Tis 8 years, it is easier to go for nationality. and cheaper in the long term
I'm not out to wind anyone up but.........How is it easier and less expensive to go for nationality?
Has something major been changed regarding getting Turkish Citizenship?
Each to their own opinion on this one. I was looking at the criteria to fulfill each of these and, in my case I think the criteria for long term residence seem harder to fulfill, but I don't have time to debate it.
If foreigners are looking to work in Turkey, they can apply for a Turquoise Card but that's not the easiest thing to come by either.

they had a complete digital setup for taking fingerprint, I did feel like a criminal as I’ve never had this done ever! Also I was surprised about one question they asked me at the police station, they asked if my reason coming to Turkey was due to the pandemic ! they must be having a lot of people arriving due to Covid.In Turkey nothing is set in stone until it's in your hand.
But first time I have heard of having finger-prints being taken, maybe just the area you are in.
No finger prints in alanya, maybe a new thingFinger prints and photos taken at the office for me.
I’m in the same reign as Alva, I’ve no objection to this at all, I suppose it makes the following years application quicker as a for ID. Perhaps this is the new procedure, as it’s my first application I wasn’t sure what to expect.No finger prints in alanya, maybe a new thing
looks like it’s 12 months then for me! Was not informed of any of that by the agent chap sorting it out for me, will now know for next year. Thank youThe introduction of fingerprints & mugshots came in over 3 years ago,but is very hit & miss. I had mine done 2yeas ago at my last renewal in Bodrum. Many GOC offices still are not doing them,but once done i'm not aware of anyone having to repeat that process.
MJL, your term offered will depend on whether you rent or are a property owner &/or if you showed 1 or 2 years health cover .
But the site you posted is for application renewal, the one I used was for first time applications?This site MJL is the only way to apply for an RP & to see if it's being processed & has been in operation for nearly 6 years now..Also you really needed to put the link up for the 2nd screen on that site,where you click on the 3rd box to check. It's not possible to 'track' an application as such ,only find out if it's being processed or not.
