I returned this afternoon from Turkey and while waiting at Antalya Airport I noticed that my current visa is just a one-month-visa (I did not see it when I got it because then I would have said anything about it). The two earlier visa this year, all got in Istanbul, were automatically three-months-visa. Can anybody tell if this is common in a touristy place like Antalya, is it a mistake of the customs or a way to get more money (because when I go back within 3 months now I have to buy a new one and else I wouldn't)?

i was in marmaris in oct they gave me a three mmonth one... did you still pay 10 quid? I think maybe they diddled ya anything on their embassy website?

I've never heard of this happening before? :-S

I've seen it before. But if you plan ahead, you can get the 5 year visa too

I've always been given a 3 months visa - this is strange...!

How much does a 5 year visa cost?

No, you cannot get the 5 year Visa at the airport. This needs to be done at a Turkish Consulate or Embassy.
