reigner who wish to stay in Turkey longer than the visa-free period must apply for a residence permit in Turkey. As a property owner in Turkey the process of applying for a residence permit is quite simple, and Celta Homes will of course help you with this!

Foreign nationals wishing to stay in Turkey longer than the visa-free period need to apply for a residence permit at the Turkish Migration Board (Göç Idaresi). Here you can obtain a "residence permit for foreign nationals" to legally live in Turkey longer than the visa-free period. This can be applied for a period of 1-2 years, and can be extended as many times as you want. The residence permit card will be delivered by the state post office to your address, which usually takes 1-3 months.

As an owner of a property in Turkey, it is easier for you to obtain a residence permit in Turkey, compared to if you rent a home in Turkey.

Residence permit extension

If your residence permit expired, you have the right to stay in Turkey until the day of the interview regarding residence permit extension in Göç Idaresi (Turkish Migration Board). At the interview, you will receive a document that allows you to stay in Turkey, as well as travel outside from the country for maximum 15 days, until the final decision of your residence permit extension is issued.

Different types of residence permits in Turkey:

• Short term residence permit, 1-2 years, which can be extended as many times as you want (for property owners, tourists, medical treatment, scientists)
