Your hubby will be here tomorrow with you - hope all goes to plan and no flight delays or hiccups. Will this be his very first visit to the UK? Please ask him to bring some sunshine with him as we're not having very nice weather in Scotland just now!
All the best

is it as hard for a UK national to get a Turkish visa?

great news girl. don't know your personal circumstances but i would take it easy when hes over here. seems that some men can wait years for a visa and then they end up not getting on with their wife and go walkies when they get their permanent visa. not saying this is your case but do be careful. specially if you are a lot older than him and allready have kids of your own.seems turkish men prefer single women pref there own age so just be careful. hope you don't think i'm being boring but just keep yr feet on ground hun. was reading all this on a website and was shocked by what i read. can send you a link if you like.

good luck for the future hun anyways. hope it all goes really well.

Greenshoes, by visa I take it you mean to live there permanently?

When I lived there I could have got a residence permit but I didn't bother as I would either hop on the ferry to Kos to renew my tourist visa or come home for a holiday. It was actually quite easy to do but I didn't really have to money to do it at the time.

Work visas are a different matter though, they are quite difficult to get unless you have a job offer lined up and your employer is willing to go through the visa process for you.

hey groovybaby, to be honest i take offence at that,you cant tar them all with the same brush........we are getting on great and its lovely having him here, nice to just spend normal together and chta face to face etc,not neccessarily to do anything, he only arrived yesterday and will start seeking work togther he is prepared to do whatever it takes to build our life together here.....we are same age and have no kids yet actually so we have time for ourselves and to enjoy married life first with no responsibilities and to get sorted first but thanks for your concern but i know what im doing, i wouldnt have applied for visa with him if i wasnt sure about him, and we had to prove so much that it was genuine and real anyway, they really do look into it and they are stricter now more than ever,,,,,,,, and after 4 yrs together and having lived their with him twice before also.
As ive said all along,if its a mistake to make then its my mistake to make......of course you hear bad stories i know this,my eyes are wide open!but i know what im doing and i trust him 100% totally, he really is a good guy, we have been through so much together as it is so no one can judge or know what happens behind closed doors..............

I mean for a Uk national to move to Turkey. I know Britain puts Turkish nationals through alot to get British citizenship but I wasn't sure if Turkey was as strict.

When I was out in Turkey last week I met a really nice guy. I have been with my other half for years and we are very happy together and this Turkish guy I met was on a friendship basis. He worked in the hotel and we got on really well. He has a girlfriend also whom he is very happy with. We have kept in touch via email and msn. What annoys me is the amount of people who think Turkish guys just want a visa or sex. I find it so incredibly narrow minded that people automatically think that a british girl and a Turkish guy cannot just be friends. It is as if some people assume Turkish men are some sort of lower species. rant over lol

Please, lets not put a dampner on Aams happiness. We all know what can happen, but lets remember each case is different.

We all wish Aam and her partner lots of love and luck for the future.

Now go enjoy him!

Aam, I wish you both all the best for the future. You're right - no-one has the right to judge your situation, as each case is different and depends on the individuals involved. Yes, we've all read the "horror stories", but for each of those, there are other couples who are very happy and contented together - but the "happy ever after" stories don't make as good copy for the magazines and newspapers. Enjoy being together and may you both have a long and happy life together!

aam, just ignore all the silly comments. I hope your husband is enjoying it here.

We all know these things happen but relationships fail everywhere for all kinds of reasons. For some reason people can't seem to resist mentioning about visa hunters and rats when it comes to Turkish men

Good Luck to you both. I married a boy from around the corner and he turned out to be a nightmare. So its compatibility that we should all be looking at not where they come from.
