Anyone heard about Residence Permit fees increases

[lindacarl]

Hi All
Has anyone heard about large increases in the fees for Residence.

Dave (our friend) came back Today & he told us that he was told by a number of people that within 2 months the fees were going up considerably for UK residents.

Anyone in the know?

No- they have been at that level for a while.
He heard they are to increase massively in 2 months.
Please has anyone heard this & do you know details?

A friends of ours said it had increased from £78 to something like £700-£800, he had missed out by a few days. I can't remember exact figures. Seems a bit of a hefty rise! Ty

Hi All!
I have just had confirmation from the British Embassy, Turkey that the recent changes in Turkish legislation relating to the calculation of residence permit fees has resulted in huge increases. The residence permit fee for a five year permit is now
1,820,000,000TL  roughly £785.
Guess who has been caught out by this?

never mind,

Yep, we've been caught too!!

Got the photos of the finished house at Kaya Koyu on Monday. On Tuesday we were told that our house sale could be delayed by another 3 weeks!

Hi,

Excuse my ignorance but what is this fee for? I have recently purchased a property (off plan) which is due for completion early next year.  I intend on using it as a holiday home only.
Will I have to pay this fee or is it for permanent residence only?

it's for residence only Glen

Hence the big give-away in its name "Residence Fee".

Still, at about 44 pence a day it is not a bad deal.
