Very unsettling indeed.

Lots of topics on residency permits but with the right to immediately reapply on cancellation, does it mean those wanting to stay for 6 months can buy a visitor visa on arrival then a 1 year RP and repeat each year? I don't know how much the process costs but visa cost would be 20 USD plus 250TL for the 1 year RP.?

[davybill]

you can have a 6 month RP if you want it.

This is what we hope to do. Arrive in Oct on a tourist Visa (90 days) and then apply for a one year RP. Then go home in May and start the process again when we return the following Oct. That's the plan but this being Turkey

You can have a Residence Permit for as little as 1 day and in multiples of months i.e 2,3,4,5......months.

I think that is old information. Following the recent rule changes I believe there are four types of residence permit that would affect the majority of us.

Short Term - 1 year
Long Term - Available after 8 years of permanent residence and expires 2099
Family - Married to a Turkish National
Student - Student
