Hi Firo, I am a new member on the forum and noticed your post about the fast track residence permitin June.
My husband and I are moving to Uzumlu in March 08 and are looking to get our residency sorted out quickly as we are shipping a container from the UK.
Could you email me contact details for the person you used, he seemed to have provided a good service.
Many thanks

Hi there
Already tried that but we are new members to the forum and not able to e-mail other members through their profile yet. Could you possibly e-mail us.
Many thanks

Do visa and passport have to be signed for, or does it just come back via normal post, as from what we heard from the post office, we wont have a postman until January,in this part of Calis anyway. Alan
-
Hi Alan,
The guy at the Consulate Office phones you and lets you know that you can go over and collect new passports :)
-
Hi Keith, it's not a new passport, still got 10yrs on it, it was sent off with residance visa forms, just wondering how they sent them back, with us having no postman. Alan
-
Ah, I don't know, I took mine to Mugla.
Can't you apply for the vacancy - you are a postman of some note ;)

When i went looking for our mail, i actually saw some of them sorting, it took one of them about 15secs to sort i letter out, and no wonder they can ride around on a motor-bike, the amount of mail they have to deliver, they have about a third of what i used to take out of the office, and i had had another 5 to pick up as i delivered,, the amount that was waiting at the side of the wall for Calis, was what had to be delivered in a day, + magazines and leaflets, that is definitely not another job for me at my time of life, thank you.

Hi Alan having just renewed our residency we were told by passport police Fethiye to check back there in 5/6 weeks thats where your passport and permit will be returned to.
-
5-6 weeks?? The longest I have ever known it to take was 20 days and that was because of an amnesty for Bulgarians as a few 100 thousand turned up to hand their papers in.
-
I was also told to return in 6 weeks for my passport.
-
and us. It took 5 weeks.
-
someone told me that it can take 6 weeks
-
Istanbul: paperwork in on a Wednesday afternoon, Ikamet ready on the Monday morning (with a bit of help from Starman's glamorous assistant).
If you go to Mugla (instead of doing it locally) then there is no reason why it cant be done in 3/4 days as well.

the latest rumour is that you now have to apply in fethiye and going to mugla for a quickie has been stopped!
-
The rules on this seem to vary month to month

Fi.

Does someone know the cost for a 5 year residency permit. I heard its expensive, so I was wondering if it would make sense to apply for a 1 year permit from the turkish consulate in London and hope that the cost of the 5 year permit will come down in price during the next 12 months as I believe there is a campaign underway to try and get the Turkish authorities to reduce the fee.
-
Dont bother. Even if you waste the money of getting a 12 month visa, you still have to go to the emniyet to get your residence permit within 30 days of arriving in Turkey so the waiting 12 months thing will not work.
The Turkish authorities will not reduce the price untill the UK does likewise for the Turks. At the moment the Italians and Germans have it good but its the Dutch that pay 50% more then the Brits.
-
'The Turkish authorities will not reduce the price until the UK does likewise for the Turks.'
I just checked the Home Office website. Turkish nationals have different, better and easier options for UK residence than most other non EU, EAA and Commonwealth countries.
For most categories, there is no fee. On those where it did not explicitly say no fee, there is simply no mention of a fee.
