How we get your permit

  1. 1

    Free assessment

    We identify the right permit type for you (tourism, property, family, student) and your chances before any step.

  2. 2

    Preparing the file

    Health insurance for the full period, a notarised lease in an open neighbourhood, sworn translations, and a passport check (60 days longer than the permit).

  3. 3

    Application and appointment

    We complete the online application, book the Migration office appointment and prepare you for the day.

  4. 4

    Follow-up and renewal

    We follow up until the card arrives and remind you when renewal opens, 60 days before expiry.

What you send us

  • A passport copy (valid 60 days beyond the permit requested)
  • Your current permit, if any
  • Your address, lease or title deed
  • Four recent biometric photos
  • Proof of means
  • For family permits: marriage and birth records and the sponsor's income

Before you sign a lease

Since 2022 some neighbourhoods have been closed to new foreign address registrations, and an address there means refusal even with a valid lease. Send us the address before signing and we check the neighbourhood before you commit.

Residency FAQ

When do I renew my Turkish permit?

Renewal opens 60 days before expiry and must be filed before the permit expires in all cases (Article 24, Law 6458). Start early within that window.

How long does a decision take?

The law sets a 90-day maximum (Article 21), and many applications are decided sooner. While pending, you hold a document showing your application is in process.

What property value qualifies for a residence permit?

For property acquired since 16 October 2023: at least US$200,000 based on the title-deed sale value at the purchase-date exchange rate.

Do you handle permits for all nationalities?

Yes, Arab and other nationalities; we prepare each file to its nationality's requirements and the family's situation.

Can I work on a tourism permit?

No. Work needs a separate work permit, and using a permit for another purpose is a ground for cancellation (Article 33).

What are the family permit requirements?

Sponsor income of at least the minimum wage and a third per member, housing and insurance for all, a clean record, one year on a permit (not for spouses of Turks) and address registration (Article 35).
