When we relocate we intend to get a residency permit for one year so we can import our goods and get a phone.

My question is, can we after the year then revert to a tourist visa and if we wanted, at a later date, go back to a residency permit.

Does anyone know the best place to go to renew a tourist visa from the Side area.

I hope you mean a residence permit, because a residence visa and residence permit are not the same thing. If you do get a residence visa for one year, you will have also to get a residence permit, so don't bother with the residence visa as it is a waste of time and money.

hi Paddington..
yes you can do that..you can also get a residency for 6 months..up to 5 years
whatever date your residency runs out you can get a 3 month visa by going over to Cypress from Alanya..in the season..ie April to October..
in the winter time you can fly over from Antalya..or go down to Taşacu..about 6 hours the ferries are year round.

if you only get your residence permit for one year does that not mean that customs will only allow temp import of your goods for one year??
