Important Updates: Obtaining Certain Residence Permits Becomes More Challenging In Türkiye

For many years, Türkiye maintained a relatively generous residence permit system, allowing many foreign nationals without local employment or family ties to obtain residency with minimal requirements. However, since 2023, the process has become significantly more restrictive. In particular, short-term touristic residence permits are now subject to much stricter adjudication, and the majority of applications are denied or granted for a very limited validity. Other residence permit categories remain available and less affected, but the short-term touristic option is no longer a practical solution for many foreigners wishing to reside in Türkiye.
