  • Long-term Residence Permit: After eight years of continuous residence in Turkey, foreigners may apply for a long-term permit, which grants them the right to stay indefinitely.
  • Family Residence Permit: This permit allows the spouses and children of Turkish citizens or residence permit holders to reside in Turkey legally.
  • Student Residence Permit: Foreign students enrolled in educational institutions in Turkey can apply for this permit, allowing them to stay for the duration of their studies.
  • Humanitarian Residence Permit: Special circumstances may warrant a humanitarian residence permit, which we can assist you in applying for.
