Title: applying for residency
Post by: joyceyd on August 18, 2014, 21:53:13 PM: Relocating to Calis in October and although my fiance is Turkish we would still appreciate any advice on applying for residency, cost, insurance companies etc. I have a pre-existing medical condition and am concerned that my medical insurance may be more expensive or difficult to obtain because of this....anyone else been in this situation? Please share your advice/knowledge. Thnx :)

Think there's been too many peeps jumping on the 'green card' band wagon. Anyway it seems that no insurance will cover me for my pre-existing condition..feeling a lot concerned over this new development as my treatment is an ongoing affair! :o :(

I can recommend his services. He helped us quite a lot with translations and is a really nice guy.
We always call in and I buy things from Lynda her stuff is lovely.
I see Brits in there all the time speaking to Yakup about residency.

It hasn't been in Fethiye. They have brought it in now because they do not keep/send away your actual passport now. So the copy must be notorised.
