Turkey Information needed!!
Hello All,
Next Saturday I am riding towards Turkey from Greece, but I am a bit troubled and need some advice (if anyone knows) because both Embassies (Greek and Turkish) have not been of a great help!
In Greece we have new type ID's which permit the entry to Turkey without any problems, the problem is that to get the new ID you need a whole lot of paperwork and changing all over the place the old ID number to the new...So I am still with an old ID which means also an expired passport.
I have a second Nationality (Dutch) and I do have a valid Dutch passport! I saw that for Dutch passport holders there is a visa requirement, at many sites they say that this visa can be acquired at the borders of Turkey, is this valid? will I need any other kind of papers with me for this?
Also another problem that has arised is that my bikes registration is under the name of my father! I heard I will also need a power of attorney paper (vakaletname) anyone knows any more information regarding this?
I am considering the option of running Monday morning and trying to get a new ID and a renewed Greek passport, but because you never know with bureaucracy (and the fact that August is the month that most people are away for summer holidays) I can't rely on having everything ready until Friday evening.
