Residency

Ali, you will have to go to the main Polis Station in your region.  You will need to take the following;

(1) passport with five years still left in use for the max cover if you only have four years on your passport you will have to renew in four years and so on,
(2) five passport size photos
(3) photocopy of tapu x 2
(4) photocopy of passport photo page
(5) phoyocopy of latest visa stamp page also on passport
(6) photocopy habation license
(7) 149 lira which is a one off payment for your ikamet book + around 50tl for each years residency that you apply for.

If you don't own the house where you are resident, then you will have to take a copy of your Tenancy Agreement and a copy of a recent bank statement.

I think the process after this may vary depending on the region in which you are staying.  I went to Aydin police station and then you go to the local tax office to pay the fee.  I then had to return a week later to collect the residency permit booklet (ikamet).

Hope this helps
