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.
An impressive climb,and wonderful scenery. Very interesting to hear your story,and what you found out about different countrys. All the best with your move. Look forward to following your adventures.
So sad to see how these ever changing rules are impacting on people who have put so much energy into promoting life In Türkiye. I’ve learnt so much from you, thank you for all you have done. Wishing you well for the future
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.
It's my husband they kick out not me. I know the rules by hart after all of this. Been in Mugla 5 times etc etc. Just came back again today. They make me puke
@@CathyRudnick-p7t whew at least there are some people who talk sense. There are people whose principles are if I can’t have it then it is either not worth or unfair and they do everything in their manipulative language to dissuade people from attempting to obtain that they couldn’t get.
I am so sad for you having to leave your lovely home but you are so stoic and I,m sure you and Ken will eventually find a new home and I hope you will take us on many more adventures.
Such a shame that you have to leave Turkiye...you have been a great ambassador for them through your videos! I wish you all the best where you go and look forward to more great content ! Thank you so much Ellis ❤❤
Oh wow.Big changes indeed! South of France is beautiful! I live in S W Portugal, and although it seems to hardly rain at all, it is humid in the winter, and the old buildings are usually without drainage, etc. You have inspired me to visit Turkey, but I look forward to you hiking in France, too. Good luck and smooth moving.
How devastating. I hope you find somewhere you like. Somewhere they don't keep changing the rules. I have had such pleasure from your Turkish videos, I'm sure once you are settled somewhere new, you will share more with us. Best wishes for your future plans.
Love what you have done, over the years with the house and of cos the outside. Look so peaceful to just sit and have tea. Sad you are going, but I think it's meant to be for you both to move .
Best wishes for another place where you can feel at home. Generally, it's not easy to make long-term decisions nowadays because everything is changing every moment everywhere. But the more you are determined, the more the universe will help you and you seem very strong and positive. Thank you for taking us on this amazing walk. 💖
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.

@@geogeo2299 Want to expose your level of ignorance and knowledge? Up to you. Turkiye is the accepted name of this country at the UN. The British have learned to say Thailand to a country which they named Siam before. They learned to say Burkina Faso to a country they named Upper Volta before. And soon will learn to say Bharat to India as far as Indians change their country's name. You tried to be the wise guy but ended up as a fool.
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. Such a shame for us.
Sorry to hear you have to leave. We left Fethiye just over two years ago and moved to Sinai in Egypt. No visa required for over 60s. Dahab and Sharm el Sheik have been great for us. It's also cheaper here... Great weather also.
I'm sad for you being forced from the beautiful home you've that both created and lived in over 20 years. It must be tough but in a way a relief now that you've made the decision to leave and can plan your next adventure. Thank you for all the wonder filled film you've made and shared. They have certainly opened up to us the natural beauty and rich history of the region. I am returning in few weeks to finish walking the Lycian Way and your experience along it has been great viewing. Looking forward to following your next chapter in France. With best wishes 🙏
@@jon-t3b My friend, I am not Greek, but I live in Greece, and I have also lived in Turkey. I adore Greece of course, it's my chosen home and I wouldn't change it for the world. Turkey has a multicultural background, especially in the East, millennia old. Traveling there makes everyone a lot more history-conscious and humble. By the way, my name is not tycheri (τυχερή), is tyxeri.
@@jon-t3b what was it before Greeks? Phoenician , Lycian? 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.
@@jon-t3bHector and Sarpedon were two allied Prince fought against to Greek colonism.Firstly ,Crete island after Volcanic eruption then fall of Troya,Greeks invaded and colonised to Entire Aegean Area beyond to Thracia.
So sad I have lived and worked in Turkey for 25 years and been through a lot. I have just become a retiree - fortunately I gained permanent residency so I am fixed. Unfortunately at the moment (and always) Turkey is based on a greed for money and exploiting their own resources and any foreign visitors tourists or residents.
Try Asturias, Terni Umbria's communes, Romania, Albania, and Hungary. There's a lady, couple actually; the lady has a webpage called "Traveling Lens Photography." Great stories and info. I lived in Turkiye, Antalya, and then Fethiye. Now I'm in Umbria for a home base, but I'm planning to spend several months a year in St. Petersburg, Russia with stops on the way back to Italy in Tossa de Mar, Girona, Spain, and Oviedo, Asturias.
A lawyer can not change the rules. And who wants to stay in a country that does these things? I am not the only one. Many have gone already! It's not normal. Even the people in the office for residency say this. They are ashamed to do their job!
I live in Alanya and I am always mesmerized by the number of ungoing constructions all around despite the deteriorating economy with the second highest inflation in the world behind Argentina. There are also so many finished buildings all around all vacant .. The only reason why the government is now making a lot tougher for foreigners to obtain residence permits is because the government is forcing the foreigners to buy these vacant houses ..
They should not have included expelling the residents who have already been living there long-term and made it their permanent home in the new rules.. very sad and unfair..
@@mustafabaris9681 this practice not new. Since decades UAE 🇦🇪 had the same situation people were buying properties to get residency permits even if l am not wrong it applied to Portugal & Spain. But then you did not find govt forcing people to buy property to get residency permit and in the same situation now you are alleging that Turkish govt is forcing to buy properties for residence permits . What do you suggest you want can just enter the country and be granted residency permit.
Hi. We were so sad seeing your story. My wife and I were thinking of moving to Türkiye but are hearing more and more stories like yours. One place we have been looking at is Salalah in Oman. They have a permanent residency permit available for anyone who buys a house in selected areas. They also have beautiful countryside and it is a quiet, laidback place to live. We really hope and pray everything works out great for you all, wherever you end up.
Try Albania 11:47 . It’s so beautiful and with so much history! I’ve never thought that it’d be so enchanting… and the people are just from another world 🌍 they’re so helpful and honest.
Or Romania!! You'll love it there. Has lots of culture, weather is good, and people are incredibly friendly. We visited recently this summer and had a surprisingly amazing time. May God guide you and protect you 🙏
@@mariosvourosthere's ancient ruins there from before the Romans through the ottoman empire. There's also been a synagogue unearthed from over 2000 yrs ago. Currently a free secular democratic country with good US relations. Communism was a tiny blip in history, if that's what bothers you.
Oh well- we are super happy living here on the great Ohio River in USA near the countryside Cincinnati Ohio. We can drive North to Michigan and the Great Lakes. 4 hours South to the beautiful Smoky Mountains and the forests of Tennessee. Or drive 14 hours South on down to the beaches of Florida!! We are content and enjoy our style of living. No desire to traipse around foreign countries and their rules crazier than our USA!!! Good luck!!!
Haha I was not welcome in the US for the same reason. Not enough income. And being married to an American was not enough. That's why we went back to Turkey.
@@AtHomeInTurkey Must have changed I’m from NY and my Turkish wife came to live with me in 2008 no problems and neither of us had much if any income She was young though 31 then
Ach wat verdrietig Ellis en Ken. Leef met jullie mee. Ben er zelf ook een beetje verdrietig van dat jullie het prachtige Candır moeten verlaten. Veel sterkte en succes met de verkoop van jullie huis. Ik blijf je volgen!
Hello, I came across your video for the first time, I don't know you yet, but I know this problem and I understand your disappointment with Turkish regulations. Many beautiful and peaceful places can be found in Spain, you just need to move a little away from the tourist coast. Prices are even lower than in Turkey and the regulations do not change all the time. Regards
Bizimkiler vize istemiyor çoğu ülkeden, pasaportsuz sadece kimlikle bile girebiliyorlar düşün. Kendi vatandaşlarına değer veren ülkeler karşılıklı aynı anlaşmayı yapar. Çok rezil bir durumdayız. Yol geçen hanı oldu ülke.
Sorry to hear the bad news, have you ever thought about Bulgaria ?, as a European citizen you wouldn't have any trouble with the residential permit there, and the cost of living is similar to the cost of living in Turkiye.
Hello Ellis, indeed south of France, i would say the Ariege might be a fit. You will be clise to the pyrenees, many trekking possibilities. It is not very expensive and it has some sort of a hippi culture, healty less poisonous vegetables. I am a Turkish girl have been living in Toulouse since 10 years. If you like to chat let me know:)I am also looking for smth not too expensive, either where you live now or south of france.
Hi, where I live are no cheap deals left. Rents are also ridiculously high. And yes we are looking at Occitanie as a very good option. We hope to be there to check things out before the end of the year. Let's meet. But do remind me of this, I am very busy at the moment and will forget this
Wandered around the very same place and climbed the very same hill when i was on holiday in Dalyan last August, had to do it later in the day though as i had to wait on the ferry starting to get me across the river
I was recently in southern France (near the town of Requista) in the Tarn River Valley... One of the most beautiful places Ive ever been. I dont know how the prices of groceries compares to Turkey, but they were WAAAAAAY cheaper (and better quality) than those here in Canada! Sucks you have to leave tho...
Sad news. We have a place in Dalyan and was thinking of residency one day. I also looked before making any jump. Recently have read that Cambodia is great and residency is easy. Also read a lot of people moved to Bulgaria.
After living 5 years inn south east Asia what I have seen and learned is, I would never buy property and make home from third world countries, Turkey last couple years also became a middle east third world country. You can only invest, or buy something and live there if u have full citizenship rights, otherwise stay away from that place. Sorry to hear your story, hopefully you can find better place somewhere in southern europe where you are more safe and stable with your assets and investments. There are plenty beautiful places in northern and southern Spain and very affordable. Good luck.
I'm glad to hear your end note that at least you have gained a little reprieve which gives you time to organise yourselves. I totally spend my days in tandem with you, in that I spend most of my waking hours either in Google or RUclips looking for alternatives. Unappreciative of investments made over years in this country are now making people abandon ship, and I don't blame them. Turkey is getting a bad rap for all different reasons currently and it's well deserved. Good or bad, there is a solution for everything and I hope that your "good" one comes soon.
İ had been once in England for 3 monthes in year 2000 as a tourist. After İ back to Turkey 3 times applicated for Tourist visa and 2 times for student visa. They all has rejeckted. Uk biritish embassy sad me that They dont believe I back Turkey. Soo İ should have soo many dokuments and bank accounts bring to visa application and pay loads of money for every application. Europians doesnt need visa to come Turkey doesnt need plenty dokuments to get visa, doesnt need pay anthing for that. They come to Turkey like to go any city in their country. They just get a ticket and flight thats all. Maybe it will help some empathy.
Tutkey has too much foreigner sp. Syrian and Afghanen. and Golden Visa Immigrant mostly European Pensioners. Turkish Folks make pressure to goverment to change Immigration rules. New Rules make some people Problems, even if we don‘t mind personally
For Turkish citizien the rules in EU and Great Britiant to get a residence permit there are more strict and difficult, and also more expensive, then it is in Turkey for Biritish or EU citizen. As a Turk i have the opinion, the rules for residence in Turkey should be even much more difficult and hard as it is now, it should be at least the same like in the EU and British. Most Turish citizen cant get even a simple visa for a few days, the same VISA rules should applied to british and EU from Türkiye
@@AtHomeInTurkey ur right on that point. i am with u with that. Also: I whish it would be very easy for both sides, esspecially for nice people like u. But turkish citizin have many disadvantages to get residence permit or even visa. I didnt made the rules and i dont like em also. I whish u all the best and that u can stay in Turkey without Problems
Hallo Lady, are you living in Dalyan? I think I recognized the river and the Delta. Such a beautiful, peaceful place. I'm italian and if you're considering living in Italy, there is more than just Tuscany. Umbria, Marche, Abruzzo and all of Southern Italy are affordable too. I do agree with your concerns about water, I've lived in Spain in the regio of Matarraña (Aragon) expecially because it was rich of water. If you search well, you will find your place. Wish you all the best
@@AtHomeInTurkey Good choice! Nature in France is wanderful. Good luck to you both PS U spreekt nederlands met Timo, ik heb 32 jaar in Nederland gewoond, wat een toeval..😂
I don't want make you any more sad than I know you must both be... but I am truly heartbroken for you having to leave the landscape you love and that beautiful house and garden you made a home of for yourselves... I just hope whatever new home and place you go to that it captures your hearts in at least some of the way that Turkey has.. and that you can afford a home that wont need too much work to be as you would like it... And wherever you go please keep making videos... You make the best videos..
😕 oh Ellis , so sorry things didn't work out the way you & Ken wanted . I too have been looking at properties in the south of France ( Malta has become way too populated & suffocating 😒) South of France seems like a good choice as the weather is not too cold , the countryside is beautiful & France also has the best healthcare system in Europe . There are plenty of xpat channels on RUclips worth following. I have found quite a few good properties for around €50G but it depends on your requirements. At least you know you have enough time to get yourselves organised ✌️
Just a thought.... They want to see 850 appear in your bank each month? Maybe open a business account with a company name in your home country with a direct debit that pays you into your turkish account each month but you also have a direct debit from turkey to home business account to transfers it back. 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??? You may even be able to open the company in turkey but i don't know there rules on this. I know for sure you could open one up in Bulgaria in a few hours.x
There are even people that have offered to dump the money for us. But we don't want it anymore. The stress involved of one day being exposed is not worth it.
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.
I have to go for everything to Mugla, Fethiye won't help us, so I have never dealt with them. The want to see 850 euro, in lira monthly in a TL account. Even if you are a multi millionaire. But find your own answers also. I can be wrong.
@@AtHomeInTurkey Thanks for the prompt reply. After watching your first video, I check with a friend in Antalya, who works in an agency helping immigrants, and she said she hasn't heard anything. I will check with the immigration office in my province for sure. Wish you best luck in the South France project.
@@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. By the way, we went to Dalyan and spent a weekend there recently. Even took the vehicle ferry to Lake Ala to swim right near the spot at the beginning of your ep1 video I believe. It is really beautiful and full of fun. I can understand more your emotions now. Hope things will work out for you fine going forward.
Just go to the Greek islands. Prices are about the same, the environment is clean, people are very friendly and all below 60 years speak English and you get out of the Middle East. As a EU citizen you dont need any residence permits
@@mariachanlidou6697 What is this stuff! Its not about like or not like. I also have no feelings about Norway, but I don't dislike the place. Why would I? There are nice people everywhere. You are just drawn to a place or not. Stop this nonsense please!
If you don't have enough income to fulfill the Turkish requirements, don't go to France, life is much more expensive, even compared with Turkey the last 2 years. I'm a French retiree, living in Turkey (Izmir). Feel free to contact me.
Don't worry by selling this house we can create more income if needed. I have friends in France and they filled me in on the costs. We will go to the warm part for sure.
I’m from turkey 🇹🇷 I use to live in Izmir always I live in uk 🇬🇧 I will back to turkey live there I have apartment in Dalaman mugla where about you in izmir? I use to live Karşıyaka izmir
I am really sad to hear that you are leaving your home, and I’m quite disappointed with the Turkish government for handing out citizenship as if there’s no tomorrow, while you have lived there for 20+ years and single-handedly become a cultural attaché of the country, they could at least give you permanent residency. I love your channel and admire how passionate you are about nature and history, and how deeply you cherish this land. I hope you create a beautiful home in the south of France, a place I really like. The nature there is amazing, though perhaps not as rich in history as Turkey-or there might be hidden history that we don’t yet know, and you will show us. I can’t wait to see your future videos. Best wishes from Amsterdam ❤
Hi Ellis, ik woon al meer dan 30 jaar op Kreta. Dat is ongeveer aan de overkant van waar je nu woont. 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.
Dank je. Maar in mijn beleving gebeurd alles met een reden en laat ik me dus ook sturen door mijn gevoel. En dat gaat niet die kant uit. Ook al lijkt het me zeer de moeite van het eens gaan kijken waard. Ik ben daar nooit geweest.
I'm sad you have to leave beautiful Turkey. I loved watching your adventures great job. I look forward to seeing your future videos. I hope all works out great for you and Ken. You will be in my prayers. ❤
Hello. I wasnt gonna write something but, you went stuck in my head 😲 First bideo I saw of you ! Look i to Spain again. Me and my son live here. Gonna move a bit up north but stay in yhe Valencia comunidad, but guess Castellon. The healthcare is very good here. Spain is a lot cheaper then France. I have been doing some research since its closer for my daughter that live in Sweden. The healthcare is more expensive and ...well...just do a deep dive before you make up your mind. Water is not that big of a problem . .. Hugs from Spain
As a Turkish I want to thank you for all your videos and effort you spend. You were a great ambassador for our country. We are badly governed for years. Democracy is not working here. Systems are broken. What they only know is building big apartments in dense populated areas and selling them. Do not buy these garbages. I am also golden visa applicant from Portugal and even I invested 500.000 Euros there by buying house they are keeping me wait for three years and not giving residence permit as they promised. Bad for people like us. We cannot live where we want even we obey rules because of these bad goverments and broken systems.
People could never live where they wanted. Even EU citizens must apply to live in other EU countries, must qualify for income limits, have health insurance etc. buying a property, irrespective of the value NEVER guaranteed residency, anywhere in the world.
@@corabrosnan7338 I lived in France before and this was not the case. To let them know you are there is enough. Just Ken needed to apply for residence. Got 5 years without any costs. Little different to all the hoops they let you jump here. Plus the endless fees they have you pay.
@corabrosnan7338, if that's the case (if they do not want to give permit) Portugal should stop Golden Visa program, still this program continues even they do not give what they promise. I just applied what they offer in 2021, government said buy property > 500k eur and we will give you residence permit but they do not do what they need to do after. There are similar programs in Spain, Malta and Greece and even here in Turkey. Not only I am victim there are thousands of people from all world including USA, Canada are all etc feel like frauded. All these people discussing what to do next in big watsapp groups. I was thinking Europe is more careful and strict in these topics but it's just dissapointment.
Have you ever contacted a member of parliament or a local politician to support you for citizenship? Your YuoTube videos are indeed promoting the tourism for Türkiye attracting lost of visitors and by doing so bringing millions of dollars to Türkiye. Just because of that you should be given exception to the citizenship requirements due to your service to the Turkish nation. Please consider that route. Best wishes
Zo jammer ik had zo gehoopt dat jullie konden blijven ik ben Turks. geboren in zuid Limburg en woon sinds een paar jaar in Antalya de Hollandse migranten in Turkije zijn de beste en liefste mensen en hebben altijd goede bedoelingen. En ze hebben altijd veel respect voor onze natuur en dieren. dankzij jouw filmpjes heb ik zo veel geleerd over de geschiedenis van mijn land. ik hoop dat jullie in de toekomst nog willen en kunnen terug keren zodra wij van erdogan en zijn corrupte bende af zijn. Gaan jullie terug naar Holland? Misschien is Bulgarije een optie?
Zelfs als de top vertrekt zijn de Turken nog lang niet op orde. Er zit nu een hele bult lokale boys onder die corrupt zijn. Dat gaat vele jaren duren , als het al lukt.
I advise trying Georgia..they are welcoming all for up to 12 months on campus free at the border visa... . This will be my bolthole if the powers be decide I'm to leave here...
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.
@@AtHomeInTurkey Sorry to hear that but this thing happening to Turks in the last 2 years is out of this world. My daughter went to Italy last year with a school trip for 8 days. School is in Ankara and has a sister school in Milan. 41 students selected for the trip and 17 of them couldnt go because Italian embassy didnt give any appointments for 6 months. They didnt even allow to apply for visa. So income was not the reason. The ones who were able to go were the ones who had special passports thus didnt need any visa. 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. But Turkey imposed visa to only government personnel not the ordinary people of Russia. States act differently and retaliate differently. I feel deeply sorry for what you are experiencing now. I wish you and Ken all the best.
@osmanoz6474 I agree. I think it is because Türkiye has applied to join BRICS and I personally am happy that they have. However all we see in the British media at the moment is negative stories about how expensive Türkiye has become and basically how we should not go there. To me it is obvious that the media is trying to lead us again into believing them as they are doing with the 'g4nocid4' in G@z@. Everything is political and there is a very big shift coming where the West no longer is 'in charge' 👍🏼 I would like to leave the UK. My daughter has British and Turkish passports. Unfortunately I didn't take citizenship in the 90s when I was married there. 🙄 I will have to follow the $200k property rule to be able to live there with my daughter if she decides to go .. prayers for a lottery win! 🙄😂

Simple solution send your pension into Ken’s account in U.S. then send it back to Ken’s Turkish lira account with a compony called WISE it will only cost you $10 a month max. money will be in your husbands Turkish account in minutes… You will have difficulty obtaining private health insurance in France with his age and previous health problems.
@@AtHomeInTurkey since KKTC is very small, if there are any issues in the future, the responsible minister might turn out to be your neighbor to fix things quickly. Considering that you are culturally aclimatized to Turkey, KKTC might be an easier step. Plus you'd be half an hours drive away from an EU country.
Good morning🖐 Will you stay in Dalyan nowadays? I’ll be there on 16.-18. also. Would love to meet you& talk a little bit 💖 sending you greetings from Izmir🖐
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.
@@AtHomeInTurkey I so adore it too x
@@AtHomeInTurkey you my horse
Ne kadar doğru görmüşsünüz. Çoğu kişi bunların maalesef farkında değil.
We will miss you so much. Thanks for everything you have done for Turkey…
Thanks. Its a lot of fun to do and I will just do the same somewhere else.
An impressive climb,and wonderful scenery. Very interesting to hear your story,and what you found out about different countrys. All the best with your move. Look forward to following your adventures.
Thank you. More adventures to come I am sure.
So sad to see how these ever changing rules are impacting on people who have put so much energy into promoting life In Türkiye. I’ve learnt so much from you, thank you for all you have done. Wishing you well for the future
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.
It's my husband they kick out not me. I know the rules by hart after all of this. Been in Mugla 5 times etc etc. Just came back again today. They make me puke
They are corrupt so need to pay them some way. I was kept 5 months for the 5 days job and life lost millions
@@dilekavan5796 Wow
@@CathyRudnick-p7t whew at least there are some people who talk sense. There are people whose principles are if I can’t have it then it is either not worth or unfair and they do everything in their manipulative language to dissuade people from attempting to obtain that they couldn’t get.
I am so sad for you having to leave your lovely home but you are so stoic and I,m sure you and Ken will eventually find a new home and I hope you will take us on many more adventures.
I hope so too!
Such a shame that you have to leave Turkiye...you have been a great ambassador for them through your videos!
I wish you all the best where you go and look forward to more great content !
Thank you so much Ellis ❤❤
No worries! Every place has something worth while. We will find one.
Yes thank you Ellis. ❤
Oh wow.Big changes indeed! South of France is beautiful! I live in S W Portugal, and although it seems to hardly rain at all, it is humid in the winter, and the old buildings are usually without drainage, etc. You have inspired me to visit Turkey, but I look forward to you hiking in France, too. Good luck and smooth moving.
Thanks. I know those damp problems. Old houses here have the same. And also only rain outside the summer.
How devastating. I hope you find somewhere you like. Somewhere they don't keep changing the rules. I have had such pleasure from your Turkish videos, I'm sure once you are settled somewhere new, you will share more with us. Best wishes for your future plans.
if i dare to say..to feel at home in "good old europe" is not so easy these days..
Love what you have done, over the years with the house and of cos the outside. Look so peaceful to just sit and have tea. Sad you are going, but I think it's meant to be for you both to move
.
Everything happens for a reason in my thinking. So who knows how we see this in a years time
@AtHomeInTurkey For sure, all will be well.
You could get something in inland Granada, lovely villages and the Sierra Nevada. Or Northern Macedonia near Ohrid.both areas are stunning.
Waardeloos dat jullie niet mogen blijven , wens jullie veel succes met het vinden van een nieuwe plek en dat jullie huis snel verkocht mag worden
Ik hoop ook op een snelle verkoop. Wachten is niet mijn sterkste kant.
@@AtHomeInTurkey Succes! Het komt uiteindelijk wel goed. Ga met de stroom mee.
Best wishes for another place where you can feel at home. Generally, it's not easy to make long-term decisions nowadays because everything is changing every moment everywhere. But the more you are determined, the more the universe will help you and you seem very strong and positive. Thank you for taking us on this amazing walk.
💖
I just go with the flow and my gut feeling. Usually that works out well.
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..
Thanks. I will put it in my list of places to go and check out.
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.
Sorry to hear you had trouble too. Let's hope it will all work out for everyone involved in this nightmare.

We 're speaking English here. The name of the country is Turkey.
@@geogeo2299 Want to expose your level of ignorance and knowledge? Up to you. Turkiye is the accepted name of this country at the UN. The British have learned to say Thailand to a country which they named Siam before. They learned to say Burkina Faso to a country they named Upper Volta before. And soon will learn to say Bharat to India as far as Indians change their country's name.
You tried to be the wise guy but ended up as a fool.
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.

I too thought I would buy a retirement home in Turkey but Italy is cheaper and will be my long term option.
"I hardly interact with people anyway". I knew there was a reason I liked ya 😂
Sorry to hear you have to leave. We left Fethiye just over two years ago and moved to Sinai in Egypt. No visa required for over 60s. Dahab and Sharm el Sheik have been great for us. It's also cheaper here... Great weather also.
Yes I have been there. Loved the snorkeling.
That's not true, over 60's need a visa. You don't have to pay fees if you overstay, that's all.
I'm sad for you being forced from the beautiful home you've that both created and lived in over 20 years. It must be tough but in a way a relief now that you've made the decision to leave and can plan your next adventure. Thank you for all the wonder filled film you've made and shared. They have certainly opened up to us the natural beauty and rich history of the region. I am returning in few weeks to finish walking the Lycian Way and your experience along it has been great viewing. Looking forward to following your next chapter in France. With best wishes 🙏
Thanks! And happy hiking!
Turkey will miss nice people like you. You were an asset to Turkey. Pity!
@@jon-t3b My friend, I am not Greek, but I live in Greece, and I have also lived in Turkey. I adore Greece of course, it's my chosen home and I wouldn't change it for the world. Turkey has a multicultural background, especially in the East, millennia old. Traveling there makes everyone a lot more history-conscious and humble. By the way, my name is not tycheri (τυχερή), is tyxeri.
@@jon-t3b what was it before Greeks? Phoenician , Lycian?
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.
@@jon-t3bHector and Sarpedon were two allied Prince fought against to Greek colonism.Firstly ,Crete island after Volcanic eruption then fall of Troya,Greeks invaded and colonised to Entire Aegean Area beyond to Thracia.
Sorry you have to leave Turkey hope you find your new home soon x
Wishing you both all the best in your search for your new country and home. Sad to hear the news. Thank you for sharing from Australia.
It always works out. Sometimes you have to close a door for the next to be able to open.
Check out Asturias, sheltered by the picos, stunningly beautiful and definitely no water shortage!
Thanks for the tip! I put it on the list.
That's what I was going to say, Asturias, or Terni Umbria.
Northern Portugal is mountainous, and cost of living not too bad.
I know. Its option number 2 at the moment
Sad that you have to leave Turkey, but you do have an exciting adventure on the horizon. Cheers.
Yes. It's chaos at the moment but I am sure ones at the new spot we will be exploring in no time.
So sorry for you that u have to make this upheavle in your lives😢
Yes it's sad. But on the other hand it's also exciting. A new adventure is waiting.
So sad I have lived and worked in Turkey for 25 years and been through a lot. I have just become a retiree - fortunately I gained permanent residency so I am fixed. Unfortunately at the moment (and always) Turkey is based on a greed for money and exploiting their own resources and any foreign visitors tourists or residents.
Yes and it's not just Turkey
Try Asturias, Terni Umbria's communes, Romania, Albania, and Hungary. There's a lady, couple actually; the lady has a webpage called "Traveling Lens Photography." Great stories and info. I lived in Turkiye, Antalya, and then Fethiye. Now I'm in Umbria for a home base, but I'm planning to spend several months a year in St. Petersburg, Russia with stops on the way back to Italy in Tossa de Mar, Girona, Spain, and Oviedo, Asturias.
I am Turkish man and I want you stay turkey till your last breath please 🙏 stay we need people like you talk to Lawyer Turkish people gonna help you
A lawyer can not change the rules. And who wants to stay in a country that does these things? I am not the only one. Many have gone already! It's not normal. Even the people in the office for residency say this. They are ashamed to do their job!

Sorry to hear that. Hope you find another great place. And after weeks on google I know they are out there. Good luck!
I live in Alanya and I am always mesmerized by the number of ungoing constructions all around despite the deteriorating economy with the second highest inflation in the world behind Argentina. There are also so many finished buildings all around all vacant .. The only reason why the government is now making a lot tougher for foreigners to obtain residence permits is because the government is forcing the foreigners to buy these vacant houses ..
They should not have included expelling the residents who have already been living there long-term and made it their permanent home in the new rules.. very sad and unfair..
Corrupt officers sell those overpriced buildings for golden visa / citizenship scheme
@@mustafabaris9681 this practice not new. Since decades UAE 🇦🇪 had the same situation people were buying properties to get residency permits even if l am not wrong it applied to Portugal & Spain. But then you did not find govt forcing people to buy property to get residency permit and in the same situation now you are alleging that Turkish govt is forcing to buy properties for residence permits . What do you suggest you want can just enter the country and be granted residency permit.
Hi. We were so sad seeing your story. My wife and I were thinking of moving to Türkiye but are hearing more and more stories like yours. One place we have been looking at is Salalah in Oman. They have a permanent residency permit available for anyone who buys a house in selected areas. They also have beautiful countryside and it is a quiet, laidback place to live.
We really hope and pray everything works out great for you all, wherever you end up.
Yes, the world has gone mad. But Oman. That's religious for me.
Check out Crete is a big island with lots of mountains and beautiful beaches
So sad that all this happened to you. :( hope you you will geto through all of this soon.
We will. Just go with the flow.

We are content and enjoy our style of living. No desire to traipse around foreign countries and their rules crazier than our USA!!! Good luck!!!

Ach, zodra er een deur dicht gaat kunnen andere deure open. En dat is spannend!
Hello, I came across your video for the first time, I don't know you yet, but I know this problem and I understand your disappointment with Turkish regulations. Many beautiful and peaceful places can be found in Spain, you just need to move a little away from the tourist coast. Prices are even lower than in Turkey and the regulations do not change all the time. Regards
Yes we have been thinking about that. But we will start of in France and see from there.
Isn't that normal? As a turks we cant go to england without documentation and visa.
If you live in England for 20 years, you would be naturalized and could either become a citizen or obtain permanent residency.
Bizimkiler vize istemiyor çoğu ülkeden, pasaportsuz sadece kimlikle bile girebiliyorlar düşün. Kendi vatandaşlarına değer veren ülkeler karşılıklı aynı anlaşmayı yapar. Çok rezil bir durumdayız. Yol geçen hanı oldu ülke.
Sorry to hear the bad news, have you ever thought about Bulgaria ?, as a European citizen you wouldn't have any trouble with the residential permit there, and the cost of living is similar to the cost of living in Turkiye.
It most likely cheaper at this point haha
Hello Ellis, indeed south of France, i would say the Ariege might be a fit. You will be clise to the pyrenees, many trekking possibilities. It is not very expensive and it has some sort of a hippi culture, healty less poisonous vegetables. I am a Turkish girl have been living in Toulouse since 10 years. If you like to chat let me know:)I am also looking for smth not too expensive, either where you live now or south of france.
Hi, where I live are no cheap deals left. Rents are also ridiculously high. And yes we are looking at Occitanie as a very good option. We hope to be there to check things out before the end of the year. Let's meet. But do remind me of this, I am very busy at the moment and will forget this
Wandered around the very same place and climbed the very same hill when i was on holiday in Dalyan last August, had to do it later in the day though as i had to wait on the ferry starting to get me across the river
Yes, the ferry times are always in the way for an early start. Also for bird lovers.
I wish you my very best. Please keep us apprised of developments.
Sure, it's going to be the same type of content but another setting.
I was recently in southern France (near the town of Requista) in the Tarn River Valley... One of the most beautiful places Ive ever been. I dont know how the prices of groceries compares to Turkey, but they were WAAAAAAY cheaper (and better quality) than those here in Canada! Sucks you have to leave tho...
By now Turkey is nearly even with there prices. I have been in the tarn area a few times. Stunning!
Sad news. We have a place in Dalyan and was thinking of residency one day. I also looked before making any jump. Recently have read that Cambodia is great and residency is easy. Also read a lot of people moved to Bulgaria.
Cambodia, yes. If I was younger I would look into that for sure.
really sad miss. I hope you will find a solution :-(
After living 5 years inn south east Asia what I have seen and learned is, I would never buy property and make home from third world countries, Turkey last couple years also became a middle east third world country. You can only invest, or buy something and live there if u have full citizenship rights, otherwise stay away from that place. Sorry to hear your story, hopefully you can find better place somewhere in southern europe where you are more safe and stable with your assets and investments. There are plenty beautiful places in northern and southern Spain and very affordable. Good luck.
You might take a look at the Slavic countries. I have family in the CR and Slovakia and they enjoy them. Wherever, I wish you the best.
I'm glad to hear your end note that at least you have gained a little reprieve which gives you time to organise yourselves. I totally spend my days in tandem with you, in that I spend most of my waking hours either in Google or RUclips looking for alternatives. Unappreciative of investments made over years in this country are now making people abandon ship, and I don't blame them. Turkey is getting a bad rap for all different reasons currently and it's well deserved. Good or bad, there is a solution for everything and I hope that your "good" one comes soon.
Thank you. I hope it will work out for you too. It seems that we will be alright.
İ had been once in England for 3 monthes in year 2000 as a tourist. After İ back to Turkey 3 times applicated for Tourist visa and 2 times for student visa. They all has rejeckted. Uk biritish embassy sad me that They dont believe I back Turkey. Soo İ should have soo many dokuments and bank accounts bring to visa application and pay loads of money for every application. Europians doesnt need visa to come Turkey doesnt need plenty dokuments to get visa, doesnt need pay anthing for that. They come to Turkey like to go any city in their country. They just get a ticket and flight thats all. Maybe it will help some empathy.
I know it's a shame.
Come to the Rocky Mountains. It is stunningly beautiful here.
Lived in Texas for a year. Also very special but not to live. Everything to car orientated.
Tutkey has too much foreigner sp. Syrian and Afghanen.
and Golden Visa Immigrant mostly European Pensioners.
Turkish Folks make pressure to goverment to change Immigration rules.
New Rules make some people Problems, even if we don‘t mind personally
Yes, and I do understand that.
For Turkish citizien the rules in EU and Great Britiant to get a residence permit there are more strict and difficult, and also more expensive, then it is in Turkey for Biritish or EU citizen. As a Turk i have the opinion, the rules for residence in Turkey should be even much more difficult and hard as it is now, it should be at least the same like in the EU and British. Most Turish citizen cant get even a simple visa for a few days, the same VISA rules should applied to british and EU from Türkiye
All ok with me. But don't let people in, build up a life, spent their money and then become difficult after 20 years.

Hallo Lady, are you living in Dalyan? I think I recognized the river and the Delta. Such a beautiful, peaceful place.

I just hope whatever new home and place you go to that it captures your hearts in at least some of the way that Turkey has.. and that you can afford a home that wont need too much work to be as you would like it...

Thanks a lot. I am sure there will be a place for us. And in a way it's exciting to go an find it.
😕 oh Ellis , so sorry things didn't work out the way you & Ken wanted . I too have been looking at properties in the south of France ( Malta has become way too populated & suffocating 😒) South of France seems like a good choice as the weather is not too cold , the countryside is beautiful & France also has the best healthcare system in Europe . There are plenty of xpat channels on RUclips worth following. I have found quite a few good properties for around €50G but it depends on your requirements. At least you know you have enough time to get yourselves organised ✌️
Yes, south of France is beautiful. Just overall a little to expensive on the overheads. But It sure looks like the place to go.
@@AtHomeInTurkey kiss my ass
Have you considered Sicily?
I think the rule change was in part a way to limit Russian emmigres
Yes. And I do understand. Turkey took in 10.000.000 people. That's an insane amount of people. Just leave the ones that are inside already alone.
Just a thought.... They want to see 850 appear in your bank each month? Maybe open a business account with a company name in your home country with a direct debit that pays you into your turkish account each month but you also have a direct debit from turkey to home business account to transfers it back. 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??? You may even be able to open the company in turkey but i don't know there rules on this. I know for sure you could open one up in Bulgaria in a few hours.x
There are even people that have offered to dump the money for us. But we don't want it anymore. The stress involved of one day being exposed is not worth it.
This shouldn't be a way. Which decent person would want to get involved in such procedures?
Thought that your state pension would be accepted as regular income, hope you revise your decision and find a permanent solution to stay with us.
I don't have a pension and Ken's is to small
Wish you all the best. All the ancient places you walk are ancient Greek though. You can visit Greece
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...
Good luck 😊
Thank you!
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.
I have to go for everything to Mugla, Fethiye won't help us, so I have never dealt with them. The want to see 850 euro, in lira monthly in a TL account. Even if you are a multi millionaire. But find your own answers also. I can be wrong.
@@AtHomeInTurkey Thanks for the prompt reply. After watching your first video, I check with a friend in Antalya, who works in an agency helping immigrants, and she said she hasn't heard anything. I will check with the immigration office in my province for sure.
Wish you best luck in the South France project.
@@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.
By the way, we went to Dalyan and spent a weekend there recently. Even took the vehicle ferry to Lake Ala to swim right near the spot at the beginning of your ep1 video I believe. It is really beautiful and full of fun. I can understand more your emotions now.

I am really sad to hear that you are leaving your home, and I’m quite disappointed with the Turkish government for handing out citizenship as if there’s no tomorrow, while you have lived there for 20+ years and single-handedly become a cultural attaché of the country, they could at least give you permanent residency. I love your channel and admire how passionate you are about nature and history, and how deeply you cherish this land. I hope you create a beautiful home in the south of France, a place I really like.

Hi Ellis, ik woon al meer dan 30 jaar op Kreta. Dat is ongeveer aan de overkant van waar je nu woont. 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.
Dank je. Maar in mijn beleving gebeurd alles met een reden en laat ik me dus ook sturen door mijn gevoel. En dat gaat niet die kant uit. Ook al lijkt het me zeer de moeite van het eens gaan kijken waard. Ik ben daar nooit geweest.
sorry to hear. will you be selling the house?
Yes, the house will go
I'm sad you have to leave beautiful Turkey. I loved watching your adventures great job. I look forward to seeing your future videos. I hope all works out great for you and Ken. You will be in my prayers. ❤

Hello. I wasnt gonna write something but, you went stuck in my head 😲 First bideo I saw of you ! Look i to Spain again. Me and my son live here. Gonna move a bit up north but stay in yhe Valencia comunidad, but guess Castellon. The healthcare is very good here. Spain is a lot cheaper then France. I have been doing some research since its closer for my daughter that live in Sweden. The healthcare is more expensive and ...well...just do a deep dive before you make up your mind. Water is not that big of a problem . .. Hugs from Spain
Thank you. We are still open for suggestions. We will see.
So sorry... 😟
As a Turkish I want to thank you for all your videos and effort you spend. You were a great ambassador for our country. We are badly governed for years. Democracy is not working here. Systems are broken. What they only know is building big apartments in dense populated areas and selling them. Do not buy these garbages. I am also golden visa applicant from Portugal and even I invested 500.000 Euros there by buying house they are keeping me wait for three years and not giving residence permit as they promised. Bad for people like us. We cannot live where we want even we obey rules because of these bad goverments and broken systems.
So true.
People could never live where they wanted. Even EU citizens must apply to live in other EU countries, must qualify for income limits, have health insurance etc. buying a property, irrespective of the value NEVER guaranteed residency, anywhere in the world.
@@corabrosnan7338 I lived in France before and this was not the case. To let them know you are there is enough. Just Ken needed to apply for residence. Got 5 years without any costs. Little different to all the hoops they let you jump here. Plus the endless fees they have you pay.
@corabrosnan7338, if that's the case (if they do not want to give permit) Portugal should stop Golden Visa program, still this program continues even they do not give what they promise. I just applied what they offer in 2021, government said buy property > 500k eur and we will give you residence permit but they do not do what they need to do after. There are similar programs in Spain, Malta and Greece and even here in Turkey. Not only I am victim there are thousands of people from all world including USA, Canada are all etc feel like frauded. All these people discussing what to do next in big watsapp groups. I was thinking Europe is more careful and strict in these topics but it's just dissapointment.
So go north to Armenia or Georgia. Those countries are civilized.
problem is selling your house in this economy
Yes, let's hope that will work out. No other way out for me.
Have you ever contacted a member of parliament or a local politician to support you for citizenship? Your YuoTube videos are indeed promoting the tourism for Türkiye attracting lost of visitors and by doing so bringing millions of dollars to Türkiye. Just because of that you should be given exception to the citizenship requirements due to your service to the Turkish nation. Please consider that route. Best wishes

@@AtHomeInTurkeyTurks will give you permanent residency or smth like that, because you attracted lots of tourists.

Zo jammer ik had zo gehoopt dat jullie konden blijven ik ben Turks. geboren in zuid Limburg en woon sinds een paar jaar in Antalya de Hollandse migranten in Turkije zijn de beste en liefste mensen en hebben altijd goede bedoelingen. En ze hebben altijd veel respect voor onze natuur en dieren. dankzij jouw filmpjes heb ik zo veel geleerd over de geschiedenis van mijn land. ik hoop dat jullie in de toekomst nog willen en kunnen terug keren zodra wij van erdogan en zijn corrupte bende af zijn. Gaan jullie terug naar Holland? Misschien is Bulgarije een optie?
Zelfs als de top vertrekt zijn de Turken nog lang niet op orde. Er zit nu een hele bult lokale boys onder die corrupt zijn. Dat gaat vele jaren duren , als het al lukt.

I have heard about this. But I don't want to be stuck between Russia and Turkey
@@AtHomeInTurkey yes... Could be a problem.... But then nowhere on earth is terribly safe at this time....!
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.
Those things are so wrong. And sadly everywhere. I was rejected in the US for the same reason. Not enough income. And I am married to an American!
@@AtHomeInTurkey Sorry to hear that but this thing happening to Turks in the last 2 years is out of this world. My daughter went to Italy last year with a school trip for 8 days. School is in Ankara and has a sister school in Milan. 41 students selected for the trip and 17 of them couldnt go because Italian embassy didnt give any appointments for 6 months. They didnt even allow to apply for visa. So income was not the reason. The ones who were able to go were the ones who had special passports thus didnt need any visa.
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. But Turkey imposed visa to only government personnel not the ordinary people of Russia. States act differently and retaliate differently. I feel deeply sorry for what you are experiencing now. I wish you and Ken all the best.
@osmanoz6474 I agree. I think it is because Türkiye has applied to join BRICS and I personally am happy that they have. However all we see in the British media at the moment is negative stories about how expensive Türkiye has become and basically how we should not go there. To me it is obvious that the media is trying to lead us again into believing them as they are doing with the 'g4nocid4' in G@z@. Everything is political and there is a very big shift coming where the West no longer is 'in charge' 👍🏼 I would like to leave the UK. My daughter has British and Turkish passports. Unfortunately I didn't take citizenship in the 90s when I was married there. 🙄 I will have to follow the $200k property rule to be able to live there with my daughter if she decides to go .. prayers for a lottery win! 🙄😂
Denk eens aan Hongarije,aow onbelast,geen vermogens belasting,prachtige natuur,huizen met een aardig lapje grond,ik woon al een paar jaar in het Mecsek gebergte,lange zomers, 2 maanden winter en niet eens zo koud of guur,en alles nog betaalbaar
Dank je.
@at home in turkey you might consider Carpathian mountains of Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Georgia is all on mountains, Kyrgyzstan or South Kazakhstan. All above mentioned countries have fresh and clean food, gorgeous nature, friendly people, and cheap prices. Turkey is a disaster, personally for me.
why disaster for you? any details?

@@tomsam5502 Bu anlattıklarınız büyük oranda sizin önyargılaıınız. Dünyanın heryerinde olumlu veya olumsuz insanlar vardır. Türkiye dünyanın en yoğun ziyaret edilen ülkelerindendir. Kriminal olayların oranı birçok batılı ülkeden daha azdır.
Just move to South Africa. For a hundred thousand Euros, you could live in a mansion. We have sun, mountains, and if you know where to look, ancient sites. 😊
You know? That never even crossed my mind. Thanks.
Simple solution send your pension into Ken’s
account in U.S. then send it back to Ken’s Turkish lira account with a
compony called WISE it will only cost you $10 a month max.
money will be in your husbands Turkish account in minutes…
You will have difficulty obtaining private health insurance in France
with his age and previous health problems.
Haha. I don't have a pension. Not for another 4 years
did you consider Cyprus? Northen and Southern?
No, I did not. Don't know why.
In South, yes. Not, in north. Haven't you hear about Turkish occupation?
@@AtHomeInTurkey since KKTC is very small, if there are any issues in the future, the responsible minister might turn out to be your neighbor to fix things quickly. Considering that you are culturally aclimatized to Turkey, KKTC might be an easier step. Plus you'd be half an hours drive away from an EU country.
