I just flew to Antalya Turkey, and there they always keep us high on approach, we were at 8000 ft when the GS started coming, we later on descended and caught the GS from above at 3000 ft.
Be aware that the normal limit of the GS is 10nm. However, even in my meager experience I have seen several undulating captures within 10nm. As PF I now don't engage APP until Flap 5 (some drag to reduce unwanted acceleration) and at a reasonable altitude. I'm usually managing the descent in V/S shortly before capture within the distance limits.
