Enter Turkey with a Tourist Visa and Stay for 6 Months!
 

It takes courage to start from scratch.

New job, new environment, new culture...

What if things do not go the way you want in this country where you will start your new life?

Instead of worrying about such situations, if you want to have a short rehearsal before starting your new life in Turkey, you can come to Turkey with a tourist visa and stay as you wish from 90 days to 180 days.

Of course, provided that you fulfill some procedures.

You can stay in Turkey between 90 days and 180 days.

However, a tourist visa is not enough for such a long-term stay.

You must first enter Turkey with a tourist visa and then apply for a short-term residence permit.

How to Apply for a Short-Term Residence Permit in Turkey?

 

You can apply for a short-term residence permit in Turkey online on the website of the Republic of Turkey Directorate of Migration Management.

After your application, your appointment will be scheduled and you will be asked to make a payment for your residence application.

Payments may vary depending on your country of citizenship.

After your appointment, if your residence permit is approved, it will be sent to you via PTT.

Individuals who will receive a Short-Term Residence Permit in Turkey should prepare the following documents for application.

 

- Photocopy of passport (The original passport must be presented during the appointment)

- Biometric photograph taken in the last 6 months

- Existing health insurance

 

If you plan to travel in Turkey during your stay, you will be required to declare all your hotel reservations, and if you plan to participate in an educational program, you will be required to obtain approval from the school.

What are the requirements for short-term residence in Turkey?

 

In order to be able to reside in Turkey for a short period of time, it is not enough to obtain a residence permit.

You are required to declare that you have a savings that will provide your livelihood for the 6-month period you will reside in Turkey.

If this income you declare is a standard monthly income, this declaration must be notarized and submitted.

You are also required to declare where you will stay during the 6-month period you will reside in Turkey.

For example; if you own a property, you must submit a copy of the title deed, if you are going to rent a property, a rental agreement, if you are going to stay in a hotel, a confirmation of the reservation, or if you are going to stay with friends, you must submit a document regarding their approval with your application.

It is important to remember that

During this short period of residence in Turkey, you cannot work or earn any income in Turkey.

Doing so illegally may result in deportation or even a ban on entering Turkey.

If you enter Turkey with a tourist visa and fulfill the necessary procedures for residence, you can reside in Turkey from 3 months to 6 months and experience life in Turkey.

While this period is a short-term preliminary plan for living in Turkey, it is also a good opportunity for you to plan your investments and your new life.
