Enjoy your retirement Teresa...Is Mick retiring too
I am sure you will not regret the move. we have been here for a few months now and we are settling in good.
Remember there are plenty of internet cafes here with web cams etc to keep in touch with the UK unless you have a phone already installed.
all the best
Tel & Sue

Thanks again.

Mick retired 2 years ago and settled into his new role very easily as I continued working. However I am now officially finished - not sure if I feel retired or unemployed but none the less we cannot wait to get there now.

We will be relying on internet cafes Tel as we do not have a phone line yet. We will apply for residency as soon as we arrive and take it from there but I think it takes a while doesn't it?

Teresa - my hunch is that you are retiring young enough to really enjoy it and young enough to face the challenge. It is a bit brave but not foolish to up sticks. Just think; someone was first to the moon and they coped. You must be both doing it because you both like to romance. I admire you both and really hope it works out for you. Stuart

Good luck to you both, I'm sure you'll have no regrets, we're 4 months down the line from d-day and have not had a moments regret yet:D.

Teresa & Mick
We are waiting 7-10 days for a phone line only. Depends on if you have an exchange nearby.
Without residency an obliging Turkish friend could get one in his name for you. transfer later.
Residency could be a couple of months or more unless you go fasttrack. then only 3-4 weeks
Good luck
Tel

Thanks Tel. We actually have existing phone lines in the house from the previous owner. We have got a friend who said they could connect us without a problem and we may look at this again whem we get over.

How do you fast track residency?

Teresa,
Good luck to you and Mick,
See you in Tekin for belly dancing when we are over in October.
We'll bring Mick a bottle of lime.
