I am planning to go and stay there next year, I can see now it couldn't be easy to do it. Thanks for the information.

Thank You so much for all the information you have shared, we are planning our first trip from South Africa, Alhmd, found so many useful tips on your channel, we have subscribed, when is your next video 😅

Very good information.

Hey thank you for these kinds of video! What travel insurance would you recommend someone to buy flying from North America to travel in Turkey?

Baby boy, have you made any videos about Istanbul with the new airport in mind?

I am having hard time how to choose a place to stay….I want to be just steps from food access and transport access ….I will take any suggestion

Hi is it harder for people to get accepted from certain countries and easier for people to get accepted from certain countries like the UK etc where the currency is strong? Is this true? Thanks

What are the fines for overstaying? I can’t find a definitive list. We were trying to get residency, it got rejected, and couldn’t leave within the ten 10 days. We’ll be Leaving on the 17th March. That’s 12 days over from the date of the letter. But our original visa expired on the 3rd of December 22. So now I’m really confused about what needs to be paid! Any ideas? Thanks

How about people who have bought a house thier above the price you mentioned and already have ikamet .. would it be renewed after expiry?

75,000 USD in Purchase of land ? And what about other cities ?I'd prefer to live with locals and adapt to the culture.

Hi there. When you say spend $75k do you mean owning a property that costs $75k or more?

Does this apply for language learning courses too mate ?

Good information,,what about thoes if mother coming with one younger kid to drop,see off and settle another child who got university admission.. For it if mother rent a appartment apply for touristic trc for her self and younger child with student residence permit for other..Will she get touristic trc in this case?

What about other cities in Turkey. Are you referring to only Istanbul?

What about the people that have their ikama but they want to renew it

The same is happening in Izmir. I have been here 2 years and 6 months with no problems. Suddenly they're not allowing foreigners to stay any longer. I was told that lots of foreigners have been "abusing" their ikhamet...but the real reason seems to be because Tayip wants to be seen as strong on immigration before the upcoming elections due to the rising anger in the Turkish population over large numbers of refugees and migrants from neighbouring countries. I was told today that I have 10 days to leave Turkey, where I have a rental agreement, a partner and my cat/whole life. Unless of course I can spend $75,000...which I can't.

I want to be horticulturist, growing food and selling/exporting
