While it's true that visa entry regulations between Turkey and the UK (and other countries) should be reciprocal (i.e. whatever rules apply for British citizens coming to Turkey, should apply to Turkish Citizens coming into Turkey), it's clear that both countries have completely different rules which make apples-to-apples comparisons tricky and -to and extent- irrelevant.
Having said that, we've gathered information to give you some idea on how the respective visas compare (for a "Tourist Visa" and a longer term visa). Note that we have tried to provide accurate information where possible from various official sources. We have also simplified some information in order to make a simpler comparison. If you are aware of a major discrepancies, please use the comment form at the bottom of the article, or contact us.
Note that - for the moment - we have not provided a comparison regarding the citizenship process for each country.
