Resident Permit (version 686 re-revised)

[Dippey]

You are very welcome Steve'n'sue. I begrudge all those people who charge for this. I have amended the prices for Year 1 and 2, I have no idea about the other years (you would of thought the tax office would know, LOL). I have also amended the "roundabout with traffic lights" as there are so many now .

Hi
I am applying for a residency visa but my 3 month visa expires next month.
Does anyone know whether or not I will have to renew my 3 month visa for now.
Thanks

Depends when you intend applying.

If you've actually started the process, then no, you don't have to get a tourist visa.

Anyone any idea of how this works in Antalya province

I was going to do it last month but the miserable policeman at harbour said you still have 2 months left on your visa - come back next month.
I think i will follow this guide and do it next week !!

ps. i don't have transport, but if anyone does and wants to do this next week i'd be more than happy to share the fuel costs and go together!!!

The rules have been amended (again!) recently - you can only apply for a residence permit during the last seven days of your tourist visa's validity.

Unless you fast track, a visa application normally takes longer than 7 days....How do you get round not actually having a Tourist or Residence visa for some time?  You are virtually trapped in the country.

[JohnF]

3 days in Istanbul and, I suspect, similar if you go directly to the Emniyet Müdürlügü in Mugla.  The delays arise when you go to local offices who have to send the paperwork elsewhere, in the case of Fethiye, to Mugla.

I applied for mine yesterday - no mention of the 7 day rule (i've got 3 weeks left)
I followed the guide from Fethiye times (updated version 2007) I know it's on here but i wanted the photos!!
A few small changes from the guide as per below.....
Step 1 - The visa (Vize) desk is now on the ground floor across from the payment desk.
Step 2 - I live in Deliktas but i still had to have my form signed at Gunlukbasi.
Step 3 - No change.
Step 4 - No change.
Step 5 - Fee is 75ytl (i think this is a typo as front page says 75)
Step 6 - No change.
Step 7 - After you've filled in your last form, they now send you across the road to Kaptan Denizcilik to get 2 computer-printed copies of it - cost 10ytl.

Also top Police guy at Fethiye police station made us wait while he went to see someone about changing the system of running around getting signatures. When he came back he said "sorry for making you wait but it will save everyone time in the future" - Sounds good if it happens...

Have just renewed our residency permit using Dippy's instructions.  Thank you Dippy. Found it quite easy - just a lot of footwork.
At Fethiye police station you no longer have to go to room 16 the officer inside the little hatch stamps and signs your form for you.
One less flight of stairs to climb.
