Thanks bro am going on fair visa does that mean I will be allow to fly from Lagos airport to Istanbul without any COVID test or PCR test

If you are going on visitor's visa, no need to get a PCR or rapid (covid) test. I was there last week and nobody gave any issue flying from 9ja to IST. Flew turkish airline.

Don't know if students require it sha.

I know Turkey no dey ask for covid test and turkish airline no ask me for anything either as of 1.5wks ago. If you are flying turkish airline then you are fine. If na other airline, call them and ask. And if na turkish airline, call them and reverify as requirements dey change everyday with this covid situation.

You go need covid PCR test (not Rapid ooo) to enter 9ja back - can do it at airport or at the hotel wey you dey stay in Turkey.

Na Antalya we went for vacation so cant speak much about the city of Istanbul....na just pass thru for a few days for us.

Enjoy Turkey...na beautiful country!

Cheers

Experts in the house,

Questions:

How long can one stay in Turkey (without fine) if tourist visa is valid for 3 months and visa states duration of stay 10 days?

The PAID ticket that was submitted was for 14days......will the return ticket have to be changed to match the 10days? Can one stay 1 month if they wanted?

I saw on the turkey website site (http://www.mfa.gov.tr/general-information-about-turkish-visas.en.mfa) 90 days is allowed within a 180 day period so kinda confused

Cheers

And GOD!

You can get alot of the info from their website also, he basically used their website for guidance. All the above docs (copy) was also uploaded within the application and he had an appointment date (i didnt think it matter but maybe it does).

From his experience and from what others have stated, mzvisa was a mess to deal with so just be mentally prepared.

I'll feedback here once he picks up his pp.

Cheers!

That could be true though, I mean the vip payment�. I actually did that vip with the mindset that it could increase of my chances of getting the visa ooo and I hope it does lol.

It’s been a week since my interview and no mail yet as to my passport pick up, I paid for dhl and nothing yet from them also.

it is well.

it took my family member about 3weeks in total i think. went oct 16th and got email to pickup yesterday nov 3rd. got email on oct 20th to submit paid confirmed ticket sha.

Jimohbrymo:
Please must you pay for the VIP Session when you go for submission and Interview? Or it's optional.

it's optional.

Fezzar:
Which girl is that?

some lady that attends to people at mzvisa.....

Fezzar:
It's because you went for VIP

most likely!

tracin123:
I really wonder why some persons keep saying that girl is rude. She interviewed me at the vip section and she was really nice and friendly with smiles as she asked me those exact questions you stated.

They can be extra professional from what I saw that day and it depends on how they see your documents because they know work of agents

So I wasn't there and was paraphrasing what my family member encountered. He stated, he was being professional and the girl had earpiece on while attending to him and even threw money anyhow. Well, its all over now....we move on!

thanks for sharing your experience. VIP payment might have made her smile

Cheers

Just received my passport now...visa issued
3months Single entry.

Congratulations!

Did you pickup at mzvisa or at the embassy? Thanks

bankyret:
Single, 3months

Nice. And you picked up at mzvisa not Turkey embassy right?

Thanks

streetwise2015:
Thanks for the info bro...Please what questions did they ask him at the interview ?

LOL he spent more of his time outside in queue trying to get in even with an appointment date than the interview (took less than 10mins). Said one girl behind the counter/boot was very rude (I think I read about her somewhere on this thread )

General Questions:
1- Why he was going to Turkey
2- Duration of visit
3- What he does for work
4- His position at work (so emphasis was on this one for whatever reason)
5- If he's married

They didn't ask about travel history.

He had same day flight from Lagos and he almost missed his return leg because mzvisa was very hectic getting in. It's advisable to spend a night if you can.

Another point, make sure your bank statement print out is as close to the day you want to interview as possible. Cos he printed his bank statement 2weeks before the interview and he had to reprint it again on that day.......because they complained it was too far out. Also, carry dollars for application fees.

teamb:
If you have a UK/US visa you don't need a turkey visa. You can just apply for eVisa on thr official website and you go2good

Those visas expired hence not eligible for eVisa.

thanks

dehiero:
I am sure he sent copies of his previous travel history along with the new passport right?

Yes but they didnt take them. He uploaded it during the application also.

bankyret:
Yes but it has to be valid visa. If it's not valid you have no chance to process the visa online. It must be a valid UK visa.

Those visas expired hence not eligible for eVisa.

thanks

bankyret:
Yes. The visa has been given today

Congratulations!

what's the validity of the visa? multiple or single entry?

Thanks for the swift response...which countries has he visited?

UK, Dubai, Kenya, and US.

streetwise2015:
Did he use an agent or he applied for himself? Does he have any travel history? Ur response would be highly appreciated sir

He applied himself and did not use an agent. The passport he took was a renewed passport (so kinda virgin cos there is no visa in it) but yes he has travel history.

My family member that applied for visitor's visa on Oct 16th also got a pickup email today around 8pm.

Thought id feedback to the group.

Cheers!

Royals1st:
@bankyret I think I even submitted my paid flight ticket before you do if am not wrong I submitted mine paid flight ticket on 14 . 10 . 2020 and up till date I haven't receive message from Turkish embassy or DHL

When did u submit ur paid flight ticket ?

I think someone on here stated they did not get any email afterwards - they just went to the embassy and their passport was ready (they are just not consistent it seems). If you look back with the discussions maybe you will find who I'm referring too, it was for visitor's visa sha. If it's not too inconvenient might be worth going to the embassy. I know going from Lagos would be costly and not convenient.

All the best and let us know how it goes.

Cheers

Bigboy75:
My interview is 2weeks today and I haven't heard from the embassy. Does the flight booking email take long a times?

check your junk mail or try to give them a call (maybe email also). Maybe you can find their phone number somewhere within this forum.

Bigboy75:
Please how long did it take before you got the email to pay for your flight booking? I've submitted my documents for 2 weeks now and I've not gotten a mail

D person I know went on Friday Oct 16th and got email on Tuesday Oct 20......so 2 business days.

Cheers

Folarge06:
Good day my people...Thanks for your info here...
I was interviewed and submitted my documents on Wednesday 14th October 2020.. and received the following message this morning..
So what do you think?

House,

A family member applied for visitor's visa in Abj on Friday Oct 16th and got the same message as @Folarge06. He stated he submitted his booked/confirmed (NOT PAID) ticket during the interview at mzvisa. With this email, is he supposed to go get a PAID ticket or can he resubmit the confirmed ticket he submitted initially at mzvisa? He's unsure of when he will travel to Turkey with everything else going on with Nigeria so he is hesitant to go pay for a ticket.

He did the application by himself without an agent and has some travel history although his current passport does not have any visa stamp from previously visited countries.

Appreciate your insight.
