I do not understand why are the xpats not worried about Ikamet by cdw057
I posted a bit in the topic before, very few reactions, nobody seems to worry (I think this is or not good or all of the expats are millioinaires, for us what we have is in Turkey, it is all, we savings, property all. If we were to be refused it is ...
Hiya,I've noticed a few people complaining of how much money they have lost due to their Ikametapplication being refused, so I thought I would point out that any fees you have paid for the actual application (i.e. not agents fees, or notary, ... Read More

Hello there,the Ikamet of our kids is about to expire next week. We don't want to extent it due to needing all the documents again according to our göc idaresi. That's a pain for us and we planned to pay the fine when we leave the country in ...

Power outage by Fedy23
Hi all, Hope you're all well.Since this morning at around 10:30am, we are experiencing a power outage in the Lara area. Any idea what's happening or how to find out ? Is this normal? Many thanks
@Fedy23 Yes, completely normal, usually related to new buildings or sites being connected to the grid........unless someone has cut through the main electrical cable for the whole area, which is what happened once to us. Took them 24 hours to sort ... Read More
Shopping online by Fedy23
Hello, I'm having a problem with placing an order online from Şok. Everytime I try to place the order, it says something went wrong. Any idea why?
@Fedy23 I have discovered that if you try to shop on a site that has been translated, this error occurs.I get around it by viewing the page whilst translated then change to Turkish before clicking add to basket then changing back to English to ... Read More

Getting Family RP by umerfarooq1
I'm a brit living in turkey. I want to bring my wife over from morocco. We don't have an official marriage certificate. we have just had an islamic marriage done. Is it possible to apply for family RP with this? or do we need to have an official ...
@umerfarooq1 The previous post is correct, you will need to perform a civil marriage ceremony somewhere in the world, then have the marriage ceremony apostilled in the country where the marriage certificate was issued.I am not sure if the countries ... Read More
How long does a visa run last by eddie2806
Hi everyone, I lived in Turkey for 2 years and my ikamet has expired. I dont own a property, so I can't do an extension based on tapu.I was said that I will be rejected for Ikamet extension, since I'm no longer a tourist, even tho I have a yearly ...

Ikamet extention Alanya by cdw057
Quite some worries on Ikamet, having said that Erdogan seems to be much interested in EU. We are Dutch, we live permanently here (Alanya/Mahmutlar). Lets see what happens, but even for owners of properties sometimes Ikamet seems to be declined (many ...
@cdw057 One important factor which the agents seem to be overlooking is that your health insurance has to be valid till the past the date your Ikamet expires. I've ended up with 3 years insurance in order to meet this criteria. As it happens, ... Read More

restaurants in Alanya by cdw057
I do not understand that there are no Indian (or for that matter Chinese/Mexican.Thai) restaurants in Alanya. We miss that, but in high season there will be quite some interest (in any case from us) (even if permanent residents),Bottom line, good, ...
I was also initially surprised at the lack of Pakistani/Indian or Chinese restaurants but having now been here for a while, I can see that there is very little demand for these cuisines from the residents in Alanya and just catering for tourists ... Read More
