Residence Permit
« on: January 04, 2009, 08:46:11 AM »
Because my visa and passport expire close together, I am worried that my passport renewal will not arrive in time. Is it possible to renew my residence permit for 6 months only?
Thank You

Yes it is possible. In fact you can renew it in multiples of just 1 month if you need.

If you renew your passport through the Honorary British Consulate in Fethiye, it takes 10 working days.

Does it cost anymore to renew passport at consulate compared to UK & what documentation do you need?

Hi Kevin, just renewed my 10 year passport at the consulate in Fethiye. Total cost 345ytl. Called in there first for the form, had 3 new photos done, and supplied my old passport. Jobe done and new passport collected in less than 10 days.

Well that is just over double the price to renew in UK but seems to be quicker.

You can also download the application form from the FCO website if you want.

Thanks, everyone for your quick replies. I am pleased about the 10 days turnaround.  It means that I can renew my passport before my residency.
