With respect to all,it has nothing to do with property,or residency,or Visa residents.It was requested by the government. They want to know details of account holders and have requested of the banks to provide this info as a first stage.I believe you will find it is in support of recent changes in goverment legislation to crack down on the black economy.This applies to everyone whether Turkish or Yabanci!Both the Banker and Baz have given all sensible answers,so why not follow them,Whats the problem?
