Overstaying in Turkey and Ways to Resolve it

My take on this is:

If you apply for Ikamet before your current (tourist?) visa expires, get the approval and all documents from the local municipal office then your visa can be changed. This may take weeks or even months.

Just buying a property doesn't automatically entitle you to residency, you will also need medical insurance (not cheap!) and be able to prove that you have sufficient funds to support yourself

Others with more knowledge will be along to give better advice.

I have no sympathy for people who are overstaying, why did you not buy in time and have things arranged.

Of course with enough cash things are possible. still why did you overstay? You know the rules.

I am sad
