Common questions

How long does a residence permit take in Turkey?

With our service, most clients see a decision within 1–2 weeks — well inside the 90-day maximum allowed by law. Need it even faster? Ask about our Premium Express Service.

Do I need to be present in Turkey to apply?

Yes — the in-person appointment at the Migration Directorate, including biometric data capture, cannot be completed remotely. We'll prepare everything else in advance to make that appointment quick.

What's the minimum health insurance coverage required?

Coverage must meet the minimum table set by the Insurance and Private Pension Regulation Authority (SEDDK) and run for your full requested permit duration. We'll help you find a compliant policy.

Do you offer ongoing renewal support?

Yes — we send renewal reminders well ahead of your permit's expiry date and can handle the full renewal application when the time comes. Ask us when you get in touch.
