If you are marrying in Didim, then Izmir would be the nbearest consulate for you. When you go there try to get there early as they close for a couple of hours for lunch.

No problem. If there is anything else you need to know just ask. Good luck with the wedding x
Im hoping that someone can give me an answer to the blood test qu...
Im hoping to get married in turkey this sept, we are staying in Fethiye and getting married at the blue lagoon.
Some people say that you do need to have blood tests while others say they didnt!!
I am not marrying a turkish man, we are both from the uk.
I Know the test is for STDs but which ones do they test for??
I just think that its a very important test that i wouldnt have thought to have done here, but raises issues for me, as while im 99 percent sure we are both ok..it gives u that nagging worry that what if your not...and then find out on the eve of your wedding!!
And if we were to get ourselves tested beforehand what would we test for??
hope to hear from you soon,

They aren't for STDs, although I think they do test for HIV. I can't remember exactly what they do test for but I will find out and let you know.
Te tests are really to make sure that neither of you carry a genetic disease that you could pass on to children.

Thanks for replying, it would be good to know what they are testing for, i have read somewhere that they only insist turkish people have them, but again dont know if that the truth!!
Thanks again x x x
I'm pretty sure you wont have to have them done as you are both British. I think I had to have it as My husband is Turkish and I was living there at the time too.

If a couple did have blood tests, and a problem was found, what would happen then?. They wouldn't actully stop them marrying would they?
You will definitely have to go to the medical centre even if you don't have to have the blood tests, or at least one of you will. I didn't go as my husband took both our forms and got them signed.
The blood tests are for HIV, Thalassemia and Hepatitus - I think that is all.
Feel alot better just having an idea...i can now enjoy getting on with planning my wedding!!
Havnt been to Turkey before
Im so excited!
Thank you!
hi fwh.....read that....it says if you have epilepy ect you are banned from marrying...tweetie
One thought/question - is the OP making use of the wedding service provided by some TOs? If so ALL this information should have been given to them - if not then very shoddy service.

I was just surprised by the rules about epilepsy ect ( dont know what the ects are ).....so yes if they found out you had certain things they would not let you marry.....these are things people are unaware off that wouldnt affect your right to marry here in uk....tweetie
Another thing it says it that you are required to have a medical exmination. I don't know ayone who has ever been asked for an examination. We had to get papers signed by a doctor by I wasn't even there when the doctor signed mine.
We did have to have a "medical" at Fetiye hospital.
This is what happened:
Dr: Hello
Us: Hello
Dr: Did you walk here or get a taxi?
Us: We walked
Dr: If you're healthy enough to walk, you're healthy enough to get married. Pay the fee at the front reception desk please *signs form*
I found this web site, it's actually connected to the apartments we normally stay in, this is my only connection but I thought i would post the link.
It was completely stress free even though we had no idea what the wedding venue looked like until we arrived to get married.
I would do it all over again, glad i married there
