I prefer to read the original post made by Denise and put her requirements into perspective rather than relying on the topic of the thread alone.

Denise wants to settle in Turkey by May 2006,

Medical issues are also important as is the transportation and entry of her guide dog,

Furniture isnt an issue and can easily be arranged.

Maybe we do things a little differently here on Turkish Living but 99/100 the member gets their answer and the advice to help make the right choice.

I would personally recommend that Denise applies for a residency permit from the UK in order to allow her furniture entry transit into Turkey and if the settlement works out well then consider dual nationality at a later date.

Unlike some forums, there is a whole wealth of information hidden in the depths of Turkish Living contributed by many knowledgeable members. A few days going through this resource can often prompt other questions as well as answer many others.

wow that was a scarey post from Sally! enough to put anyone off applying for citizenship!

I agree with Merlin on this ... Look into applying for residency from here in the UK, it is a lot easier doing things like that in a country that speaks your own language.

as far as taking your Guide dog with you .. you should have no problem, There is a thread on taking animals into Turkey here

Good Luck Denise ... & dont be afraid to ask more questions, the members here have a wealth of knowledge!!

Re: How to become a Citizen....

Not quite sure about this but I am sure I read a post in the past that if you get citizenship you are then eligble for army service! in theory that is.Dont know if it applies to male/female or age or health restrictions.
