Well said Starman !

If people do want to have 90/180 visas they can always go on the 180th day and play tourist for a day and night in Rhodes, Kos or wherever

 After all it is a tourist visa you get and normally how many tourists stay for longer than 90 days in a 6 month period.



Retired ones that wish to come and go to their Turkish holiday homes for maybe more than 90 days in the summer months but spend the rest of the time - and 6 months in the winter at home in UK - their country of residence.

Its not as though there isn't a visa option to enable them to do exactly that,and all of the people I know who fall into that category and who's Turkish residency pattern does not fall into the 90/180 day cycle have taken out RP.

The Turkish consulate states this:
Please note: tourist visas do not give you the right to take up paid or unpaid employment or to reside, or to study (including student exchange program) or to establish yourself in business in Turkey.

If one wants to stay longer than 90 days then just get a RP for 3 months, works out a lot cheaper then a plane ticket out of the Country and back again and doesnt effect your residence in the UK.
You become a non resident of the UK if your visits to the UK do not average 91 days or more a tax year over a maximum of four years.
So a person who spends more than 91 days in a tax year in the UK is still resident of the UK.

I am beginning to think that you could be quite right on this scunner.
Did anybody take you up on your bet?
