  • The new rules for residence in Turkey are tough at this point. We do not meet the requirements anymore. We simply have not enough monthly income. Time to make some decisions.
    New rules are rolling out every few months. And the latest make that we no longer meet the requirements. Here they are:
    1- Only homeowners will receive a 2-year residence permit.
    Spouses whose names are not on the title deed will receive a 6-month residence permit and will make an income commitment and enter money into their accounts in Turkish lira, one and a half times the monthly minimum wage.
    2- Foreigners who rent a house will also have to extend their residence permit for 6 months and make an income commitment and receive money into their Turkish lira accounts at one and a half times the monthly minimum wage. New applications have been closed for foreigners renting.
    3- Retired foreigners will also receive a 6-month residence permit and will make an income commitment and enter money into their Turkish lira accounts at one and a half times the monthly minimum wage.
    4- This application does not affect those who are married to a Turkish citizen; there is no change in the application for family residences.
    5-This application does not affect homeowners, there is no change for them in the application. They will receive a 2-year residence permit. They are not responsible for depositing money into the bank account.
    6- If your name is listed on the title deed jointly with a friend or sibling, you cannot obtain home ownership residence. You will receive a tourist residence permit for 6 months and you will need to make an income commitment and enter money into Turkish lira accounts one and a half times the monthly minimum wage.
    7- If there is more than one name on the title deed, only the husband, wife, parents and their children can obtain homeowner's residence (This application is only carried out by the Fethiye Immigration Administration).
    8-Your title deed purchase date and its value on the date of purchase are very important. Application will be made according to the limits of the period you purchased. Having a title deed does not directly give you the right to obtain a residence permit.
    9- New application is still closed for tourism purposes, except for retirees. Retirees must bring their income from their country with apostille, and this income must be one and a half times the minimum wage.

    Lady you are living and walking in the land of Homer, Thales, Aristotle, Heraclitus, Diogenes, Santa Clause, Hector, Paris, Fatih the conqueror, Suleyman the Magnificent, Rumi, virtually all the ancients. You just walked through an amphitheater god knows what plays took place 2,000 years ago. . Beautiful weather, breath taking views, world class cuisine, world class health care, modern amenities, surrounded by seas on three sides, beautiful mountains, highlands and so on and so on and so on…Where Agamemnon landed with thousand ships for Helena. Which was once home to Sumers, Hittites, Noah if his ship landed on Ararat. Where one age ended and another started. And for all this you mock the price of a house in a village where life happened when Europe over the 30th parallel was in stone ages. Let me recommend for your next move my old hometown Souther California, where you get Mickey Mouse, some made up fictional hero characters and history, artificially manicured landscapes, an Austrian with a funny accent and a shed starting at $1,000,000. I guarantee you, whatever you paid for your house, you stole it at that price. Had Turkiye been in the EU or in the hands of the Dutch or the Germans, forget the land or the house, the view alone, the privilege to breathe the air alone would start at €1,000,000.

      I know I know. Why do you think I live here. It's more my amazement about prices elsewhere. Don't forget, when I came here 20 years ago nobody wanted to live here. No public transport a river to cross to get to a few shops with nothing more then a rowboat to do the crossing run by two ladies etc etc. I adore this place.

      @@AtHomeInTurkey I know, it is as if all of a sudden everyone discovered Turkiye and wants to move there. Real estate prices are insane, but we’ll deserved given all that comes with it. I always thought Turkiye was under selling itself. Now on your list of places, don’t write off Croatia just yet, especially northern part close to Slovenia. Just came back from holiday there. Very similar to Turkiye, rocky shoreline with spectacular views, mountains with amazing lakes, rivers, hiking trails, ancient history, towns riddled with Roman ruins everywhere. Beautiful medieval port cities and castles along the Adriatic coast sheltered by the hundreds of islands creating very pristine and calm inter coastal waterways and very calm seas to swim in. Good food, excellent wine, olive oil. The whole country is a mix between Italy and Greece, good air and proximity to other countries. My favorite is Italy is just a ferry ride away. You can even tune in to radio stations playing Turkish classical music, which took me by surprise. Then we realized Bosnia is right next door.

    I am sorry for the situation you are facing. I would be happy to have you in Turkey. Unfortunately, our government is selling the citizenship on the basis of money the foreigners invested in flats etc.Ubfortunately, thousands of people are illegally passing our borders without any legal status, money etc .On the contrary, we are losing people like you.

    Hi Ellis. Almost exactly a year ago, I changed my reason for extending Turkish residency from tourism to short term B visa based on property ownership. The cost of my Köyceğiz duplex is well below the current requirement. BUT because I bought it before April 26, 2022, the price doesn't matter. (In fact, I received my TAPU only 1 month before the deadline, whew!) Call the Immigration helpline 157 if you want to confirm this info. BTW, the clerk in Mugla immigration didn't believe me and was threatening me. Yeah, nice. I kept asking her to please call and check my info. Lucky for me her office mate did and my application was accepted.

    Ellis, my condolences,picking up and moving is so hard physically and emotionally.. I love Dalyan myself, I can relate.. but I’d highly recommend northern Greece, close to the city of Ioannina. There’s a group of mountain villages called the Zagorohoria which are charming and sparsely populated.. lots of hiking and lots of sunshine,and not far from the sea. These villages are especially beautiful and have gorgeous stone houses, but they became depopulated in the 60s and now just have a few bed and breakfasts and restaurants.but Ioannina has everything..There are also some quiet spots on the Greek islands, like Tilos, but they are really dead in winter..I myself spend a lot of time in Turkiye,especially near Urfa and Mardin, but these days I prefer Ioannina.. if you are interested we can talk about it..

    Sorry you have to leave; we had to deal with a similar situation. We also found that some officials can be reasonable; we found the landlord for the past year had falsified information on the rental contract and my husband could have been deported according to a new law. Just calmly explaining the situation, the agent took no adverse action and granted extra time to find a new apartment. But new and oft-changing laws are maddening to keep track of. Good luck with your future plans and travel.

Huizen aan de kust zijn duur maar niet in het binnenland. Ik heb samen met iemand een huis gekocht van 270 m2 voor met alle kosten inbegrepen 50.000. Het moet wel gerestaureerd worden en dat kost nog eens zoveel maar dat hoef je niet allemaal tegelijk te doen. Je kunt mij een email sturen als je meer info wil.

A banker once told me they don't look at your out goings only your incomings its a round robin that works very well in the business world and this is purely business on there part. As long as they see you being paid they dont care where it comes from they just see numbers so give them the numbers???

    Sorry to hear that you still have to leave. I can only imagine how hard it must be for you to uproot from somewhere you have built your life for so many years.
    Regarding the rules above, for #1, as far as you know, whether the rules is only applied in Fethiye or Mugla, or it's something across the nation?
    Also, can the income commitment for spouse be replaced by a bank balance in Turkey? For example, assuming the monthly minimum wage is 20k TL, if there is already 20*1.5*24=720k TL worth of USD balance in a Turkish bank, will they be giving 2 year residence, or they still need extra monthly inflow to the bank? We have similar residence permit renewal situation coming up next year, but in a different province.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry to hear about your struggles. There aren't many places in the world that are not experiencing change to laws around migration and housing. I live in Australia and the house prices are now 700,000 for something small and mediocre. It's ridiculous. Unlike Turkey and the view you just showed us, we dont have that kind of history where what you are walking on is left over from one empire to another empire. Turkey is a special place and it was always affordable to Europeans, especially. Post covid-19, the world isnt the same and the wealthy cohorts seem to have unfair privileges where they can pay big and get what they want. The endless wars in the Middle East have also led to a real issues in Turkey with respect to migration and I've read news that most of Turkey's opposition parties use the Syiran refugee card against the current government. Right wing politics seems to be everywhere at the moment and these sentiments only increase tensions and put pressure on migration, especially buying property 'as an outisder'. Here in Australia, wealthy Chinese and Indian migrants make the bulk of migration numbers and the opposition party here too is now using migration as a polticial tool to win the next election by proposing to reduce migration. Basically, migration is being portrayed as a negative across populations which is unfortunate. It seems to be world wide and if Trump wins, such laws in other countries will also tighten. I wish you and all the rest of us the best

    As a Turk, I am with you but my guess is that Turkish state finally gave up trying to deal nicely with EU, US and UK. In the last 2-3 years what they did to Turks was unbelivable. Millions of Turks harrassed by these states, no visa appointments for months, you are rejected even if you collect all the silly things they asked...i saw so many students, business people, athletes frustrated by the treatment and the results, I remember a girl who was going to participate a competion in some sports and was not able to get even an appointment for 3 months. Turkish Foreign Ministry was trying to solve this strange situation and embassies were claiming different reasons each time. I am sure consular departments of those states in Turkey feel so emberassed because they are out of lies. It was so clear that those states decided to punish Turkish citizens ordered their embassies accordingly. For this reason, in my opinion, its the second round of state to state behind the scenes war.

      I remember a similar case when Turkey shot down a Russian military jet, Russia imposed visa to Turks, including normal citizens, special passport holders and even diplomatic passport holders expecting a similar retaliation from Turkey.
