Just got an email back from a Turkish foundation that campaigns for , amongst other things, stricter gun laws in Turkey.

Foreigners can legally obtain gun licenses in Turkey if they have a work permit and will be in the country more than 6 months. That is the law. Although I suspect it varies from region to regio depending on how much the police can be ar*ed with doing the paperwork.

So, there you go. Any jock, geordie, scouser, cockney, brummie , etc can have his own handcannon if he doesn't want a brick.

I can now correct my earlier post about hotels not turning away unmarried couples. It happened to us two days ago.

The irony was that we had actually tried to get married that day but due to a meeting in the town hall we could not get all the paperwork done on time. We decided that as hot water is in short supply in my mother-in-law's house and I really didn't want to get wed without washing my hair we would stay in a hotel overnight.

The first hotel in my husband's small Karadeniz hometown we turned down, the toilets hadn't seen bleach for many a long year. The second one turned us away cos no marriage licence.

BTW why can't Turks clean western style toilets properly? And why do the houses and apartments not have hot water. My apartment is brand new and sicak su yok grrrrrr!

Planning?!! In Turkey?!!!

Well it was like this, our wedding party is not for 3 more weeks but we decided to marry this week before hubby applies for his visa to visit my family in the UK in May.

Anyway hubby rang the town hall here in Samsun and found out what he would need however, we decided to marry in his hometown in Fatsa. He turned up at the town hall and was told there was a meeting in progress that would last until 5 o clock. He was told we would both need a medical test as required by Turkish law. Logically we could have used the afternoon to do that then return at 5 but oh no, before the medical test the town hall have to issue a document so that was not possible.

Yesterday morning we had to go back again to the town hall, submit our documents for the second time then spend all morning trapsing the muddy streets of Fatsa (me in a posh frock) to go to one clinic to get a document, then to another clinic for the blood test then back to the first clinic for a talk to the doctor. The talk along the lines of 'is there any deadly disease in your family/do you know about contraception?' bla bla

Finally after all this romance is over you can return to the official and get married.

I am sure you have already got your Certificate of No İmpediment from the consulate, the official in Fatsa spent a good 15 minutes puzzling over that I think he had never married a foreigner before.

Anyway congratulations to you, I hope it all goes smoothly in June.

Yes we are as we have a business here. I will stay for about 2 months (as allowed by my non-resident tax status) my husband will come back earlier.

Would it be rude to ask what business you are in?

Yip, we have done all those health tests. When you say town hall are you talking about evlendirme dairesi?

No Thrifty it is not rude, we have set up an agency sending people abroad on language programmes and work travel.

DMB, it was the belediye where we got married, good you are steps ahead of us if you got your health tests done so early, you should have no problems.

BTW what exactly do the tests check? I saw hepatitis and HIV but I didn't understand the other abbreviations on the form and was feeling to stressed out to really think about it. Would be nice to know what diseases I haven't got!

You need an x-ray for TB which you get from the Veren savas. Then there is a third thing that blood test checks(I can't remember what it is though)

tarte tatin · Joined: 02 Mar 2007 Posts: 247 Location: Istanbul

Oh we didn't have to have an x-ray. I think everything depends on where you are in Turkey. When my boyfriend called the town hall in Samsun they didn't even mention a medical.

I know of someone else who never even bothered getting the certificate of no impediment, he just turned up at a registry office and was married with no hassle.

BTW I want to register my marriage in England, do I have to do that here through the consulate or can I wait til I go to England next month?
Actually, I should find that out pretty soon if you don't know!'
