Household goods/Residence Visa
« on: November 14, 2011, 06:37:18 AM »
Can anyone please tell me, if you get a Residence Permit/Visa but not living in Turkey full time, can you import household goods when you come to reside in Turkey, exp. if you get your Residence Permit/Visa  in July 2012 and then leave the country and  come to reside in Turkey March 2013 will there be any problem in shipping a container of household items over.

Also how long does it take to get a new car registered, can you get the car the same day you purchase it.

For a car you can certainly complete the purchase in a day (it took us 40 minutes) However if you buy a car registered to a turkish owner you have to have the number plates changed to foreign ones. You have a month to do this but someone else will have to tell you ho long this takes as my car isn't registered in Mugla (though we did the buying and selling paperwork here).

You need to speak to a company that specializes in shipping to Turkey - there are many laws - you can't be here too long in and you have to ship withing a certian time of taking up residence - whether that is just the permit or literal residence I don't know.  Also you permit has to have over a year on it when you ship so 2 years minimum.  Bonners were very helpful when I moved and I'm sure others can recommend other companies.   My choice was limtied in Wales as many people didn't want to come over the Severn Bridge to collect my stuff :-)

Hi Sus

I have sent you a PM with details of Dolphin Movers, who do have an agency handling removals from Doha to Turkey.
They were brilliant when I moved here from the UK.
Give them a try!

Hi Sus

We moved across from Doha in May.

Just 5 suitcases and the dog though, so no removal company.

Sold all the furniture as a job lot.

As i Understand it the above timings would give you problems - there are very strict rules about how long you have to import personal belongings so definitely best to get it checked out.
