Post by: pads on February 18, 2013, 10:08:02 AM: Hi Everyone
My husband Pete and I are moving to Fethiye on March 4th after many years of holidaying in Fethiye and other parts of Turkey. We are planning to apply for a residents visa and understand that it can be a nightmare to go through all the procedures.Could anyone recommend someone who could guide us through it and give us some idea of the cost.We would appreciate any advise that anyone could give us and look forwards to meeting new friends.Paddy and Pete.

She is a lovely lovely English lady who has lived here for 20+ years, speaks fluent Turkish and knows all the procedures. I always go to her, she also did my Turkish driving license - she is super and does not charge very much / overcharge.
