  Offered: Turkish Ltd. Company  
 

Are you thinking of opening a Turkish Ltd. company?

This is the only type of company a foreigner can open in Turkey, and costs around 4,000TL to open. I currently have an LTD company which is no longer needed – rather than paying hefty closure fees, I am looking for someone I can "give" the company too. This basically involves a process at the Noter where I sign over my shares to you, and then change the company name and address to suit you, making the company entirely yours.

It still costs around 3,500TL which I am willing to pay, but is quicker and cheaper than the costs of closing a company. This is very common practice in Turkey, it is fully legal and legit, and I have a good English speaking accountant who will do all of the leg work involved. If you have any questions, please contact me.

  Koçtaş has moved  
 
Koctas

The Koçtaş store has moved - not far though - the new superstore has opened on the same road, about 500m closer to Bodrum.

The new store is next to the West Marine store which opened a few months ago. Ironically perhaps, the new shop is on the site of the old Önderler DIY store.

If you have a question let us know. The full list of 89 Questions can be viewed on the website - HERE.

 
  New Questions:  
 

NEW: Q90: Has anyone found clear pickling vinegar anywhere? I have looked in Kipa, Migros and Metro without luck; I can only find grape vinegar (which is brown) or apple/cider (which is yellow).

A90: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

 
  New Answers:  
 

Q86: Is there any way you can buy a car and a telephone landline in Turkey without being a resident? My problem is that we are moving to Turkey in May and are reluctant to give up our right to NHS treatment over here should we need it, having paid into it all our lives. Is there any way these things can be got round does anyone know. I would be very grateful for anyone's help.

NEW: A86.1: As far as I know there is no link between rights for NHS in the UK and being a resident here. If you apply for CITIZENSHIP then that's different. I lived here for 5 years on residency permits, visas and work permits and still use NHS services when I am in the UK. I am not aware that the British government can see residence permit applications as Turkey is a country that requires a visa/residence permit. If you are not paying tax in the UK they still let you use services such as the NHS as you are a citizen of the UK but you would not be entitled to benefits if you live here longer per year than in the UK. The only benefits you would still legally be entitled to is a disability and carers allowance if your doctor states you have a better quality of life in Turkey. --Amy

New: A86.2: Broadly speaking, if you are out of the UK for 3 months or more from a year you will no longer be eligible for free NHS treatment, regardless of past contributions. Have a look at the website HERE for more details. Any efforts to bypass this could be considered as fraud. You should be aware that the Turkish health service here is often quicker, better value, and surpasses UK treatment levels.

Q79: Does anyone know if it is legal for electricity cables and telephone cables to be run overhead across our land to property behind - even if there is a road to the side of us?

NEW: A79.1: If the cables were run overhead of the property after the property was built, then the owner can write a written request to have it removed to the local authorities. Of course it is better to try and sort it out with the people involved first. --Beatrice
