currency

Hi, I heard from a friend in Istanbul that there's a tax exemption in Turkey which says that if You're paid by a company outside of turkey and That company doesn't have a branch in Turkey and You're paid in a foreign currency then you're exempted from Turkish Income Taxes. Has anyone else...

Maybe a silly question but do the ATM's in Alanya dish out Lira only or can you choose currency? I will be using my card when I'm there as I get paid while we are in Turkey. Just for information - I have a Santander Debit card.

I have noticed that Egyptian currency seems to stay foot while Turkish currency likes to be called yoyo with capital Y. :animation

After reading about problems with the forums currency widget on another thread and noticing Mushtaq has today replaced it, I wondered if any members might like one for their own computer or device. So here's one I knocked up some time ago. To use it download the attached .txt file and save it...

The beleaguered Turkish Lira has become the most fragile currency after the Fed signaled that the lower liquidity environment is coming earlier than expected. The United States’ Federal Reserve (FED) will cut its bond-buying program as part of plans to end a program that served to support its...

Would it be fair to assume it would be best to exchange Sterling to TL in Antalya rather than in the UK. If so where best to exchange, bank / jewelers / other?

I've noticed that Lira has not been available on the Travelex website for some time but Travelex now states that it no longer sells Lira. Seems odd that a firm of this size no longer offers currency for such a popular destination. It's a shame as their rates were generally very good.

I read years ago, turks don't save in tl. Was it dollars? I know they all wanted paid in sterling years ago. Maybe someone might know what the majority do.

Hi, we are moving to Didim at the end of March & was wondering if anyone has moved money to Turkey using a currency exchange & whether it was a relatively easy process or not. Have heard it can save you a lot of money Thanks Marty

I have read that it is better to exchange when once over in Turkey for the best rates - is this true and where would you recommend in Yalikavak? I also noticed that its about 2.8 TL to the £1 - is that about right?

:cheers: Well 3 weeks till we arrive in Altinkum! Very excited as going to be first visit! Had a call from travel agents today and probably a sales pitch but she said there was a shortage on lira due to the euro crisis so wise to get before we go! I thought exchange rate was better in...

Is there a better way than waiting until the lira drops to turn money into sterling. Are there any financial wizards. Would turning lira to another currency then back to sterling be any good.

good afternoon all I am keeping an eye on exchange rates as we fly out to Yalikavak June 9th. I usually fetch sterling and change as and when I need it on the forum page there is a section showing "Lira Exchange Rates" from coinmill.com. could somebody tell me if this is acurate please. best...

Where is the best place in the U.K. to get Lira

Hi all, is it better to change English money while in Turkey or in the UK? Which would be the best rate? Thank you

hi, i am unsure of which currency is best to use, i have been told that sterling and Euros are readily accepted and preferred to YTL, what's your opinion? Additionally rumour has it that a better exchange rate is available when in Turkey; if this is so is there an exchange in Side that anyone...

Hi. I am going to Turkey for the first time on 9th April for a couple of weeks. Can anyone tell me the best way to take currency? Was thinking of exchanging about £200 for Turkish lire before going. Is it better to take less then exchange money there, using my bank card? Thanks! Susan
