Hello Everyone.

I currently live in Australia.

I am a diploma holder. I want to move to turkey and settle down, but do not have proper information.

Do i need have a job offer or enrolled in a university before applying for a residence permit. I am very confused. I need help

 Hmm... what does it mean this ?

.....it may be..........or.....??

 Why was not "australia" and "Turkey" ? 

Ahh yes!!

What are you two going on about

No you do not need a job to get residency just money to pay for your residency depending on how long you want,  you can only get one year to start with ,which works out about 800 to a 1000 lira for the year ,but after that you can get up to another four years ,thats if you are rich and can afford the four years , you also have to prove you can support yourself financially for the year ,so you will have to show evidence of your bank account, apart from a bit running around to get different stamps put on your forms ,its quite easy to obtain:oh and you need a rental contract too .unless you are reallyyyyyyyyyy rich and can afford to buy your property good luck

 Heard it went up to to 2000 hope im wrong .

for one year ! i flippin hope not mine is due in Jan
