Permits & Citizenship

Apply now for a Residence Permit, Work Permit or Turkish Citizenship

After you have bought your dream home in Turkey, the next step is to acquire your residence permit, if you haven’t done so already. It appears to many that it is sufficient to fill out a form with some assistance from real estate agents or unqualified travel agencies, however in our many years of immigration practice, we have seen that many applications either got rejected or were delayed due to wrongfully submitted documents. This is of no surprise, since the Turkish Immigration Law is known to be very complicated and rapidly changing. Finding solutions to consequences resulting from wrongfully made applications often cost more time, money and stress than hiring an immigration lawyer who is experienced and has the relevant expertise to maximise the possibility of acceptance.
