its my first to travel... so i dont know what to do.. turkey is very far from philippines.. i dont know what kind of visa should i get it is tourist visa or visit visa and what is the diff. of that two visa? if i get visit visa shoul i get an invitation letter came from my boyfriend proff that he invited my to his country,...

You could write a letter to Turkey embassy in your country and ask for details. But as far as I know you can get tourist visa in airport. You can stay in country for 1 month (30 days) with this visa and it costs 15 euro.

Check the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, there you will see if Philippines nationals need visa to enter Turkey, and what type of visa should you get in case it is necessary to have one.

The airport visa is available only to certain countries like the USA or many EU nations, others don´t even need a tourist visa like us Venezuelans or some other Latin American countries.

You can go to Turkish Embassy in the Philippines and secure application form and therein, you will find out the requirements in applying for a visa which include the letter of invitation from Turkey.  You must have a visa prior to leaving the Philippines.  Or, you can contact a travel agency to process your visa.

Good Luck

hi garie. hope you won´t mind if i ask you to give me an update on your visa application. i´m planning to visit Turkey too but haven´t decided on the specific date yet. i would appreciate it very much if you could give me any info on the whole process of acquiring a visa and the documentary requirements. thanks very much.

I got my visa at the airport. All I needed to show is my passport and pay whatever the fee was (I think it was $30 or $40 from the USA). They put a little sticker in your passport and you´re all set. Nothing to it.

thanks to all... i ask want to ask if turkey is open country.. and if i stay there even if i am only tourist can i go work there?

 ok i will!! dont worry..are u a filipina too? just wanna know?

You can´t work when you´re a tourist in any country (at least I haven´t heard of any that allow that). Here´s some more info about working in Turkey: http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_22081
