Question
hi there i wonder if u can help me... my boyfriend lives in turkey and he wishes to come to england for 3 weeks on holiday, can he travel on his passport or does he need a visa? i hope u can help thank you kirsty
Kirsty - I can't, as you'll understand, give legal advice on this, but the UK Government site, detailed below, says he will need a visa - which must be obtained in Turkey, i.e. before arrival in the UK.

The "UK in Turkey" pages are here:
http://ukinturkey.fco.gov.uk/en/about-uk/visiting-uk/practical-information
.. and it would make sense to forward these details to him, so that he can get definite information.
My very best wishes,
Alun Hill, MCIJ

Expertise
As a full time, UK based, travel journalist, I travel almost constantly around the whole of the UK, searching out restaurants, hotels and "must see" places. Visitors for both business and pleasure are welcome to ask questions. I almost always travel by public transport, so questions on rail, air and coach / bus travel are also very welcome. I also regularly write about and use the "Eurostar" rail service between London and Continental Europe - which uses a tunnel under the English Channel - so I am able to help with any questions there, too.
