I’m in Turkey and I decided to get the 1 year residency so that I have a home base I know I can be in if everywhere else closes their borders

You decided to stay for a pandemic in a dictatorship country with internet suppression and in open conflict with 3-4 neighbors? I can't fathom why

[QuiXotical1]

You watch the news too much

[biolurker1]

No, these are facts not subjective stuff.

A nomad friend of mine from Argentina moved in with me here in Turkey and she had a appointment from the immigration office on 10th November, applying for 1 year visa extension. Any tips that might be useful on the process?

Honestly I don’t think they’re too strict here. If you don’t have a criminal record I’d say just be pleasant and she’ll be fine. Hope it goes well though!

Thank you. 1 week left to the appointment. Are they checking the money you have very seriously? Min exact amount etc for 1 year residence, or they are not strict on that?

Is this appointment for a Residency Permit? I think it varies greatly by the location of the immigration office. In Fethiye, it was easy.

Anyone else here in Fethiye? :) It would be great to meet.

How does this work? 1 year visa?

It's called a Residency Permit - just google it. The length of time depends on your nationality, but it's 1 year for citizens of an OECD country.
