Surely Not?!
« on: November 13, 2013, 13:54:32 PM »
I know nobody knows what's definitely happening and it's all up in the air and rumours fly...... but on one of the Facebook groups I'm a member of, somebody has said that when the new residency application laws come in next April, it will cost £7k a year!  :o

I'm hoping if that figure is involved, it's the amount you need to show you have to support yourself rather than an upfront cost.
If not - then I need to get my finger out and make sure we've got somewhere to live and can apply before the changes come into effect.

Did stop me in my tracks when I first read it....

Perhaps contact the Consulate? They'd know wouldn't they?

Would they?

Apparently not, at the moment.

And Keith - I know, generally, but sometimes there can be useful info on there. This was in a group I've only just joined but looking at some of the posts I'm not sure I'll be staying long! ;D

Think it will be the amount / annum you have to show you have to support yourself, as it was £5k when I applied

A bit brief in reply earlier - the sentiment stands but obviously not all FB group comments are rubbish or made by idiots. But it's amazing how one person can roll a hand grenade into the middle, then quietly exit leaving mass panic behind them.

I don't think even the Turkish Government are that stupid/greedy, they wouldn't get many takers at £7K for a one year residency permit. But then again maybe they don't want us ordinary bods..... just very rich incomers.
