Latest update for my situation.  The 120 day rule article quoted on Yelali is probably not correct. It would be helpful if there was something in writing Yelali could direct us to as an official document.  The harbour police today phoned Migration department for confirmation as I asked if it was implemented in April just for new permits. The 120 day rule applies to all previous permits bought before April 2014 also. :(

Thank you for updating Hellzbellz, it's good to know although it doesn't help your situation of course.

Thanks Hellzbellz,

If this is correct this will be our last full winter in Turkey. >:( >:(  Did you visit the consul in Fethiye for advice?

It looks like 90 days here and 90 days elsewhere. I'm open to suggestions.

Hi DonM,

yes I went to the Fethiye consul for advice. Have booked to go rhodes to get evisa to give myself breathing space. Have also been told I can apply for new one with evisa which seems a bit crazy, but have to abide by the rules here

It is very much a grey area. It says "What happens if you have an existing residence permit?
If you already have a residence permit that continues beyond 10th April 2014, this will continue to be valid, because you have applied for, and paid for residency, and permission has been granted by the Turkish authorities.  You have got permission to reside in Turkey until the expiry date shown in your ikamet."  but it also says " With short term residency, if you stay out of Turkey for more than 120 days, your residency permission will be cancelled.".

Just reading and not sure whether the rule applies to 120 continuous days in any one period out of turkey or a total of 120 days out in a year,  I assume it's annually?

Our neighbours who are in the same position as us (6 month UK/6 month Turkey) paid a visit to the British consul in Fethiye. The 120 day rule is causing a lot of problems, the consul seems to think that moves are being made to resolve the complaints.

yes I have heard that but it wont be in time to help me or many others this month or next. Tomorrow I am off to Rhodes for tourist visa (assuming ferry not cancelled again like it was on Tuesday) then will re-apply for year residency again. total cost of taxi, tickets and evisa around 700TL I should not have had to spend :(
