Turkish Resident Permit Services
We have extensive experience in Turkish resident permit services for foreign citizens.
Unfortunately, touristic resident permits are not available in Turkey anymore. That means one can’t rent an apartment, apply, and get a resident permit.
To get a resident permit, the applicant must purchase a residential property for more than 75,000 USD in Istanbul and other big cities. This amount is 50,000 USD in smaller cities.
Secondly, one can set up a company and apply for a work permit, this work permit comes with residency for the applicant and his wife and kids under 18. But one must have 5 Turkish employees working for his company when one applies for a work permit.
Third, one or his spouse must be admitted to a Turkish University for 4-year university education. Language courses are not accepted.
Finally, one can apply for a residence permit by a hospital admittance.
