Can be called up any time after age 18. If you are in full time education you can postpone it until after you graduate. For this reason, many people do a part time masters while they are working and postpone it even more.

Quoting DaveT:

Just to clear something up...

When you enter Turkey via Ataturk, they do NOT stamp your passport at the visa line.

Follow the signs, in English, as well as the crowd from your flight, to Passport. The first line you will come to is Visa. It is well marked. Pay for your visa with U.S. dollars or Euros, either is accepted. They will stick a visa onto one of the pages in your passport.

Then you go to the Passport line to get your passport stamped.

I'm sorry, but you do need to stand in two lines. The Visa line is relatively short, no longer than 10 minutes. The Passport line can be much longer, with waits ranging from 10 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on how many flights are arriving.

I recommend that you bring an ATM card and get your money (as YTL) from ATMs, which are widely available. Check with your bank before you leave on your trip to make sure that your password is valid internationally and to notify them that you will be getting money in Turkey.

If you use an ATM card, you never need to change money.


Hi Dave

Great post. As I was reading the thread I started composing a reply in my head, and then I found you had written everything.

The ABSOLUTE WORST place to change money is in your hotel or off a person on the street. The NEXT WORST place to change money is in the banks. Whether at airport or anywhere else. They charge commission. The BEST is at a döviz: a licenced money change office. They have a rate for buying and a rate for selling, and what you see is what you get, no extra or hidden charges.

IN BETWEEN is your ATM card, the rate and deal you get depends on your bank abroad.

Hope you have a great trip.

.... while you are in Turkey?

The old classic AN AMERICAN COOK IN TURKEY has been fully revised and reprinted.

First published in 1961, this became a MUST HAVE for every expat in Turkey. You may have seen it under its 1990s name COOKING IN TURKEY. It has been out of print for the last 5 years.

Relaunched, updated and now available.

Don't let the title put you off. It's great for English cooks in Turkey, Bulgarian cooks, Singaporean cooks, Australian cooks etc etc


Here is my review

TAXI DRIVERS ARE THE MAIN REASON WHY FORMULA 1 TOOK PLACE IN ISTANBUL THIS YEAR...=) Istanbul taxi-drivers ROCK!


lol lol lol hmmm .. I wonder if we can get the Nascar circuit to include Istanbul. They can call it a road race!!


I think they should make a new Fast and Furious film-Way too Fast but Not Furious-Istanbul...and oh!another great movie-the turkish version of the lovely french "Taxi"....hehehehehe Istanbul taxi drivers will be even better coz they don't have their cars modified!!!!!!
According to my brother there are three things totally useless for the istanbul drivers:the breaks,the lights that show they will take a turn (dunno the english word for them)and the air condition =)(with such speed u just need to open ur window a little)haha




You forget to list the most useful thing in the car:

It was only posted first 13 minutes ago ... and you posted it again since, too... try to be more patient when you are asking people to translate for free! If it was a message about a heart attack, a fire, or even a missing boyfriend I would have understood the rush! Just I love you, I miss you, and sorry I didnt get to go on line for the last few days. Well, if it is so urgent now WHY didnt you go on line before??

The English to Turkish translators may not be on line, and when we are other people have asked for translations too.

Friendly advice for free on how not to annoy me and the others
