Sterling = £2 or 2%; whichever is the greater.


Lira = £2/2% plus 2.75 foreign currency loading = £4.75 minimum.

Kayakebab, that saddens me, you have always been the most down to earth and positive person about moving to Calis. I know how much it means to you.
Thank you Lottie for those kind words.
I'm back in love with it all and feeling positive.
I've spent hours reading up on it all and asked so many questions to educated Turkish friends, one in particular whose house is like a library and he has studied every bit of Turkish history.
He told me to stay where I am and told me that Turkey will emerge better than before from this.
Im safer than in London or Brighton where we are both from, he assures me.
Ive learned loads of new Turkish vocab the last few days  :)
Thank you. You know what I' m like. Everything is set up and then this. Act in haste..repent at leisure.

So a couple of questions please.
Money?? Not to send to a Turkish account???, Do we leave £ in UK, what and draw out at a cashpoint? Isnt that going to be expensive..or is it cheaper in the long run?
Which bank to open an account with?
Residency runs out Feb, when do we start process?

I got 4.25 from Seker Bank on the morning of the referendum so it still has a bit to go tomorrow to be at pre-Brexit levels.

I checked my bank statement and I got a rate of 4.225 on the morning of the referendum. So £ is still 6% down but, if you are changing for TL, but it is better than the 12% down at the start of the week.
