we understood the higher price of 245 TL gave a pension in 15 years time
the lower price of 183 tl covered both husband & wife, we are waiting for ours to come back so we will see

No chance got better things to do with my time. I shall enquire as to the difference between the two prices. If it proves there are 2 prices for Bagkur I shall insist on the reduced rate and a refund. Watch this space for the outcome.

I understand that the pension part is attached to SSK which is what the working Turkish pay, a bit like Uk's Income Tax and Nat Insurance contributions you pay through your wages. So we won't be getting a pension from our Bagkur payments.

My understanding is that SGK is 183Tl and doesn't give us a pension.  Questions still exist (with us) as to whether it covers us for 'free' treatment at Devlet (and paying a top-up for treatment at Esnaf), which (I hope) we clarify when we go back to Vakif Bank to register me in about 3 weeks, once my husband's registration is established.  Too many different stories circulating, need to settle things.

I submitted the form last week and was informed by the guy down there that once the fee had been paid at the bank I had to wait for a month then I could go into hospital,obviously thought I was in need of attention. :).

OK, this is new news.  It seems if you have Residence Permit you can register for the same healthcare as the Turks, with NO monthly payment.  I am not sure where you will need to go and wonder if you will need to register at the Devlet.  It seems this will render any discussion on SGK or SSK redundant.  As I say, this is new news and I hope someone will be able to fill out the details for you.

Is that free treatment just at the local clinic or does it include the State Hospital too?
We know that our Turkish teacher and her hubby pay to get State hospital treatment,about 190tl per month, so even the Turks don't get it for free...
More confusion I think...[?]
