Thanks for your post Marggie, I believe through our previous posts that our circumstances are similar in relation to the residency permit. i.e we both spend less then half our time in Turkey and have been perplexed by various alterations/proposals for change and adapting what was to become the "NEW rules" Looking at the NEW,NEW Rules it would appear that (as stated) The permit will become invalid if NOT USED for six months. Hopefully this means that if you are entering/leaving anytime within six months there will not be a problem!!unless some understands differently?

Does anyone know if the new rules regarding 6mths out of Turkey are applicable to exsisting residency permits or only to new ones issued  after todays date.

Hi Dave, considering the new rules came into force today there are so many questions unanswered.  Luckily or unluckily, our permit is not due for renewal until the end of March 2015 by which time most of the teething troubles should be ironed out.

We are currently spending approximately eight months a year here but this could go down to six months so will just have to wait and see how things pan out.

The new rules regarding six months out of Turkey only apply to the new style permits.

Yes Marggie we spend roughly five and a half months in Fethiye and although having a home there over the last ten years you would thing that we would be used to the  changes, but the lack of clarity beggar's belief.

Kevin, If things are as they quoted last year when this first raised its head, yes you will have apply in the UK.  Think you should hold fire until things become clearer but having said that people say it is almost impossible to get through to the Turkish Embassy by telephone and if they do appointments are way in the future.

[/quote]Is that "given" a new card or will you, as I suspect have to buy a new card?
