Visas
Turkey requires a visa from most countries, however this is only a procedure and citizens of most countries can buy visa stamps on arrival at Istanbul Ataturk Airport. Visa stamps can also be purchased in advance from the Conference Organisers which may prevent a queue at the airport.
If you are interested in pre-purchasing a visa stamp please contact Derry (derry@hartleytaylor.co.uk or telephone +44 (0)1844 275650).
