All UK passport holders visiting Turkey need a visa, with three-month visas obtainable at border posts for £10 (sterling only). For visits longer than three months, or for employment, work permits can be obtained from the Turkish Embassy or the Turkish Consulate in London.

Recent changes in Turkish legislation relating to the calculation of residence permit fees for foreigners living in Turkey mean they are more expensive. Check with the Turkish Embassy for costs for the first month and subsequent months as well as permits for 2 and 5 years.
