It doesn't mean that anybody from a country which doesn't apply visas to your country's citizens can visit your country without visa. Ask your local governor or check ministry of foreign affairs web site, if they publish such information. (99.99% they do)

I think there's no country at all where you don't need a via for Turkey. Luckily most countries can just go to Turkey, pay 10 euros and get their visa . Just check google, I had to figure it out for a friend of mine not too long ago, and it's not hard to find!

I just checked our Government web site about not needing visa for Turkey and I must correct you-citizens of Slovenia do need a visa for entering Turkey(you can get it at the airport and it's 15€ or 20$).But it's truth that diplomats don't need it.
As for Turkish citizens:they don't need visa for Slovenia if they have valid visa for any other country in EU.And again-diplomats don't need visa(as far as I know,diplomats are a *special breed*anyway and don't need to do a lot of things that we-not so *special breed*- have to do)
Best regards from Slovenia

There is a good-sized list of countries a Turkish national can visit, but you also need to be aware of HOW to get there.  Many of these countries cannot be accessed by direct flight, and require a transit visa (at least) through another european country.  We learned this the hard way when my now-husband and I were going to get married in the Bahamas ... until England refused my husband AND his older parents their visas.  Of course, flights all need to be purchased PRIOR to applying for the transit visa.  Needless to say, we lost a LOT of money.

Don´t know why they said this and to this day, he said he will never try to apply for any visa because he was heartbroken and he doesn´t ever want to go through the pain of the rejection he felt.

 Applying a visa for a turkish ppl is a real torture. Coz they behave you how they want and ask and want many stupid things and u do not have any rights to ask WHY? u can apply again they say. Coz whenever u applied consulate for visa u have to pay and pay for everything, even when u want to ask something on phone they ask you an ip code (i.e. in austria consulate), I learnt that you have to send money to their account and bank give u a number. without this number they dont answer anything

And they can want some papers that they dont ask from others. You have to be very patient.

Too many stupid things,

Polish people applying for visa to the US or Australia also have to go through an unpleasant and pricey procedure. So do non-EU citizens from Europe if they want to go to the EU countries. I think it´s normal that countries want to protect their job market and operate on assumptions while deciding on visas.

Yes I have been there as well. But they only requested booked flight details not the purchased ticket. They also demanded the hotel booking details on a fax message sent by the hotel with the hotel logo on it.

 

So I didn´t pay anything until the visa is granted.

Turkey is getting its´ own back by doing it´s best to make it expensive for those of us that want to live here.  The cost of a 2-year residency permit for UK nationals has gone up from 1154 tl in December (when I renewed mine) to 1752 tl - an increase of around 300 tl a year which is a 50% increase!

you can live in Turkey by paying 1700 tl each year, but I can`t live in your country paying a fee.

How about putting it this way:

 

Some countries have to encourage foreigners to come and live there, provided that they can pay an annual fee (and buy a property and invest in the local business)

 

Some countries do not sell resident status but rather put restrictions on foreign flow, ie if they find you useful for the country, you are welcome to settle down free of charge.

 

And, dear Tami, many Turkish citizens live in LiR´s country (for free) so it´s quite unfair to get at her throat saying that she can live in your country and you can´t live in hers. It´s not her fault your country sells itself cheap...blame your government, organise a protest...oh, sorry, I forgot you´re a few thousand kilometres away from home...even you decided the US gives you better opportunities than your homeland

 Turkish pp in europe are not living for free. they are working and doing every job that most european ppl do not. if foreign ppl buying resident here, turkish ppl in europe add more to european economy than foreign ppl do in turkey economy. Europe always complain about immigrants but there is a reality that they use them very well.

EU is still trying to find every way how they could avoid turkish membership, and i searched in my country´s government pages but all i found is - third country people have to learn some estonian and do exam, and then they can apply for permit to live here and work here, those permits are permanent or temporary - depends on how long they wanna stay here, but i still haven´t found anything about any fee for that, although i think for language courses and/or for taking the official language exam they have to pay smth, just like we are paying here if we want to do TOEFL or TORFL or some other exams (i paid for my TORFL, too)...but i will keep searching.

Well, I have to say, my husband has applied for a study visa, a tourist visa AND a transit visa, and he´s been turned down all 3 times.  How lucky I am to be Canadian, hop on a plane and go pretty much wherever I want with very little difficulty!  My only question is: why is a Canadian charged 60 USD for a visa in Turkey, while everyone else is charged around 20USD?  Not that I´m complaining, just curious ...

It´s £10 for 3 months tourist visa for Brits.  Cheaper or not-required at all for some other nationalities.

 Turkish pp in europe are not living for free. they are working and doing every job that most european ppl do not. if foreign ppl buying resident here, turkish ppl in europe add more to european economy than foreign ppl do in turkey economy. Europe always complain about immigrants but there is a reality that they use them very well.

Governments change, so everything will not go like this forever. I am sure that one day european union will run after turkey for membership.

 

That´s an entirely different thing, you´re talking about people who come to work in a country. We were talking about people who live abroad not because they work there but because they have enough money to support themselves (ie are retired and are looking for a nice place to stay).

 

The way you talk about immigrants is as if they were brought on banana ships. That´s not true! people want to live in the best conditions they can get. If their home country like Turkey or Poland, doesn´t provide them (the same goes for education), people decide to immigrate. And it´s not like they do it just to help their target country, it´s to improve their own material status. Of course, no country would take immigrants if it didn´t need them. And here come immigration regulations and score-based visa systems. The same goes for Turkey - you can´t freely work there, you need a permit. As for their imput into the economy, don´t forget that usually what you contribute is what you get back. So, the situation where you work and use free medical services is an example. Or, you work and your children get free education. I don´t see why you´re saying that by immigrating you contribute more than a person who worked in one country but invests in another - one that they hadn´t given him or her anything before.

 

I don´t see why Europe would want to beg Turkey for membership. What is it that Turkey has and Europe doesn´t? EU is an organisation, if you want to be in it, you apply, learn the rules and either implement them or not. I´ve never heard about EU trying to get a country into its structures, some countries simply don´t want it - like Norway, but EU never begs them to join.

By the way all these conditions and difficulties are for normal passports. for service (Grey) and diplomatic passport (green), visa is not required except some countries (UK, Greece etc).

for every passport Greece wants Visa, it seems they still see us as enemy.

fabulous!!!

 

and i think the same goes with every country. turkey doesnt have a big heart for poorer countries.

for example KZ doesnt easily give visas to the chineese citizens or countries of africa..

 

besides most westerners come to spend money not to earn. and turkeys economy depends on western visitors.

 What do you know about imigrants really?

20-30 years ago, it was german and some other countries, asked for workers from different countries mostly from Turkey. now there is a big turkish community in europe and with time it is increasing. of course some come with illegal ways but mostly they went there with legal ways with the agreement between governments. maybe They still see them as immigrant.

 

Actually what europe has now? We see the economic status of EU, recently we saw Greece , I dont think it will go long. this big community will collapse one day. Turkey is in the middle of most important energy sources, and one of the biggest economy and one of the the fast growing economy in the region. I dont know if europe has a big energy source for long term?  

 

EU rules? I do not think they have rules. Turkey is a candidate for about 50 years, still a candidate, they just want us wait at the door, they will call when they need. there is a reality that they will never accept Turkey even if turkey implement them.

 

But a few weeks ago EU showed their real face and they abolished Visa application to Serbia and some other countries  except Bosna which are not EU member or a candidate. so, what kind of rules do these countries implement? Turkey and Bosna couldnt? why serbia why not Bosnia and Herzegovina (40 % of the population is muslim!).

Lastly, Of course countries are free to apply Visa to some countries BUT application procedure is really a torture and insulting. For me it is strange when u complain about some small procedures about turkey, which can not be compared what turkish ppl meet.

The Turkish immigrants came, earned money. They were happy, the receiving countries were also happy. Most of the next generations Turkish people in Holland have good jobs. They are not "immigrants" pushed into bad jobs. Compared to other immigrant groups that arrived at the same time, Turkish people have put a lot of stress on getting a good education after their children joined them. The Turkish people in Holland with horrible underpaid jobs are mostly illegals. Often they run away for Turkish army-duty. These immigrants cost the country a lot of money. Think about lost taxes, lost legal jobs, police costs of tracking people down.

 

Turkey is not heaven. No country in the EU is heaven. Rules are not made up to tease people, or torture people. They are made up because of past experiences. Yes, these rules do not work that well all of the time. They often hit the good people the hardest, and the worst people find ways to avoid them. But if you can think of a system that works better, go work for the government and bring upon some chances.

 I havent heard anyone who escaped from turkey due to army-duty, but mostly being involved in terrorist actions. there are some organisations which help such ppl to escape and work for their group and pay to them. Going a country is not easy unless some ppl help you. that why they work in such places.

What do I know about immigration? Well, first of all I am an immigrant myself so I suppose I have an idea. What you wrote basically agrees with my point - nobody FORCED people to immigrate, they did it because their homeland didn´t give them the same opportunities. So, they made a conscious decision to swap patriotic blah blah blah for a fair amount of deutsche marks. Simple. They gave their children an easier start, got jobs, often social housing as well. Is that what you call abuse?

 

The "we didn´t get visas abolished because we´re Muslims" slogan is tiresome. The USA hasn´t abolished visas for Poles athough it did so for The Czech Republic because of what? Are we too Muslim for them? It´s nonsense.

 

As for Turkey becoming a world power (I mean a generally recognised world power, not the world power Turks only consider themselves), you´ve got my best wishes. If it comes true, that´s great. You´ll be happy and wealthy and then you´ll get flooded with evil westerners looking for jobs {#emotions_dlg.nuts}

last night i watched a documentary about illegal immigrants in uk. a sad thing to watch. desperate people hiding in lorries. or the ones who work in hotels illegally. im really sorry for them.

 

a lady from moldova (pretending to be from lithuania) begged on her knees. and i cried with her.

 

i know what she had to pay to get to UK, i know what she has gone through. and then humiliations. such a shame their own countries (including mine) make people immigrate.

Out for those who applied - Serbia, Macedonia nad Montenegro got visa free entry and Albania, Bosnia and Kosovo didn´t - the reason given was not coming up to EU standards in therm of border control for example, but I also read they might be given visa-free passes this year (not Kosovo of course ).

claiming that they are part of EU, not the countries that are not insterested. You can also give China as an example of non-muslim country that needs visa to enter EU countries . And we are talking about EU´s discrimination and hypocracy over some countries, understood?

Fast growing economy? with millions of unemployed people. How is it possible? I agree Turkey has got many resources but all gifted to foreign enterprices or cannot be used. Nothing left to be sold but Turkey´s debt reached to a record.

 

 

 I am comparing here, turkey and EU economies, do you think  there are not unemployed people in EU even in France, Germany, Spain, Greece. what about poland, Slovakia or romania?

they are not better than turkey, even our goverment has sold many resources to foreigners.

 

EU has lost its charm and attractiveness, and they dont have anything to give turkey maybe they can get many things from Turkey.

 The easiest way to get permission for living in a country is political asylum, and they use kurdish card and PKK terrorism. University registration is not free no one gives you money to registre a university. most of the community organisations work for to help terrorists. and it was proved that terrorist groups are mostly supported from Europe (From these organisations), they send money or help terrorists to escape europe.

 

PKK is a forbidden organization in Holland. You can not get asylum in Holland for being a Turkish Kurd, and if you say "Hi, I´m with the PKK" they will put your behind in jail. Only if the Turkish government would try to silence you by putting you into jail, when you are NOT a member of an illegal organization and have done nothing wrong, then you could get asylum.

What I ment with bribing is this. Let´s say you´re an uneducated guy, wanted to flee Turkey. You make sure you have a buddy in the registration office of the university. He makes some false papers (for a bunch of money) and wham, you can go to the Dutch embassy, with ´proof´ that you are a student. I didn´t say anybody gives the student money to register. I just said that you can bribe people to give you student papers, even when you are not a student.

I personally know of a Kurdish guy who did this, and got his visa papers very easily with some falls papers. So THERE!

 

And I know that not all people who are dodging army duty are Kurds I´m just speaking of some personal experiences.

 of course PKK is forbidden, but on paper, they do their work with different names. Most of the kurdish organisations are supporting terrorism in europe. you can see what they work for in your country when terrorist leader in jail had "flu" or "fever".

you are generalizing individual events. you can not make a conclusion, if one person got visa with illegal papers, there are thousands of illegal immigrants, do they all prepared fake papers. if it would so, they would understand that these universities dont have too many turkish students, it would take attention.

if you are turkish citizen you have to do army duty, even if you live in europe. if you work in a foreign country at least 2 years you got a right that u do army duty only 1 month. or in turkey if you are student in a university u can delay ur army-duty for long times. they dont take anyone to army immediately. I havent heard anyone who wanted to escape europe coz of army duty. Ppl just want to go europe for earning much more money, and come back when they had enough money.

 I´m not talking only about universitiets. I´m using it as an example. A lot of papers are fake in Turkey. And you are telling long stories about none of your personal experiences. I know so many people who escaped for army duty, is this a simple coincidence?

 I dont know how many experiences you had but I live in turkey and have many turkish friends who live in europe. I havent heard even one example as u mentioned. if you count all turkish students in your country came there due to army duty in turkey, it is again a generalization.

No, not the students...pfff... I am saying that SOME people who are NOT REALLY students, bribe somebody to get university papers.... there are also people who get fake passports, fake all kinds of stuff I´m not saying that most people in Holland are illegal. Most of them are not, and most of the legal Turkish people here have good jobs.

I was saying that the Turkish people in Holland with dead-end jobs are often illegals. That´s how I came to this example. There was some kind of comment that ´Europe´ only wants people to come for dead-end jobs.

I will use this thread to ask the question how Turkish people perceive EU.During my last stay in Turkey I had a chance to meet some important officials,majors of towns or heads of educational authorities not to mention some governors.Most of those I met were fascinated with EU and during our talks they brought an issue that i want to repeat here asking for your own opinions.They were saying that they are told about benefits of joining and just of EU.They seemed a bit surprised when I was giving explanation that EU is corrupted,full of bribery and injustice.And that still getting a decent post there means family bounds and pulling the strings.

I asked them why they grew such fascination and they told me they believe EU access would solve many problems as they were told.By whom???Is it general tendency?or just a dream picture painted by EU supporters?

thank you for answers

Turkey´s EU adventure began decades ago back in the 63 after Turkey signed an agreement. Since then there have always been unkept promises, lots of rescheduling, protests over broken promises etc. Some people in this country, especially the illimunated realize that the EU is nothing more than a device used by governments to make radical changes which would otherwise be a lot more difficult to achieve.

 

If everything proceeded according to the plan, Turkey would have become a member a long time ago. Unfortunately, none of this has ever been materialized. Turkey protested the fact that even former iron curtain countries which had no place in the initial plan have been generously offered European membership.

 

On the part of the European countries, EU membership is a tool for helping create an easier to control Turkey, and on the part of Turkish politicians it is a device for materializing their political desires. For example, Ak parti, played the EU card to open up a so called democratic window in the status quo driven political conjunture which they used to legalize their not-so-democratic ideals and to find a place for them in jurisdiction, justice and execution. They have realized all their objectives under the pretext of achieving compliance with the EU norms.

 

The entire history of Turkey-EU relationship is based on hypocrisy. After years of struggling all that Turkey has so far achieved is customs union which is more beneficial for Europe than it is for Turkey.

 

Turkey has now better options than the EU.

VISA ISSUE and MORE

 
As far as I know visa problems depend on national country policies and dlplomatic solutions.

It is duty of states.

I think that safety should always come first...the country/government should protect its people.
I think TLC member friends are right what they said on this topic.

EU (European Union) of course is an important community.

As you know well the earth is becoming a global world.

China and India are now bocoming new super powers with the GNP (Gross National Product) - Economic growth - increase (% 8 a year)  after USA in the world according to the World Bank and IMF publishments.

There are a big size socio-economic competition in the world.

There is a newly globalization phenomenon on the world.High technology, community culture, values, social structures, micro- economic equilibriums and macro-economic equilibriums are changing very fastly.

Some people say “Some European countries are against Türkiye and its membership.”This is a politic opinion.

But this is not a fact, an important issue, a rational approach. Türkiye has already joined EU in the past.A lot of Turkish families are living in EU.

And everybody knows this historic fact.Türkiye is between the safetiest countries.

I see a lot of people from Asia and Africa are living with their families in the European countries, Australia, USA and Asia.

I see a lot of Turkish people are living with their families in  the European countries like Germany, England, Austria, France, Holland, Switzerland, etc.

Turkish companies are working in Asia, Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia.

There are a large number of immigrants in the world countries.

Many people from England, Germany, Holland, Russia, Greece, etc  are buying their houses in Türkiye.They are having companies in  Türkiye.

Turkish tourists are travelling all over the world.

A lot of tourists from USA, Canada, UK, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, etc  are going to Türkiye.Also the biggest tourist - travel ships.

Many Turkish students are studying at USA, Europe, Asia, etc .

Australia is a newly developing continent.

Latin America is a fastly developing continent.

But as you know well unemployment issue with an unemployment ratio of % 15-20  is a big social problem in the countries.

I see many TLC Turkish members are living with their families in Canada, USA, UK, France, Holland, abroad.

I see many TLC foreign members are living in Türkiye with their families.

I see many TLC foreign members are traveling to Türkiye every time and living in Türkiye with their friends.

There is no ethnic – ethnical approach in the world countries anymore…

I think visa issues will be solved against the illegality and negativeness mutually and legally in a way in  the light of  country security for every country in a short time by EU.

I think visa issues will shape as required mutually in a positive legal model in the light of globalization and national policies everywhere.

 Politicians in Turkey, trying to  impose EU membership story as a way of economical progress, but almost all intellectuals and most of the public do not believe those things. neither European union nor politicians, even politicians know that membership  is not possible.

European countries are against Turkey´s membership, not only german or France. if every country did a referandum about Turkey´s membership, it would be very clear, Im sure that we would get same results from every european union countries like France and Germany.

The most important question is why Turkey is still a candidate. whey they accepted Turkey as a candidate, even though most important autorities say that Turkey can not be a normal member like Greece, France, Austria etc., but  maybe a specieal member.

Actually, EU is not governt by democracy, Coz decision makers are different. EU has own politics and Turkey is one part of this.

There are direct flights to Croatia from Turkey, and no need for a transit visa.  however, once Croatia joins the EU, one other country will be closed to Turkish nationals.

Most of my Turkish friends have similar issues with EU membership, and are against EU membership.  

However i think humanitarian concerns are important as well.  I have been looking after a young Turkish man with Asperger´s ( a type of autism), who has had a horrendous experience in his country.  He is very fragile, both mentally and physically, but highly intelligent.  In the EU he could perhaps survive and succeed as a student, because of the higher awareness of mental health issues.  But in Turkey, without any money or support, his condition is a slow and agonizing death sentence.

No visa needed if you jump out of the ship and swim.
