Deep legal knowledge. Always reachable.
Bosphorus Immigration is a specialist Turkish immigration firm. We combine genuine expertise in Law No. 6458, Migration Directorate procedure, and notarial practice with the responsiveness and transparency that residence permit applications demand. You'll always know what's happening — and why.
Built for newcomers, not just clients.
We started Bosphorus Immigration because we saw the same problem repeat itself: people relocating to Turkey — property owners, remote workers, families — hitting unnecessary delays, missed appointments, and rejected applications, often because their adviser didn't communicate clearly or proactively.
Turkey's residence permit system is well-structured — but it isn't self-explanatory. The process involves an online application system, in-person appointments, address registration, and health insurance requirements that interact in ways that aren't obvious without deep experience.
Bosphorus Immigration exists to provide that expertise — and to deliver it in a way that keeps you informed at every step. We handle the paperwork, the translations, and the appointment logistics. And we tell you exactly what we're doing, and why, throughout.
How we work.
Three core commitments — and three supporting practices that make them real in every engagement.
Always reachable
We respond the same day and proactively update you at every milestone — you'll never have to chase us to find out where your application stands. Fast communication isn't a perk; it's how we work.
Full transparency
No hidden steps, no unexplained fees, no surprise requirements. We tell you exactly what we're doing, why each document is needed, and what the next milestone looks like — before it happens.
Grounded in legal expertise
Our team has deep knowledge of Law No. 6458, Migration Directorate procedure, and notarial practice. You get substantive legal advice — not just form-processing.
Genuinely bilingual
Bilingual doesn't just mean we translate. It means we advise and explain in both Turkish and English at the same level of precision — so nothing is lost in translation.
One point of contact
You work with a single dedicated case handler from start to finish — no handoffs, no re-explanations, no gaps between teams.
Long-term relationship
Approval is the beginning, not the end. We stay available as your situation evolves — for renewals, family additions, and eventual long-term status.
Two core services.
We specialise in getting foreign nationals legally settled in Turkey — from an individual short-term permit to bringing a whole family together.
Short-Term Residence Permit
Apply for a Short-Term Residence Permit in Turkey. We handle eligibility assessment, document preparation, e-ikamet filing, and your Migration Directorate appointment.

Every engagement follows the same structured process — clear milestones, proactive updates, and no surprises.
Initial consultation
We respond to every new enquiry within one business day. We start by understanding your situation — purpose of stay, family circumstances, timeline, and any prior visa history. No generic advice; everything is tailored.
Custom checklist
You receive a precise document checklist based on your permit type and nationality — with clear explanations for each item. No unnecessary requests, no missing items.
We handle the filings
Once we have your documents, we take over entirely. We keep you updated at each stage — you'll know when the application is submitted, when your appointment is scheduled, and what's still pending.
Handover and beyond
When your permit is approved, you receive your card and a compliance calendar for your first year — including your renewal deadline. We remain available for questions long after handover.
