Turkish residency

[esb1841]

Hi, It's the rules about the value of your property that worries me ,our appartment in kussdasi is not worth the amount they say, I think it says it has to be worth around 70,000 usd, my wife and I will be so upset if it is true. Just have to Hope and pray things change again, or does not effect us ,fingers crossed.

Have you checked the real estate ads for Kusadasi 99.9% of apartments are all over 70,000 USD some are over 100,000 USD there are a couple of 1 bedroom apartments for below 70,000 usd but there are in the middle of nowehere

Hi Scotty, our RPs expired during covid when we couldn't renew. We came out this April on the usual 3 month visa, and applied for new RPs a month before we left, at the end of June. All first time and renewal of EXPIRED RPs now only get a 6 month tourist RP in a new rule since May 7th. (Renewal of valid existing RPs is not affected).
They were issued in a week and dated to the application date, NOT the date of entry to Turkey. This has given us 8.5 months access to Turkey which is plenty for us.
The cost is based on US $, $25 for the first month and $5 per month thereafter. The cost hasn't changed in years but is paid in TL, and subject to $/TL exchange rate fluctuations.

We have all been talking about this a couple of days the new list of names are on it but we think it's for new Rp. Not for people who are registered as living in Turkey now, only new applicants.
I've just read the last paragraph of the post I'm not sure that's on the other post about 21 April 2022 about must own a property. Maybe it's the way it's been translated.

Foreigners will no longer be able to rent in some neighborhoods in 15 districts in Istanbul and 2 districts in Antalya, which are most affected by foreign migration. Such a decision was taken based on the article of the law, as foreigners constitute more than 20 percent of the total population in some districts.

Yabancýlar kiralarýný ödeyemiyor

Yeni Mesaj'a konuþan bir emlakçý, fýrsatçý bir anlayýþla çok yüksek bedellerden kiralama yapan ev sahiplerinin bugünlerde piþmanlýk yaþadýðýný söyledi. Zira hemen ev bulma telaþý ile yabancý uyruklular fiyatýna bakmaksýzýn evleri tuttu ancak þimdi özellikle Antalya ve Alanya’dan gelen haberler...

It seems to be stating that in the areas that have more than 20% foreign population renters will no longer have a RP approved

Thanks esb1841. So you mean this is only for the neighborhoods listed above. If I move to the neighborhood not listed above MAY not be affected?

Thats my understanding

STOÇ Businessmen's Association Board Member Şenay Vehicle Demir stated that new foreigners cannot rent in 15 districts in Istanbul and 2 districts in Antalya, which are most affected by foreign migration, and that this situation will balance the rental prices.
Now the landlords will not be able to raise the prices any more by saying that I can rent or sell them to foreigners for whatever price I want.
However, foreigners who have obtained their title deeds before should not worry, because they will be able to continue to receive residence permit renewals,” Demir said.

I know I have to buy over 75k USD to get a residency as a property owner category, but I would like to buy less than that and apply as a tourism category. The property will be my principal residence. Is it still available? Is a foreigner still allowed to buy a house less than 75k USD in big cities?

It makes no difference what the property is valued at,but if it's under $US75,000 then you'll get an RP of 'touristic 'status.
At present Zafer Mahallesi in Denizli district is closed to foreigners even if moving from another province within Turkiye.

Thanks REDDERS. Your explanation is very clear and it is so nice to mention about the area in Denizli.
