Turkey Residence Permit Printing Stage Duration
Omer Varol replied to Nico's topic in Short-term Residence Permits
Just to let people know me and my wife's got our ikamet 2 weeks after appointment date (2 days after our expiration date). The new cards look pretty neat. -
Omer Varol reacted to a post in a topic: Using a Two-year Health Insurance Policy for a Second Year of Residence in Turkey
-
Hey all, me and my wife will be applying for our renewals for our residence permits. We initially applied for 2 years for our first application (and in turn got 2 years of private health insurance). Sadly, we only got accepted for one year on our residency. But its the time of year where we must apply for our residency again, and we'll be applying for just one year, are we able to use the health insurance we put for the first time as it'll be valid within the time frame?

Not to hijack the thread but has the Chios port opened for ferries? -

British Turk Wants to Get Turkish Citizenship
Omer Varol replied to Selim1984uk's topic in Citizenship
^^ I did read somewhere that if you have a medical condition that will prevent you from serving in the military, you will be excused, if you have hospital documentation to back it up. I'm sure the embassy should know something about this. @Ken Grubb Great stuff on the docs you made, one thing to mention is that in the embassy they might want to request both parents physically present for the process, no ifs ands or buts (I faced that in the US at their embassy). -

British Turk Wants to Get Turkish Citizenship
Omer Varol replied to Selim1984uk's topic in Citizenship
I'm not Ken but I'll jump in with my knowledge. Btw, you don't have to google the exact process because I believe it's barely done, feel free to be the first though!! I recommend just researching the parts that you need. Btw: I'm American so please do more research as I'm not entirely sure. Birth Certificate: I found these links might be of help: https://www.apostille.org.uk/birth-certificates https://www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised After you get that Apostilled you should get it translated and notarized (The embassy might help you with that part) A criminal record I'm not su -
Buying Agricultural Property in Turkey as a Foreigner
Omer Varol replied to Monique's topic in Buying and Selling
Just to send an update on my question, I believe it is allowed to own just land for a RP as long as you have a plan to build something there within 2 years of obtaining the land. I believe this provision is written in the recent law of Law No. 6302, if someone would like to view it. -
I see what you mean, so with doc martins site he is correct because there used to be a provision where if you had Turkish descent (Great-Great-Grandfather was Turkish) then you'd be able to get citizenship but that is no more, So that's what doc martin was trying to say. He can correct me if I'm wrong if he sees this post. As for the embassy site make sure you have the right forms because back in the States the embassy gave me like 4 different forms, I'm sure if you go there personally they might be able to help.

Flight from Istanbul to USA
Omer Varol replied to thomasarm's topic in Turkey Travel, Tours, and Activities
Ouch sorry to hear that. I know someone trying to get back to Turkey but they're going via Ukraine and they're tickets are still on I think, I'll double check -
Me and my wife fully have our ikamets (residence permits) and are now settled in Ankara, thank you to both Martin for the amazing docs you have set up and also thank you to Ken for running this forum with the helpful guides as well! (I'll discuss me and my wife's ikamet fun on another post) So, I have two friends that are out of Turkey (They both have ikamets and own an apartment here). They plan to fly back to Turkey as soon as possible, which I believe its June 4th but I hear it got pushed a week further? The general question is, will they be allowed on a flight to Istanbul from th

Criminal Record Check for Long-term Residence Permit
Omer Varol replied to Izmir Ted's topic in Long-term Residence Permits
In the U.S. you can get a police record from either at the State level or the Feds. I wonder if the embassy here can help assist with that? Or maybe they'll just tell you to scram -
