First i live in turkey and i love it so much. oh god is my life so much better here in turkey than in the uk i am a english woman and i have seen this happen to so many friends of mine good women.
First you are not going to do a runner going to another country and if he does get a visa he will for sure do a runner i so i am putting it so blunt.
Why dont you give yourself a bit more time. tell him you will come and live here to be with him see what happens tell him your not bother about him looking after and your not bother about money.
If he loves you this will be enough. look after yourself do not get hurt. I wish you could read the e.mails i have from my freinds in the uk who have married and got the visa for these men and then 2 years later been dump.
This is my view and what i have seen. there are a few that do work i have just not seen any, i love the turkish people and i have been most welcome in this country and i am very happy. But they here stories about how much money people earn in the uk and they want a better life.

jules19 is verified as being by the original poster of the question Mmm yes i have thought it through, in fact iv done nothing else lol.He does want to come to UK but due to the visa problem its easier for me to holiday over there, if he had his way he would be here now.Army yes there is not getting away from that. And marriage the reason why we arent married yet is purely because we want to do things right and not to hinder the visa thing, meaning we dont want to get married just to make visa visits more easier.He wants to meet my family but like i said cant get to england as easy as i can get there.Marriage premature maybe , but my last marriage i was with him for many years before marrying and that failed so i suppose i think more now if it feels right then go for it within reason. YOu only live once as they say :D

 I'd check more in details with the Consulate.
I am in Italy but Italy too is Schengen area as UK is, so it makes sense the policy should be the same.
Here to get in with a tourist visa from certain countries ( including Turkey ) it is true that the traveller must show proof he has enough income for his staying, but that can also be done through a bank letter of guarantee or bank fidejussion in your country.
It means that YOU deposit in a bank account a certain amount of money toward his staying and the amount is blocked for the duration of his visa. You get it back once he is gone back home. In practice you ( or your family ) are his sponsor. You would also have to show a letter of invitation as a proof that he has a place to stay, and he must also have a prepaid return ticket.
Frankly, though, I don't see the point in getting him out of his country for just 3 months, after which he must go back to Turkey. If you are thinking to make him stay beyond his visa , think twice , he would be breaking the law, but ,as his host and sponsor, so would you and it can lead to big trouble.

jules19 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThanks older sister, i see what you mean there is a lot of women in my situation that is not cocher...... Well i met him on the internet its true, but i have been going to turkey for many years and have many friends there both english and turkish... and i have seen him alot of times.
I am not moving there i did consider it but this country is so much better in every form and i would feel more comfortable on my own land, so he wants to be with me so makes sense for hiim to come here.
I have known him for about 8 months, and we talk every day, via phone or skype or msn.
He has not met my family but he has spoken with them and they got on okay over the net. We do want to get married but when we are ready not to rush visa purposes. Although the situation is that he has to go to army in 1 year if he is still there for 2 years and i dont want him to go so i am trying to rush it so he is over here before then if that makes sense. :)D

jules19 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionYes he does work. And no i have never given him any money and neither has he ever asked for anyu, in fact he is not happy when i offer to help financially and prefers to ask family or friends than me, so i dont have that problem.... He is a fitness instructor so he does have a job, when i say about money i mean the criteria is he needs about 6,000tl in his account, to me thats just not realistic! When i go away i dont even have that kind of money saved so no difference him, just the fact of being turkish i think its assumed that his after money and visa for UK.
He can pay for holiday for here but i dont know really what he has to do besides the obvious. Thanks for those who replied to this thread, it is helpful :)

No visa? No money? I hope you're not giving him any, because this is a trap a lot of women fall for.
