How is it a mess? You take bookings and inform them of the names. No mess.
Well for starters the government bring in new laws which are then filtered down to local areas which we now find out are different again, depending on where you live in the Fethiye region.
We don't have a property management company because we only let close friends and family stay. We pay for cleaners that's all. Therefore in order for us to continue doing this we have to jump through hoops, it will probably cost us money and even then we can't seem to find out what is required.
So that's our cleaner probably losing out on maybe three or four cleans this year (sorry if she is reading this). Local bars and restaurants losing out on 6 or eight people eating and drinking at their establishments and the local shops losing out as well. Multiply that up and the region will lose a fortune.
I understand the need for security but this is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. A far easier and fairer way would have been to add an addendum to the visa, which I am going to complete today, asking where I am staying and stating if I stay at any other address in Turkey over the life of said visa then I have to report that address by completing another addendum.
Then maybe they could concentrate their searches on the homes that are not logged on the system as having someone staying in them.
