Residency Permit Application Assistance

[Scunner]

They call this progress and they are right. I remember having to go to the police station TWICE on the same day for the same application. As if that wasn't bizarre enough, the same woman signed the same form on both occasions - leaving me wondering why the first signature was needed at all. But back then you could get a cooked chicken at the roadside for 2.5 lira.

Lol thanks for clearing that up Dutchie, chickens now 8 TL down here cooked!

2.5 lira and you got it wrapped in one of those lovely flat breads which were just given free - by the time you got home the flavours of the hot chicken had all seeped into the bread - heaven. Now where were we, ah yes...residency

I guess the 150 TL you refer to was for 2 people.  Ilknur has just charged me 75 TL. Or perhaps it's just the way I smile

We are about to start our residency renewal. Has anyone done this in the last week or two and can give us the info we need. It seems to change all the time and what is the waiting time now for return. Thanks.

Today at Passport Police Office in Fethiye ..... my friends were instructed that their Tapu was too old to be accepted and they had to get either a new copy of the original or a printed/stamped update from Tapu office. Rationale seems to be that the house could have been sold in the intervening years and a photocopy retained.
We got it sorted, we think, and will try again next week.

Friends had 18 days left on Tourist Visa and were instructed that if they insisted on doing the Residency application today then the Residency would be backdated until the date that the tourist visa was issued ..... in this case, mid April.
We decided just to go back next week, of course.

These changes in procedure are new to me.

Please can someone tell me what colour background on the photo's is required for the residency permit.

It has to be a white background sus, and they have to be slightly larger than passport ones, plenty of photo shops in Fethiye will do them for you.
