    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.

    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.

      What is your point with saying'' its all greek '' there. why are you greeks acting like you did not invade/conquer the very same land? Why do you ppl act like this land is only given to Greeks by god?
      Why all Greeks always under the videos of Turkiye and always talk in a same manner? You guys just can not move on dont you ?
      its been centuries. You should get over it already. You already have georgous country with a small population.
      And yes there is many historical Greek places In Turkey but also many artifacts from other civilizations such Hitits, Lycian , Phoenician and more. So dont act like it was always yours.

      That's what I said when I heard they want "sunshine, nature and lots of history". Greece and Cyprus are world champions in those leagues.
      Although me thinks that something has already caused them to rule Greece out, else why opting for Turkey in the first place...

    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.

      @@AtHomeInTurkey Just went to the immigration office in my province this week, and checked with the officer there. Was told the policy is still the same here. Basically 6 month bank statement showing sufficient balance for the extension period should be good enough. Maybe because every province is slightly different and mine is a less famous and populated one. Cautiously optimistic now. Will see in 5 months when the process actually starts. fingers crossed.

Het landschap en de geluiden die je hoort zijn hier precies hetzelfde als bij jou en het klimaat ook, denk ik. Als je naar hier verhuist zal je Turkije niet missen. 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.

    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.
