UK Certificate of retirement????
OK so I now have my 2-year residence permit and we were out in Turkey from july to 12th October which was fantastic but we were paying 300 Euro a month to rent an awful car so want to progress to getting a car in Turkey
So looking at the paperwork I can bring a UK car in for the two years of my permit on the condition i am retired
Turkish residency permit bassed on retirement? Check
BUT
They need a certificate of retirement from my home country (UK)????
I am only 56? so this could prove a problem. I will be "retired" but living off rental income as a pension so does that count as "retired?"
This is all a bit mad
Any one successfully done this before?
Thinking of buying a second-hand LHDrive car and driving back out in December for 6 months. Ironically this would be OK if we didnt have a residancy permit? Which is mad as max stay otherwise is 90 days
I am also massivly confused that id be given a 6month permit but I could apply to extend it to 2 years?????
The information is just so confusing.
Was going to give up till I found the Skoda Kodiaq I wanted 2.0 Deisel SE was about 35k new in the UK but a meer 998,000tl in Turkey???
So for a saving of £75,000 I was thinking some hassle might be worth it
