RESIDENCY PERMITS - 2006

[jill]

Stoop!!

Get a life.

You have been too long in country!!

cannot you see the woods for the trees.

Someone has to give the wake up calls. Even if you ignore it.

 I truly believe that you all have been complacent for so long that you do not "see the big picture"
Obviously you are not viewing the things that go on outside of the country you chose for your retirement.

As on of most favourite musicians composed:

"There are none so blind as those who will not see"

The way I see it, those who want to have their live just "bimble on" regardless,are not looking at what is going on around them.

Be prepared!!! That's all I can say

Jill = what do you see as the "big picture" please enlighten us so that we can understand the problems you seem to want to warn us against

Jill
Pray tell us what wake-up call you want to give us all? What is the 'big picture'?

It seems you were ripped off for 20K & now you think there is a plot of somekind.

I was ripped off for 25K in this country 7 years ago but I don't see that as a plot - I see it as my own stupidity & greed. Nobody forced me to give them 25K, I did it because I thought I could possibly double triple or increase it tenfold (& more) in a short time. I wasn't the only one - there were many more like me (I personally knew of at least 50 others) who were completely taken in, some for 10+ times more than I lost. A couple of those taken in were household names in the financial industry who advise others in daily newspapers & on well respected financial websites.

You have to put your loss behind you & get on with life. OK you made a mistake, perhaps you like myself & others were stupid enough to believe hype that you were given. It happens everywhere in the world but you must learn by it & not let the loss ruin your life.

'There are none so blind as those who will not see' - I suspect you really wish you'd remembered this before you parted with your money.

What a difference from one of your 1st posts on this site

Let it go Jill or let everyone benefit from your mistake by telling us exactly what happened in the hope it doen't happen to anyone else.

Get on with your life & put the bitterness behind you.

I am sorry i dont agree . Asli has helped our family above and beyond her call of duty and on occasions for nothing. This is her job she works as a translator i am sure you will find plenty of happy customers. None of our family could speak Turkish when we arrived and our turkish friend struggled to help Asli has done a great deal of good work.

Jill,

Sorry to read you bad experience. I have to tell you my experience, our friends from UK (Crawley)liked very much incirkoy (near Uzumlu)and wanted buy a large sum of land. He is a young fireman and his wife is a nurse. I indroduce them to local (Turkish)estate agent who doesn't work with foreign customers. We asked him his opinion. His clear feedback was, theye were about to pay 4 ( FOUR!!!) times more then the market price. Unfortunately they still went ahaed with this project. Their investment was 45K....  now they realized that they paid too much had only 5% building permission...

After reading your story and having my friends experience my conlusion is: I think people are becoming too blinde when they buy ( what ever you like to call, dream home, being too gready, etc etc ) propety.... they her waht they like to hear, they see what they like to see. I think sale man will allways smile.. if you don't ask the correct question.

I think my involvment in this thread must come to an end mainly because my glasses lost that "rose tint" some time ago and I now see the world for what I believe it truly is.

I leave with one final comment.

"There are none so blind as those who WILL not see"!

I agree with many users who have used Asli for translation, permits etc. But I was in Fethiye recently & used 'atak' for some issues I needed sorting out. Terrific guy, so helpful, so quick, also nothing is toooo much trouble & his English is spot on.
If anyone needs his e mail contacts, just let me know. His office is just behind Garanti bank.

Hi everyone.

Do any of you know the costs for residency permits in 2006, seeing as there is always a price increase for the new year.

I would be extending an already exisiting permit.

Thanks

Jill,

I still haven't a clue what the hell you are trying to say but if Turkey's future is so bad the why are you still there?

As for me getting a life - I have a very nice one - thanks!
