Hi there, getting a bit confused on here.
Where/how do I start a new post?
I know I've done it before, but can't seem to work out where/how now!
Please help!!
ANyway, just wanted to say that if anyone has read about having to have residency/foreign kimlik no. to buy/sell a property in Didim, then it is also now stated that his has been cancelled as has not been thought through for those people holding Power of Attorney for others (without having to provide this 99 number!)
However you do have to have residency to buy/sell a car & also to have a phone connection, so it 'sort' of makes sense!!
It's sounding like you need to go to the residency office to get this number to keep phone-lines active even if you don't have residency - but to be fair, I am not completely sure - best to ask someone like Sami Isik what the current laws are if you have any problems as he is keeping up to date with it all.
Personally, we were getting concerned as still own a villa there we are trying to sell (my husband has POA for me) & don't know whether our previous 'kimlic' numbers as residents were still valid!!
Anyway, sounds like new 'law' is cancelled - yet again - which seems to be quite normal for Turkey!
