Residency Permit Application Assistance

But the locals are doing well out of it are they not.may be they should be in the good shop bad shop section. Kori at ATAK now charges 200 lira,so who is now recommending him??? Carol and Tayfun have jumped on the bandwagon, guess their  advertised fee. £75.00 per head.I guess we should all laugh at them if it wasn't so obvious that they will all rip you off given the chance If you are going to live here and want to learn,start doing these functions for your self.I admit it was more difficult five years ago,but not any more!

Many of us here would always reccomend Koray at Atak, whatever his costs, simply because we know him and his wife Gunes to be probably the most helpful, quick, honest and decent Turks to deal with when it comes to wanting anything official completed.

Why is everything considered good or bad based entirely on price for some over there??!!

Well they have jumped off pretty quick.Despite a half page advert in this week's LOL when my wife enquired today she was told they are no longer doing residency permits as the visa situation has changed.

Because Scunner,just about every local in business (excepting trusted friends do the same to us!Fethye/Calis, has been like treasure trove with trusting brits believing their quotes and prices.If the average working guy over here gets 1000 lira a month where does logic tell you 150lira for walking anyone around town with a piece of paper warrant a £75 fee or even a 200lira fee or even a 150 lira fee.It is not required that you be a registered translator or any other worked for qualification.I would suggest that 50 lira is about fair.

Hi folks

I did the Residency roundabout yesterday with a very good Turkish friend in Fethiye. Do we have to do the whole thing again next year when it expires or is there a simplified system for renewals ?

[BM06]

In answer to your two questions,yes I am afraid you will have to do it all again next year and no there is no simple way, but look on the bright side, you will not have to pay for the little blue folder/book good luck:D

We have just recently obtained our residents visa,after a 3 week wait. Our input was only a half day, even though we had to visit Uzumlu.

We stopped several times for refreshments. On the whole it was a very pleasant day, no hassle thanks to Ilknur, who did all the hard work.

We would recommend to anyone that requires a residents visa to contact Ilknur first, as she knows exactly what to do to make what could be a stressful day into a pleasant experience.

Ilknur's charge for the service is excellent value.

Thanks again Ilknur

just got my residency and passport back yesterday,after 18 days,might have got it earlier,
but been in antalya,done the rounds by ourselves,between 11am&500am,first time residency.
so if you havnt much cash to part with, to pay someone else, give it a try.

We at the Aegean Independent are in the process of setting up an agency that will among other things, involve helping foreign people obtain residency permits. The cost will be 75TL per person or for a couple 100TL for both. Anyone who is thinking of getting their residency feel free to contact us.
By the way we have moved our office to new premises on the Ölüdeniz Road in Fethiye, opposite the cemetery and from next week on will be open all day every day. You are welcome to call for a copy of the latest paper or just for a coffee.
Sorry Scunner if this looks like an advert but we think it will benefit a lot of people in the area..
