Inshalla. (God Willing. )

That is a wonderful video - simple and straightforward.

Good information Mick..thanks! Happy Holidays.

Thanks for recommending a nice local guy. That's wonderful to support ethical people. Do more videos on this as I don't want to drop 250USD on a house just yet until some changes happen there. Language is easy I pick them up every country I live in. Chinese was the hardest. Turkish is a doddle

Thanks again will be following your footsteps one day

Thank you for great information, I love Turkey, I would like to live in a future in this beautiful country 🇹🇷🙏

Fantastic information. Much appreciated!

Hi, I just want to comment on Trudies’ name issue! This matter relates to dual nationality rather than residency, but there may be UK citizens in Turkey who have taken Turkish nationality, and who may get caught out! (Especially women who may have UK passports in maiden names) The UK passport office now require all passports held, to be submitted for a UK passport renewal. You must make sure your name is identical in all passports, before they will renew it! My husband has dual nationality (Turkish and British) An “r” got put in his name some years ago in a clerical error, so his Turkish passport name is 1 letter different to the UK passport! The UK passport office declined to renew his UK passport until this was corrected, and this has been a very long process! This issue could severely delay someone’s travel plans!

Very helpful and clear information. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mick good info ℹ️

Great info, thank you Mick !!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

thanks again for the great info, for me its very usefull. hope that everything works out fine and get my turkish passport soon. just 1 thing, you forgot to mention that if you want a turkish passport, make sure that you still want to hold on to your own passport. (dopuble nationality) very important

thank you for your beautiful videos, love and greetings 💖👍

merry christmas and happy new year mick 🤝👏 hamburg dan selamlar

I want to thank you for this amazing information. Happy Christmas 🎄. Cok tessekuler ederim.

Another way as we did we went to a lovely man called Yakup Yilmas in fethiye he did everything for us for a small fee. He took us to all the relevent places we needed to go to to get all documets sorted.

Thank You so much Mick! Merry Christmas to You and the Mrs!

Hello. We are retired seniors from Texas and are thinking about buying or leasing in Antalya. We easily meet the requirements from your video. Our primary concerns are living in an English speaking community and in an upscale area of the city. We do not care if the home is an apartment or a single family home. Furnished or not. Our issues for you are getting set up for life. Examples are bank accounts, utilities, drivers license, and getting a new car or SUV. Your video addressed the government offices and the need for an agent. We assume they would be licensed by the state to ensure integrity of the people helping. Otherwise anyone could say just give me your passport and then disappear. So the issues are specific locations with the Antalya area if you know them and the topics above for getting set up. We do not need help in arriving in Turkey. Thanks

Good Info Pal !

THANK YOU UNCLE MIKE

Oh thank you just seen this video. I was wondering about health insurance. And residency. X

a small correction Mick..the foreigners who has got already a "permit of residence" (blue book) they have a "kimlik no-id nr. " too which starts 99......until they get citizenship (if they apply) they use this nr. everywhere on any official processes online(like e-devlet) or personally in police office,post,bank.. . and turkish phone number is asking because calling the british or euro. numbers (all over in countey-thousands every summer) would be a huge cost for the offices and much easier for communication.I live abroad too as a turkish i had to give always a number of that country where i want to live..and believe me in turkey these things work much better ,friendly than in italy,france and in many countries:)))

Very informative - lovely videos

That's excellent thanks for the information

Thanks for the info. Would love to see an extra video on Long Term Residence permits. This is a big topic among our expats in izmir. We all disagree on many aspects.

Thank you for sharing 🤗

Hi folks, great videos and teal helpful advice, much appreciated.. I'm toying with the idea of relocating from UK to Turkey, get a small aprt mainly around the south Mediterranean coast area and would like to get your views on which areas would be kinda ideal for me... Thanx for your help, keep up the good work,always look forward to seeing what's new... Stay safe and be well the both of you...

So Geniune thank you

Thank You so much for the precious information and guidance.

Thank you sir hello from moscow

Another Very Informative Professional Video from Mick and Trudie, Awesome !!!

Merry Christmas Mick Amca and Trudy! ☮️❤🎶

Thank you for information

Please do an updated video Mikey boy!

Hi Mick & Trudie. Thank you very much for all the clips on Turkey. You've done a marvellous job enlighting us on the ins & outs of life and living in Turkey. May I please ask why you'd decided to settle in Fetiye?

Mick and Trudie thank you for your information regarding the residency and the renting info . I would like to ask you where’s the best place to live within reasonable price. Maybe renting for a year first. Please thank you.

Thank you so much Mick! I have so many friends in London who keeps asking me "how they can move to Turkey?" etc. Now I will forward your links. Great job! 🥰👍🏻💝

Hi Mike great work can u make a video on good rental areas for propeeties for investing purpose thank u

good on u all...

Nice info! Don't loose your hat Amca!

The current rule allows getting a 1-2 year tourist residence permit which can be renewed on the basis of an apartment rental contract.

Very informative and helpful information thank you for that :) would it be possible for you to make a video about the life costs and so That would very nice much of luck have an nice day :)

You two are great. Thanks for your hard work and beautiful&informative videos. Turkey is the ideal country for people who want to move away from western European countries. But still, I can see that products&properties are more expensive for foreigners than for locals (which is totally ok). I´m preparing to move out of Germany myself with my wife and have been looking for properties and land for over two years. The fact that I have Turkish roots makes many things easier for me. I plan to give advice and help others who want to take this step. From finding the right region and the dreamhouse to mastering the whole (complicated) process of buying it and even helping in the integration process. Do you think this could help people who want to take this step but don´t dare?

Wow sir video start is awesome

Great informative video

Hi Mick & Trudie. Thank you very much for all the info regarding the buying of a property in Turkey and how to apply for residency. Is Antalya City a good and safe place to live in? I mean cost of properties, Health care & general cost of living. Thank you in anticipation.

Yes the residency permit is a pain. But you can stumble through it. Have done it a few times. One problem a few people come across. The website locks up at a certain point. Our solution. Have someone who speaks turkish and change the language to turkish. Not sure if they fixed this glitch yet.

Great information thanks

Hi beautiful couple I’m from Sydney I’m izmirli I have been living in Sydney for 50 years I been to Turkey 3 times I love it thanks mick and Trudie for showing it

Hi, Firstly- we love your videos! 😁👍🏼 secondly - we are moving over in a few weeks and want to start the residency process. We’d like to speak to Yaqub, but can’t find his details. could you share them again please? thanks very much.

Great video.

Thanks for it!

Will appreciate if you can let us know the expenses involved for buying a property, other than the cost of property, like govt tax, tapu, lawyer fee, notary,etc. How much does all these cost to a buyer looking to buy a 1+1 or 1+2 apartment. Thanks & Regards,

You are absolutely right Mick Amca about state system's hiccup because I live abroad and when I want to use state website asking me Turkish phone number. It's ridiculous , isn't ?

It was not easy back in 2006 but we got there in the end. Your comment about the smoking made me laugh and brought back memories. Great informative Video. Happy Christmas to both of you. Patricia 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi, it’s super video with lots of information. Can you suggest whether one should buy the house in Asian or European side. Especially if someone is looking property surrounded with the greenery.

Hi Mick thank you for your RU-vid videos. How can we get the changes of rules information for the residentcy? Thank you

Mick you are doing well, try to provide specific details of each topic. I.e step 1 Documents required for TRC Website where to fill out form Fees include

Thanks for your video, very helpful. Questions, if I may- I noticed you said you could put your hotel address for your residency permit. You don't have to put your to-be permanent address? Also, some out here are curious that if you pay for your year's rental contract, what happens if you're denied? Refund on the cancellation? He does that work? Sorry so dumb. Thanks so much! 😊

Hey Mick, this is great.

hi Michael And Trudie, great information on your videos, can you please tell me what is the rough cost for all the process to get my Ikemat for over 65s reg Patrick in Scotland

Bayramın kutlu olsun Mick amca 🐣☺️ Türkiye’mizi çok güzel tanıtıyorsun💖

9:33 he said he charges 350 TL per person , but was translated (CC) as 350 Euros....

VERY NICE AND INFORMATIVE.I VISITED TURKEY BACK IN 1993.NOW AFTER WATCHING YOUR VLOG I HAVE STARTED PONDERING TO RETIRE IN ONE OF THE CITIES SHOWN IN YOUR POSTS.IS HOUSEHOLD HELP AVAILABLE IN TURKEY? AND HOW MUCH IT COSTS? AS MY WIFE ALWAYS NEED SOME ONE'S HELP IN HER HOUSEHOLD CHORES.

Turkish red tape🧐 Dealing with it was an absolute nightmare. Hope things get better.

Can you do an update video please on the new rules

Thanks Mick

Lovely couple with a lovely British accent. Love from New Delhi.

Thank you so much for the priceless advice and information. One question, I've heard from a few people that it's quite essential to learn the turkish language if you plan to live or have extended stays in Turkey, is that so? Can one get by without especially reading and writing Turkish? Thanks again. Seasons Greetings 🎄🎉🎆
