Hi Inspector thank you for reply. With a 6 month residency card do you still need to take out the SGK or similar for health care its that that pushes up the cost not the actual residency price, have to take all costs into account as we will be living off just pensions next year, iv mannaged my trips this year re the 90 days only by leaving Turkey and accruing more days while in uk...
It would be just great if there could be a seperate visa for property owners where we could pay for any medical treatment if it were needed, like the good old days! I would happily pay more then the standard visa price to be able to do so and im sure there are many others in similar position...
When I leave in October I will be leaving on day 89 i was panicking a bit but then thought why am I that is what I am allowed to have!   

[Inspector]

Thanks for that.  Any idea about the six month RP and days allowed out of country?

Hello John,

Here is the LAW ON FOREIGNERS AND INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION
http://www.goc.gov.tr/files/files/YUKK_I%CC%87NGI%CC%87LI%CC%87ZCE_BASKI(1)(1).pdf

 As explained on article 33/c
c) [the foreigner] lived outside of Turkey for longer than one hundred
and twenty days in total during the preceding year;

120 days rule is for  residental stays not touristic stays

Ok, seems pretty clear cut.  Thanks for taking the time to post that link.

Sorry Karennina,
Ther is no such easy solution for six months visitors. You have to have health insurance and it can not be shorter than 1 year. :-(

Just read on Facebook the turkish gov are scrapping the 120day rule.
And bringing 2year residence permit. But waiting for confirmation.
Finger's crossed.
