Types of residence in Turkey

Turkey is among the most prominent countries that enjoy easy granting of all kinds of residency on its territory, without any legal obstacles, unlike many countries that restrict residency conditions on their lands.

Recently, Turkey has worked to expand the government departments concerned with issuing residency permits for foreigners of all kinds, and to provide employees who speak international languages ​​such as Arabic and English, to facilitate communication with foreign applicants.

All residencies are issued by the Security Department (General Directorate of Immigration Management) of the Ministry of Interior, after completing the conditions required for each type.
