Holiday Let New Controls

And I can't see any info relating to it on that link.

They don't need to know if you rent - but if you don't declare it and (say) your neighbours complain about rowdy guests in your place, your failure to declare will be charged at 5,000 TL per day.

If you don't rent out ever, and use your own property for your own immediate family use only, you don't need to do all this.

I didn't post a link about this

I believe the program and forms are all in Turkish only, and rental is deemed as commercial - so you'll need a local accountant to fill in the form - and if the system is down they need to be printed and delivered by hand to the local police station. Another important point is that it relates to people staying overnight, and I think you need to report in 'real time' - so your report must be submitted between midnight and 2am - each night of occupation - so you won't be getting a good night's kip while you are renting. Oh, and if you rent but there is nobody renting, you have to provide daily reports for the empty nights too.

(Much info provided by Cenk at www.interturk.co.uk )

Good luck with the new regs

That's the link. I can't find any info on the new regs.

I didn't say there was any info there. I said I got the info from Cenk at Interturk

Confused ..Nothing is simple in Turkey

I think as it stands (and I bet it will change) that if you rent out or let friends and family stay (even if you are not charging them) you need to notify the authorities whether it be online or in person but if you are the owner you don't need to notify.
for me a some of questions need to be clarified

1) if guests are staying with the owner does the owner still need to register the guests
2) will the owner need to have there Tapu with them when staying (I leave mine in the UK)
3) will notification have to be done on a daily, weekly or length of stay basis

I am sure there will be more questions over the next few months but these have come to mind
I can understand why this is being done but as a lot of things that are required the implementation and the interpretation can be so different from office to office

Fethiye times has updated advice about this. From what is said in the article, the software needed for this is free after registering at the Gendarme headquarters, for Fethiye,in 2nd Karagozler. You need to take originals and copies of Turkish ID card, or passport and residency. You also need a paper confirming the address of the property, this can be obtained from your local mukhtar or the Nufus office in Fethiye.
Article states you will be shown how to use the software and that it is not complicated!

Two things strike me:


1. The software is free but no mention of other languages.

2. It seems the owner has to be in the country to set it up as the original passport is required.

So what happens if the owner is not the first person in the property this year?

1. The software is free but no mention of other languages.

They're under no obligation to provide it in anything other than Turkish, and you could ask why should they?

2. It seems the owner has to be in the country to set it up as the original passport is required.

Given that this new regulation is part of a security crack down (and tax revenue earning initiative) that comes across as entirely reasonable to me.
