Joking apart, why take the chance? we got our marriage license translated, took our forms which we luckily picked up there to the SGK office,
when you squeezed through the door go to the right, there is a mock up of a form on the notice board showing the information you need to enter, fill your form in the take it into the managers office on the right and all done! we were there about 10 minutes

Great info,  we had to fill out one form each (same form) and
just to add, on the topline  you will see a row  of boxes where you enter your kimlik number.  We did not wait long and the lady was helpful  (despite the strain of checking everyones paper work)   She then told us we will receive health insurance card via post.  Will wait to see how much we pay/when and where to pay.

@Denise40, apparently your friend Ramazan didn't read the whole article.
This is written on page 4 about foreigners:

Ayrica gelirlerinin brüt asgari ücretin iki kati oldugu, yani bin 773 TL oldugu varsayilarak, her ay 213 TL prim borcu tahakkuk ettirilecektir.

In addition, their income will be assumed as twice the gross minimum wage, meaning 1773 TL, and a fee of 213 TL will be applied.

Chinook so you want the british government to create an agreement that is totally different to any other agreement that the UK has in place at the moment. Foreign health cover under these agreementscost the UK in excess of £1.7 billion over the past 3 years.

So what about the rest of the expats living abroad should they not be included. Let us have a free health service for everyone irrelevant of where they live  and let the UK tax payer pay for those who have decided to live in thesun. Get real because it will never happen.

When we lived there I paid for our insurance, somewhere between 700 and 900Tl per year, we never had need to use it but it was there.

How many times does it have to be said the payment of NIC has NOTHING  to do with the NHS . The NHS is free to recipients if you qualify. If a Turkish person is given permision by the Home office to reside in the UK they are entitled to the free services of the NHS. As I have said previously we should be lobbying the British Government to negotiate a reciprical agreement with Turkey as other countries have.

Sorry you are wrong that the NIC has nothing to do with the NHS.

The main areas funded by the National Insurance contributions are the NHS, unemployment benefit,sickness and disability and the state pension.

Why the hell should the British tax payer pay for us that decide to leave the UK and go and live or work abroad, I have lived abroad for twenty-four years now and do not expect the British tax payer to pick up any bill for me, even though I paid NI and tax while in the UK, once you leave you leave your rights to free NHS behind you.

You are the ones having a good life in a better climate, why should the hard working Brit support you, it is hard enough for them to support themselves and their families at the moment.

Not sure why some Brits think they rule the world and everyone should bend backwards to please them.

Stop moaning and going round like headless chickens and pay what you are supposed to, it was your choice to leave the UK and if you don't like what life is dealing you at the moment well move on.

Why the hell you are expecting everything for nothing is beyond me if you cannot afford to pay then you should not be living in Turkey you should have stayed in the UK and got everything for free.

A little harshly put perhaps, but I have to agree.
