I'll be doing Germany > Great Britain > Latvia > Czech Republic > Hungary > Turkey.

Would I be able to claim VAT (receive actual refund) when leaving Germany? Or would I need to wait til I leave Hungary?
Great Britain is no longer in the EU for any purposes (slight differences apply re Northern Ireland, but then that's not in GB). So any purchases in GB should be reclaimed in GB and any EU purchases should be claimed when you leave the EU.
