you think two and a half months would be considered a length of time? considering I have lived there for so long? I was under the impression/been told that its around 6 months for things to settle and to be seen as a tourist again. I know these questions can be futile because I guess one IO could think 2 weeks in your home country is enough and another 6 months
thanks very much for all the info. It's much appreciated! And if I did manage to get the METV, they wouldn't be able to refuse entry? unlike a Single Entry Tourist Visa?
