Professional Guidance for Living Legally in Turkey

Obtaining a Turkish Residence Permit is an essential step for foreign nationals who wish to live in Turkey beyond the duration permitted by their visa or visa exemption. Whether you are relocating for investment, work, education, retirement, family, or lifestyle reasons, our experienced consultants provide comprehensive support throughout the entire application process.

We help you identify the most suitable residence permit category, prepare the required documentation, and ensure your application complies with the latest Turkish immigration regulations.

Types of Turkish Residence Permits

Short-Term Residence Permit

The Short-Term Residence Permit is one of the most common residence options for foreign nationals.

You may be eligible if your stay in Turkey is for purposes such as:

  • Tourism and extended stays

  • Property ownership

  • Business or commercial activities

  • Investment opportunities

  • Participation in training programs or internships

  • Academic research

  • Turkish language courses

  • Medical treatment

  • Other purposes permitted under Turkish immigration legislation

Our advisors evaluate your circumstances and recommend the most appropriate application strategy.

Family Residence Permit

The Family Residence Permit enables eligible family members to reside together in Turkey.

Applications may be available for:

  • Spouses of Turkish citizens

  • Spouses of eligible foreign residents

  • Dependent children

  • Other qualifying family members under Turkish immigration law

We guide families through the application process while ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.

Student Residence Permit

International students admitted to recognized educational institutions in Turkey are generally required to obtain a Student Residence Permit.

This permit is suitable for:

  • University students

  • Graduate and postgraduate students

  • Exchange program participants

  • Academic researchers

  • Language course participants, where applicable

Our team assists students from admission through residence permit approval, helping them begin their academic journey with confidence.

Long-Term Residence Permit

Foreign nationals who have legally resided in Turkey for an extended period may become eligible for a Long-Term Residence Permit.

General eligibility typically includes:

  • At least eight years of uninterrupted legal residence

  • Financial self-sufficiency

  • Valid health insurance where applicable

  • Compliance with Turkish public order and security requirements

A Long-Term Residence Permit provides greater stability for individuals planning to make Turkey their long-term home.

Work Permit as a Residence Permit

A valid Turkish Work Permit also serves as a legal residence authorization.

Foreign nationals holding a Work Permit generally do not need to apply separately for a Residence Permit, as their work authorization includes the right to reside in Turkey for the duration of the permit.

Our consultants advise both employers and employees on the relationship between work and residence status.

Humanitarian Residence Permit

In exceptional circumstances, Turkish authorities may grant a Humanitarian Residence Permit to individuals who qualify under applicable immigration legislation.

Each application is assessed individually based on humanitarian grounds and the relevant legal framework.

Our legal and immigration specialists provide confidential guidance for applicants requiring this type of protection.

General Application Requirements

Although requirements vary depending on the permit category, applicants are commonly required to provide:

  • A valid passport or travel document

  • Completed application forms

  • Biometric photographs

  • Valid health insurance

  • Proof of sufficient financial means

  • Residential address information

  • Supporting documents relevant to the chosen residence category

Our team carefully reviews every document before submission to help minimize delays and ensure compliance with current regulations.
