visa

Just to clear up the point about the Irish passport. This could equally apply to those from Northern Ireland as under the Irish constitution anyone in Northern Ireland has the right to an Irish passport.Equally anyone from the UK who has an Irish parent can also qualify for an Irish passport as they are entitled to dual nationality. Before anyone goes off on one you may hold an Irish passport or a UK passport but not both. So you cannot have 180 days on each passport.

My partner and i have lived here for two years.The first year we had residency the past year we have done visa runs.On our first year i went to a turkcell shop to buy a 5tl sim card,i was told they needed my passport.I only had a copy of it on me which they wouldn't accept so i showed my residency book to be told no thats no good we need your passport.
As i know you need residency to buy a car what is the point of spending all that money if i couldn't use it to buy a 5tl sim card

So does anybody know the correct price for residency ,because we are being given different prices everywhere ?

Kim, its 40 pound for the 1st month and 30 pound for every month you apply for after that, plus 138ytl for a little blue book (worth about 3 pence) according to the UK embassy web site,residency fees for 2010.

Have just been told I cannot apply for a Residency Visa until two weeks before the existing tourist visa expires but that the Visa and passport will be back in 3-4 weeks time which means we cannot leave the country and has bu**erd up flights which had been booked to replace non existant KTHY Flights. I am 99% sure when we took out our original residency we started the process as soon as we arrived on a tourist visa and did not have to wait until two weeks before it expired.

Perhaps it is to stop a rush of applicants all at once - could this be forward thinking?

Have to say not impressed with the British Embassy remarks - thought they were in place to help us foreigners receive correct information:

You're right Brian.  When we moved here we also applied for residency straight away, we didn't have to wait till the last 2 weeks of the tourist visa.  What a pain in the a** about your flights:(

They can only report on the information they have received from the Turkish authorities. Would you rather they said nothing at all?

Obviously they have to put the disclaimer on otherwise they would leave themselves wide open to the UK blame and claim culture.
