Crossing by car from Bulgaria into Turkey and then into Georgia

score:3

Accepted answer

Turkey is about to end their visa-on-arrival program and is already offering an online eVisa application system. Even if visa-on-arrival is still available at designated airports, I am pretty sure that crossing a land border requires you to obtain a visa in advance. The online application process is very simple, you fill out some personal details and your passport number, pay the US$ 20 visa fee with a credit or debit card and can immediately download your eVisa as a PDF file. As a UK citizen, you will get a multiple entry visa allowing you to stay in Turkey for 90 days within a 180 day period.

Bringing a UK registered car into Turkey or Georgia is also relatively painless. For Georgia, you will need an International Driving Permit in addition to your UK driver's license. In Turkey, you are currently required to have both a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher and two warning triangles in the car. Even in other EU countries, there may be different regulations when it comes to what safety equipment is required to have in the car. Organizations like RAC offer current summaries of such requirements for UK drivers, both for Georgia, Turkey and many other European countries. You should check this advice before you leave.
