oh and by the way.... you would be spending around 1500-2000 us dollars, just to get a tourist visa to Turkey. But if you would be applying for work to Turkey, in order to get a work visa, the company that would hire you, will take care of everything. Visa, etc. And just to let you know, it is hard to find a job in Turkey, and find a company or agency that would take care of your visa. Trust me, i tried.

A little piece of advice. Don´t go to Turkey, unless he will pay for everything. And make sure you REALLY know your boyfriend. I thought i have known my ex for 2 years, but apparently i didn´t.

ok i will... he pay for everything thats why he would came here to know everything i need to go to der country.. its cozt so expensive... i wonder why its really hard for filipino to go to other country...  and thank for the advise!

it´s hard really, coz a lot of filipinos take advantage using tourist visas and then stay at the country they are going to work there in hiding. you know the term "tago ng tago"? There are many filipinos in US, UK, etc, who use tourist visa, and never come back to the Philippines. These kind of people give all Filipinos a bad reputation, no wonder visas (even tourist visas) are so expensive.

oo nga no!!! kainis... hehehehe!!!! i dont want to blame them maybe coz philippines is a poor country thats why even if they are in danger they will just to earn money to send to their family. so have you been in turkey? and one more question if ever i am now in turkey can i extend my vacation there? thinking in advance

nope haven´t been in Turkey. but i know some details, coz i enquired a lot before i decided to apply. (actually i didn´t apply anymore)  I think if you´re in Turkey, and you want to extend your vacation, you have to go to Philippine Embassy in Turkey, I think it is in Istanbul or Ankara. I´m not sure though, if it´s easy to get approved.

Oh i forgot to mention. You are spending 2000 US dollars  for tourist visa, which is only 2 WEEKS. (pocket money not included. Turkish embassy requires you to at least have 150 dollars a day for ur stay in Turkey. 150 US dollars times 12 days... do the math... )  Other countries can get a tourist visa for 1 month -3 months.

And i notice that you make a lot of e-t translations too. Hmmm if he doesn´t know any english, you better start learning Turkish. Or at least you better start teaching him to speak english. That´s what i did. I taught my ex bf english. I didn´t know i would regret it 2 years later.... lol...

hehehe.. i try to learn turkish language but sometimes i cant maybe bcoz i am still learning to speak english.. but sometimes i can communicate with him without talking english coz he hated me if he did not understand what i am saying... and now he come again, so i watch turkey film coz i want to know the pronounciation of every world. like Çok i thought it sounds like this "kok" so i said that word then i said im like chicken "kok kok"  but when he pronounce it its "chalk" so i want to learn more.

by the way garie, just want to inform you i just paid 1,500 pesos only for my tourist visa. So I´m wondering why i saw someone tells you  1000 us dollar++?

I just went there last year 2007.

sorry 2008 i mean. They gave me 1 month to stay. Just the working visa is the hardest to get coz they will require you lots of papers.

thanks... you least my worries coz i thought getting visa is not easy i was so confuse, i inquire actually to the no. that you give me they say i just need to pass the passport my pic and letter of invitation came from my bf. then money. the bank statement is not needed to me all they need is a financial staement of my bf so that they know if my bf will carry me there.. thanks for all the info. i just wait my bf to come here so that i can start all the processing of getting visa. ooopsss maybe the 1500 us dollars is the fair or the planeticket. coz that the personnel said to me then he said stop over to dubai then after dubai ride to turkey..

by the way hows turkey can you tell me what could i expect when i get there... im really scared to go other country and what should be the right manners should i do when my bf is introducing to his family?

 Your much welcome! Oh yes. that was so good to hear!! I told about bank statement coz i shoulder my 2 way airfare ticket by myself so they asked bank statement to me.
