Residence Permit

According to Law No. 6458 'On Foreigners and International Protection,' residence permits can be obtained by foreign citizens through the provision of required documents directly related to determining the type of residence permit.

Foreign citizens who own residential property in Turkey and use it for this purpose have the right to obtain a residence permit, with the option to renew it. However, there are areas where obtaining a residence permit is not possible. Due to the high density of foreign citizens residing in certain regions, the issuance of initial residence permits has been suspended. Foreign citizens who already have a Residence Permit in these areas are entitled to its renewal. There are a total of 1169 such areas across the country. These areas include: certain districts in Antalya (Limankent, Hurma, Sarısu), in Alanya (Avsallar, Mahmutlar, Kestel, and Kargıcak), and in Istanbul some micro-districts in Şişli, Esenyurt, Zeytinburnu, Bahçelievler, and others.
