Payment Procedures

    We at Ekstra Tourism prefer to be paid by credit card. We also accept payment by:

  • Bank transfer
  • Bank draft/cheque. Personal or company cheques can NOT be accepted.
  • Cash / travelers’ cheques. These can only be accepted in Istanbul to pay for additional services during or after the visit.

    If payment is by credit card:

    Only Visa and MasterCard can be accepted. A form must be completed and faxed to Ekstra Tourism before a credit card payment in US dollars can be made. The form can be printed from our website. Click here for the form.

    If payment is by bank draft/cheque:

    A bank draft/cheque is somewhat time consuming to make, very slow to use and a little more expensive. It normally takes a total of five weeks before the funds are eventually deposited into our account. It is Ekstra Tourism’s policy to add a $25 surcharge for each bank transfer payment. Bank draft/cheque in US dollars can be accepted if it is made to Ekstra Tourism & Travel, A.S.

    Unfortunately Ekstra Tourism does to accept personal or company cheques.
