Hi, We have had out villa in Ovacik for over 10 years now and we think this year, the time is right to spend nearly all out time in Turkey. Now that the rule has change about bringing a car to Turkey (and can leave it there for 2 years) we have decided to drive over, stopping in the different countries on the way and make an adventure of it just taking our time. We will obviously get residency but just don't know how to go about it regarding entering the country. Do we get a tourist visa and apply for residency once we are there, or apply online before we start? We would like to bring some household items with us making use of the space in the car (no electricals) but I believe you have to be a resident to do this would this apply to small items such as mirrors, coffee table stools etc. Its all so confusing we don't know where to start. We would be so grateful for any advise which way to turn to make our trip as hassle free as possible. Thanking you in anticipation.
