Hi all,
I am brand new here and brand new in Turkey. I have had a look at the forum but could not find an answer to my following question.
I am about to apply for a residence permit for one year as my wife (Turkish citizen) is going to work from Istanbul for a year. I remain employed by my company in France so I don't qualify for work visa.
My question is around the supporting documents for permit application, especially the ones showing my financial support. Do I have to open a Turkish bank account and transfer money in TL to show the sufficient funds for my stay or could I use my French bank statement with € (once again sufficient funds)? If the latter, is there any translation / other validation steps to fulfill for these French bank statements?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Julien
