Hi...This topic has been covered but i just came across it and havent been on the forum for a while.Regarding the residency ,iv just been with a friend who went through Koray Atak and the service was impecable.it was 200 lira service fee each person but HASSLE FREE.Sometimes regardless of cost especially in the summer heat its better for some people to use someone else to do the leg work regarding official documentation.There are quotes flying all over the place and people need to go with a recommendation sometimes and i would highly recomend koray regardless off fee.But also,big surprise!We got our residence back with passports and blue residence book all after one day.....yes...one day....its getting easier alot easier.This used to take 6 to 8 weeks and you had no passport......not all will be given that quick but what progress....im impressed.
