Entrance fee for Istanbul arrival

[Pennstatedj]

Need some advice. We will be sailing on Celebrity Constellation out of Istanbul in November. I would like to know if anyone has prepaid via Turkey government website in order to save standing in line upon arrival.

gJust arrived hours ago. Buying visa a breeze. Just have $20 us in hand and you get the visa stamp. Immigration live very long but each went fast ,

We will be on the Constitution on Monday and arrived in Istanbul this afternoon with our e-visa - super easy! We got them from the Embassy site online (not a visa service company) for our date of arrival several weeks ago, paid online and printed them. At Passport Control they looked at them, stamped our passports and we were on our way. Sure wish other countries were as easy.

Talk about the turkish and their exchange rates - it's £10 for the british so it should be $15 not $20. They do the same when in the turkish towns too - best price is in Lira, then euros, then UK£ then USD
