The Turkish government has recently changed the rules regarding British nationals entering the county with a visa.

To obtain a visa, travellers' passports, valid for at least six months from the date of entry, must now also contain a blank page for a visa stamp.

If not, the Turkish authorities have agreed to issue an 'Entry-Exit form' which must be carried everywhere when in the country and presented a border offices on departure.

However, from 31 December 2012, if the passport does not have a blank page, British nationals will be refused entry into Turkey.

British citizens are required to obtain a multiple entry visitor's visa, which is valid for 90 days and costs £10 (payable only in cash) on arrival at the port of entry.

According to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, visas can also be obtained in advance from the Turkish Consulate in London.
