The decision by the Turkish authorities to remove their “visa on arrival” service means that from 10 April 2014 everyone must obtain an e-visa; it’s a straight forward process and will remove the need to queue.

However, it is essential all travellers to Turkey are aware of the requirement. Clearly this is particularly important for customers who have already booked their holidays and business trips. Lastly, please also bear in mind that any visa, stamped or electronic, is only relevant to the passport on which the application was made.
