I have a question with regards to the residence permit. As far as I know I need to show a bank statement however I will be taking my money in cash with me. I am planning to open up a turkish bank account to put the cash into but would I need the residence permit first in order to open up the bank account?
If you don´t need it to open a bank account is it ok to show the foreign police your funds in the turkish bank account?
The reason I am prefering to take cash with me is because my current bank account in my home country likes to charge a lot of interest when you take money out of the atm abroad!
Appreciate any help.

Yes, you can open bank account and get a debit card in here, just they wont give you a credit card.

So I would just show my passport to open an account?

hmm I think you need to prove you are living in Turkey though, like a rental address or anyone would be able to come over here on holiday and open an account and get better interest rates

Not enough - you need a Turkish tax number and an address in Turkey to open a bank account there.

We are not using tax number in Turkey. Yes, you are right we had it, but instead of that using citizenship number now for everything and she is not Turkish, that´s why she won´t need it. She can use her job address to open new bank account too. The impossible thing is communication with her and they can use that address.

Even if you are not Turkish, you will get a citizenship number (or perhaps it´s not really called that, but I do have a kind of number!). I am not Turkish, and I have one simply because I got a job in Turkey. It is basically the same as the tax-number, just a different name I guess My employer did the paper work, it received my number and I could open a bank account with that.
