Question Hi Vicky, you very kindly recommended a removal company in Turkey to bring my belongings back to England..they WERE very expensive though.
Although I have rented an apartment in Turkey for 5 years, the last 3 of those have been spent back here in England. Whilst living in Turkey I did have aresidents permit, obviously as I've not lived there in so long, I don't have oe anymore. Do I need a valid residents permit in order to ship my things back to the UK?
Answer Hi Gill,
I'm waiting for someone to get back to me on this as I'm not sure. Turkish regulations logic tells me that yes, you would need the residency to export but I'd rather get confirmation from someone who really knows before I say either way. I'll let you know asap.
