I am an American woman and met a Turkish man online. We have been talking several times a day via computer and phone for over a month. We both have fallen in love with eachother and even though it has been a short time we want to meet eachother and be married. My question is would it be wise for me to travel to Turkey and meet this man since it is going to be so expensive for him to travel here. I do have some concerns but my heart is willing to do this. Please help in this matter.
Does a portugese passport holder an a british passport holder need a visa for a 2week stay in Turkey?.... and if so can we purchase them once arriving at the airport?
Am an Indian national who flew from New York to Istanbul. Was really misled by all the posts here as well as the Turkish Embassy. As an Indian having valid US or schengen visa or advance parole do not get visa from consulate as it costs more money 60 dollars instead of 20 at the Turkish Border gates. This is what happened with me: 1) People on these blogs scared me that being on advance parole I will have issues as my US visa is expired, what transpired after that was very different. 2) Landed in Istanbul - As an Indian had to go to Cops first to get a clearance certificate. The cops were very nice even though only 1 knew English. It was quite intimidating to see like 5 - 6 cops looking over your papers. But dont blame them as they didnt seem much aware of an advance parole document. Ultimately their Senior Officer cleared my case. All this took a total of 15 minutes. 3) I did not go back in the line but went straight to visa counter where it takes exactly 1-2 mins to issue visa which is a paper document for Indians, and a comical sticker for US citizens. 4) Final security check at Immigration counter and you are in.
Be confident when you speak and have a smile on your face is my only advice.
It is a lovely country with great people. Dont let these blogs misguide you.
Thank you for posting your experience. I am planning a family trip to Turkey from the US - traveling party has the following individuals.
- 2 US Citizens - 2 Indian Citizens living in the US - no current visa stamp - have advance parole doc - 1 Indian Citizen living in the US - has valid H1B stamp
Based on your experience above, I'm hoping that there will be no issue with the 3 Indian Citizens in our party. Can you let me know what airline you flew and also if you have any issues with boarding a flight to the US from Turkey with only your advance parole doc. I have not been able to get any good info from the Turkish consulate but based on your post, it doesn't look like we need to apply for a Turkish visa for the 2 AP holders. I know US Citizens and non-US Citizens with valid US Visas can get a visa sticker on arrival.
