Had a villa built in Uzumlu and after teaching for many years retired last year. Plan to spend 6-7 months a year but at the moment don't know what we're up to until we get this residency sorted. Joined the CBF 2 years ago but never found enough time to use it. During the past few weeks have found the CBF very interesting and extremely helpful. I've gained more information on here than I have from the Turkish Consulate so thankyou.
