Residency Permit

"What residency options are available for foreign business persons in Turkey?"

Quick Answer

Work permits automatically include residency. Short-term permits are available for business visitors. Investment-based residency has specific thresholds.

Scope and Legal Distinctions

A residence permit and a work permit serve different purposes. Permission to reside does not by itself authorise every employment or commercial activity.

What to Check in Practice

Identify the residence category, supporting purpose, lawful stay and expiry date; check application, address and insurance requirements for that category.
