Changing law on foreigners' buying property is not that easy. Only Grand National Assembly or Constitution Court may involve about changing a law.

If a country allows Turkish citizens to buy property, Turkey must give same rights to the citizens of that country. Procedure may differ from country to country, this is related with reciprocity between Turkey and that country.

Already heard that you need residency to sell your car, even if you didn't need one when you bought it. But it seems a bit dumb to need an RP to sell your house. What if you are selling up and going back to UK, Germany where ever, what would be the point of residency. Oooops I think another shot in the foot by the powers that be, are they SO desperate for the revenue from RP's? If they are looking for a mass exodus by expats they are well on the way to success.

Post by: BM06 on August 29, 2010, 13:52:13 PM: So Max, what you are saying is that every Tourist property owner has to become a resident to sell there property, even though they are clearly not a resident, so where is the logic in that?

Post by: col on August 29, 2010, 14:30:07 PM: This being Turkey, it seems 'logic' does not really count for much.

There is NO need or requirement to hold or obtain residency in order to sell your property in Turkey. I have no idea why your friend was told that Tom. Whoever advised her of that caused her unnecessary expense. She might want to ask for it back.

Post by: mrkeith on August 30, 2010, 11:26:13 AM: Maybe they kindly helped them get their RP for a small fee.

Post by: maximumtom on August 30, 2010, 14:15:49 PM: Perhaps it is something to do with shipping out household goods. I have read that you needed a residence visa to ship in your household goods, but cannot find anything on shipping them back out. Anyone any ideas ?

I would have thought most people sell fully furnished anyway.

Post by: maximumtom on August 30, 2010, 16:20:32 PM: I have talked to my friend again and it is for shipping out her furniture that she needs the residence visa. My apologies to anyone whom I might have caused undue stress.
