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...
