And everyones situation differs from the amount of time they spend here and may be effected finanically with these new rules!

Nothing in the new rules(assuming what we know is correct) will stop home owners from staying a few months a year and coming and going within their limits. They have based this on 360 days (one year give or take a day or two). 180 days is 6 months and in those two periods you can stay a maximum of 90 days per period (90x2 = 180 days = 6 months).

I agree it might cause a problem for those who want to stay for say May June July and August as this would mean they would have to leave the country sometime in July or early August as they would have used up their 90 days. If the rules are as we think they would not be allowed back until their 180 days have passed which would be October sometime.

In my view a better method would have been to have each year as a stand alone 365 days and no matter when you first arrive you have a maximum of 180 days before you have to leave - but it must be before the end of that calendar year.

That's rich for someone who thinks this is all the result of 'Efes chit chat'

Wake up and smell the coffee - you will need to get residency if you want to stay longer than 90 days in 180.

oh - and this is how to reply using the quote system

Sounds like a plan. I take it you could then just go on the boat trip to renew after your 90 days are up? Am I right in thinking you can get a 5 year multiple entry visa? Cost?

I agree with Stoop-having each year stand alone and choose when to use your 180 days would be much more flexible. Some people prefer to use their holiday time in the summer months and some in the winter months. We are retired and live in Turkey for half the year - preferably in the winter/spring/autumn. People like us are contributing to the local economy when there aren't any tourists. I don't see why we should have to pay out for residency when we are only there for half the year - I know you can apply for 6 months residency but the red tape and paperwork looks horrendous and who would want to have to do that every 6 months?

Maybe because Carole & Tayfun are no longer doing the runs so no competition = higher price or are they just trying to get as much as possible in revenue before the runs end in October if this new law is in force.

I met someone a few years ago who had one of those, a year one I think, when he arrived at Dalaman airport proudly displaying his passport with his new visa the pasport official there told him it was not valid and insisted that he buy a 90 day tourist visa.
So if you were looking at this option I would do some research before parting with my cash.
