seems that way and if thats the case cancelling the flight as police clearance is needed which takes 3 months etc to get.

In short.

May as well shut all tourism from SA to Turkey...

Agreed. Turkey was a great and convinient country to travel to due to the easy evisa process but I am not sure I’ll spend massive amounts of efforts to go visit.
Very sad that they stopping this process.

agreed that police clearance is a killer hope they change it and quick hopefully its an oversight and back to on arrival.

This is moving so far in the wrong direction. Turkey as a travel destination for me now is a no no. Their visa requirements are more onerous than schengan

For sure. Sorry for the hassles.
Hopefully it is just an oversight.
The other option is Thailand or Tbilisi as you don’t need a visa.
Singapore also an option and Hong Kong as well.

Did Hong Kong loved it might just use Turkey as a base to pop off for next destination as we fly from Serbia to Turkey. But will see. Also have friends in Georgia so thats a possibility too.
