"It has emerged that this limitation for new applicants has always existed in law, but has never been enforced."
Not moving goalposts, just enforcing the law.
-
Perhaps the biggest change here is that people renting a property will only be able to get a residency visa for one year at a time, rather than the current three years.

Quote; "Again, this has existed in law but never applied until now."

Eric do pardon me for not wording it to your liking, I can read and in my opinion they have moved the goalposts.
-
No offence taken ;)
-
up here people can get residence PERMITS for upto 5 years doesnt matter if they have a lease, deed or what ever as none are requested.

The problem seems to be different areas doing their own thing as regards this. I got a 2 year one a few months back on a rental agreement but wifey is due back from UK next week after being there for 6 months. We intend to get her residency once back but i think we can only get 14-15 months as passport runs out sometime in 2013 so i'll report back once we apply.
It may also be a ploy to whack up the visa costs in the next year or so too?
I know a few people in the Fethiye area currently going for residency so will see what happens there too.

As Starman says the criteria varies from region to region. The article in Voices referred to Didum and Kuşadası - are they in Muğla region?

I posted this link on my FB wall and Lynda, whose husband Yakup (located in Hippy Chick opposite the Mulberry Tree) deals with Resident Permit applications has posted the following information.
"I think we have a classic case of 'regional discrepancies here' Yakup went to the Passport police this week to enquire about this and they said 'forget it'. He has also applied for several 1st time residencies (rentals) and they haven't restricted them.
Also I notice that this article doesn't list the Muhtar registration paper (for 1st timers) Or the Population Department registration paper (for extensions) both of these are required in Fethiye. Kim biliyor"!
and
"Further update. In Fethiye, they say this rule is for Russians and non EU citizens".
Looks like its business as usual in Fethiye :)

This is the way it has always been in Antalya region.
Maximum 1 year for first application, maximum 3 years for second application and maximum 5 years for third application.

Istanbul you need,
passport (A group country)
e-rendezvous appointment
5 photos
application form
dilekci
Turkish bank account statement or foreign exchange receipt to show 300 USD per month of residential stay (ie show 3600 USD or equivalant to get a 12 month permit)
A group citizens can apply for up to 5 years (depending on validity of passport) on 1st, 2nd or 27th application
No deed requested no rental agreement and no muhtar stuff (foreigners here dont know what they are)
Only downside is if you wanted to apply for an RP now, you wont get an appointment till earliest November.

I am going to slap my hands now for this, Starman, do you think it is a case of persons not knowing the difference between residency permits and residency visas, maybe this is where much of the confusion lies?
3 years now since ours expired and I have not a clue which one we had, probably did the day we handed the money over so I am no help at all.
