From Greece to Where ... exactly

Hi Yes like previoius said,
On the left as you enter the senia trading estate, think its called Depot tank company, that's where I bought mine last year

The holding tanks situation is as I say irksome and is unlikely to go way. Plastic holding tanks seem to last longer than stainless steel ones but I have yet to find a supplier for plastic ones in Turkey, maybe someone reading this knows. At the moment the choices are Tek tanks or a locally made stainless device.

Edit: As far as I know a portapoti is acceptable but you may have difficulty finding convenient places to empty it. They now have pumpout boats in many bays (and they should be free - we have never paid for a pumpout) - so they are slowly getting their act together.

this is a fairy complex and contentious issue and they are always mauling it about. the tourist visa is a 180 day visa and lets you stay in the country for a maximum of 90 days, so from the time you first buy your visa to the time it expires in 180 days you may spend 90 days in Turkey. You have to be out of Turkey for 1 day after the 180 days has expired before you can buy another visa. Lots of people try to produce convoluted arguments and circumstances that could/might circumvent these rules but they are mistaken. You are now able to buy these visas on-line. £10 for a Brit.

The solution for a yottie is to purchase a 12 month residency visa with the cruising LOG, the agent will arrange it sorry I don't know the cost but its not excessive, it works out to be multiples of the Tourist visa - roughly.

Some say you need a marina contract but this is not so - find another agent.

The consular office just mooted that there may be some changes to the residency visa, at a first inspection it looks like another case of unintended outcomes so lets not dwell on those yet awhile - but they will only affect people staying over 8 years - IT SEEMS AT THE MOMENT

The tourist (as opposed to the resident visa) is tied up with international tax norms - if you have been more that 6 months in any country you are automatically a tax-resident. Most countries have a double-taxation arrangement (the official list http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cnr/withholding-tax.pdf), so if you're taxed in one country and spend in another you don't have to pay twice.
Nearly every country is strapped for cash and will be trying to maximise its tax base - so those who blunder, unaware, into residency are more likely to find their taxes unfairly increased, rather than reduced.

Not really a problem in Turkey as you have to prove financial self sufficiency, at a fairly low amount, to get a Residents permit , it is extremely difficult to get a Work Permit , the test for primary taxation is "where the money is earned", and there is a double taxation agreement with the UK.

Many people have got RP under the category of Yacht Tourism, as on the form given to us by Finike Marina, and no financial details have been needed,to obtain up to 5 year RP's. Although, obviously you will need a marina contract to do this, most people only have 6 month contracts and many have got RP's for two years or more.
