Residency Permit Application Assistance

[Mrs Hyacinth Bouquet]

Ooooerrr.....I hope I don't rattle anybody's cage here but I've been reading through and I'm still confused.
Now I have arranged an apartment to rent and have it on a retainer for the months I'm not there so I can extend into next year, I need to know if I can in fact have a Residency Permit.
I'm not buying in Turkey, (well, not yet) I'm not drawing my pension yet because I don't need to. I don't have property out there so all I have to show to the authorities are a couple of very healthy bank accounts. Will this suffice and if so, how much does it cost to get a 2 year residency.....supposing that I'll be allowed?
Many thanks in advance for any help.

You can have a maximum of three years residency if you rent your property.

Below is a link to a site showing exactly what you will require for residency:

The cost of the blue book (Residency Book) is now 198 tl but this can be used for up to 4 terms of residency.

You don't have to use the services of a "fixer" however, we found it was money well spent - no running around or stress.

Hi Marrgie....it's not my property though! 

[Mrs Hyacinth Bouquet]

......or even one R and two Gs.....so sorry!!

If you have a tenancy agreement for the period you wish to take up residency, that will be sufficient

[Mrs Hyacinth Bouquet]

Thank you so much. I'll speak to the lady concerned. I'm sure she will be okay with it but one thing is for SURE.....I will NOT leave my passport anywhere but in my keeping in Turkey! No way!!  The very thought gives me the shivers!

Every single person who has taken out residency has had to leave their passport with the Passport Police.  In the Fethiye area at this time of year your permit should be back within a fortnight.

To give peace of mind, take a photcopy of your passport.

Tenancy agreement forms are available in almost every stationers in Fethiye, mine cost 50ks!

[Mrs Hyacinth Bouquet]

Supacabby, I'm in the UK and so is the lady I'm renting from. I'm 100% certain she's well clued up. It'sjust this leaving of my Passport I'm not happy about!
