Residency Visa Cost

[sominekebap]

Bear in mind that any Residency renewal or application can only be extended or granted for the life of your UK Passport minus 6 months. Therefore, if you have a passport that expires in 1 year, your residency can only be granted for 6 months.

Not quite correct. You can have residence up to the expiry date of your passport.

This came from experience. Last month we took a customer to renew and also enquire about getting Citizenship. They managed to renew for 1 year and only had 14 months to run on their passport. Consequently they were told they could only have a 6 month because of the validity of their passport.

We process dozens of residencies PER DAY. Maybe around 50 to 70 per week. I know for fact that it goes right to the expiry date from this.

2 months ago, it cost me i think, 490.4ytl for the year at the tax office, 20ytl at the Muhtars, 10ytl i think for the computer written forms that the marina police give you when you think you have got everything, but you don't have far to travel for that, it's about 40yds down from where they give you the forms, but make sure you get there about 11-00 or you will have to hang around, 75+3.5ytl at the post office and all the photocopies cost approx. 15ytl, it is cheaper to go to Meis and get your duty free at the same time as have a nice day out, but you need residency for certain things that you can't get with a 3mth visa.

Hi Alan,

I know you need the permit to get a phone line and if you plan to get a work permit but what else do you need it for?

Is it true that if you have residency you get cheaper health costs in hospitals etc?

Short answer, NO, you pay the same residency or not
