        Thank you for your comment.

        If you would like to stay in Turkey permanently, you are supposed to purchase a property here. Otherwise, if you find an employer in Turkey, you will be allowed to stay in the country for as long as your work permit will be valid.

    7. Good morning,
      Hope you are doing well.
      I have a question regarding remote work. I am currently employed in Denmark, and I have a contract with the company. I am here on a short term visa, since I just finished university and now I am waiting for the danish government to process my application to leave to Denmark. Do I need to apply for a work permit? or is it completely legal to work remotely?
      Best Regards

      1. Hello,
        Thank you for your comment.

        If you are working remotely for a company abroad and do not receive salary from Turkey, you are not obliged to obtain work permit.

    8. Hello,

      I had a residence permit as an intonational student, I lost my card and I am already in the process of having it again, they told me it could take a month for my reissued permit to arrive. Is it possible for me to go out of Turkey before my permit arrives? I already had it but I lost the card and its already being processed the reposition of the new one, I just want to make sure I won’t have issues going out or inn of Turkey without the card. For me it makes sense that they have register in the system that I have a residence permit, but I wanna make sure they won’t try to charge me for staying longer than a simply tourist.

      Thank you

      1. Hello,
        Thank you for your comment.

        You should ask Immigration Office to issue a document stating that you are currently a residence permit holder to use it during entering Turkey by the time the new card will be delivered to you.

    11. Good day,
      I am a South African citizen traveling in Turkey on a tourist visa (30 days). The visa is only valid for 30 days within a 180 period, however I would like to extend my visa for an additional 30 days as I would like to continue traveling in Turkey.
      How do I go about this process and is it possible for me to get a visa extension if my original visa is only valid for a period of 30 days? Or would I have to apply for a new visa of 30 days?

      1. Hello,
        Thank you for your comment.

        In order to extend your stay, you would need to apply for residence permit. Application procedures last up to 90 days and you can stay in Turkey legally during the process, however, you are not supposed to leave the country after your visa expires and before you receive residence permit card.

        Kind Regards,

        Thank you for your comment.

        Residence permit application procedures take up to three months. You can leave Turkey and come back for as long as your visa will be valid, however you must be present in Turkey for your appointment date. After your visa would expire, you can stay legally in Turkey if your application is already lodged in the system. You can read about governmental fees in our article below:

    13. Hello,

      I finished my interview of short-term residence permit in Istanbul today.

      My question is if I can go abroad now and come back with a new visa.

      Or I have to stay here in Turkey until I receive the email of approval.

      Thank you very much in advance.

      1. Hello,
        Thank you for your comment.

        You can obtain a document from Immigration Office allowing you to leave Turkey for 15 days. You are not supposed to exceed this period of time as you would need to obtain new visa to re-enter Turkey and your residence permit application might be cancelled.

      1. Hello,
        Thank you for your comment.

        3 days of your stay in Turkey after expiration of your residence permit will be considered as overstay and most probably you will need to pay a small fine. You can read more about the amounts of fines in our article below:
        The consequences of overstaying in Turkey

        Please, be informed that the final decision on the amount of fine will be taken by the customs at the airport and it can differ from the official amounts.

      I have a question regarding my work permit. I am from Kosovo and I am currently working in Gaziantep Turkey, my work permit is going to expire on May 13th. My company has submitted the paper worm for the new work permit and I am waiting to receive it by mail at the PTT, but I have to travel back to Kosovo for a business trip on the 29th of April and I still haven’t received my new work permit, my return date is May 13 which is also the expiration date on my Work Permit. Will I be able to reenter Turkey, or is this going to be an issue. If yes, what can I do? Is there some kind of paperwork that I can get to present at the airport so that they will allow me to reenter?

      Thanks in advance!

      1. Hello,

        If your work permit would not be received before you leave Turkey, you should take with you any document stating that your extension application was approved. Also, if in the meantime work permit would be received by your employer, they should send you a scan of your card to be printed and presented at the airport.

    27. If we will take a building in turkey on rent for hostel purpose.
      It is legally allowed from government or not to use any flat or building as hostel..

      1. Hello,
        Thank you for your comment.

        If you would like to run a hostel in Turkey, you will need to establish a company first. You must also obtain work permit in order to do business activity within the country. To obtain work permit for yourself as an owner, your company’s paid capital must be at least 100.000 TL and there must be 5 Turkish citizens employed per each foreigner in the company including yourself.

      1. Hello,
        Thank you for your comment.

        You can only apply for residence permit after you enter Turkey and before your visa expires. Application procedures can take up to three months. If you purchase a property in Turkey, you can apply for residence permit for property owners, which is possible to extend multiple times. You do not have to be a residence permit holder to purchase real estate in Turkey.

        Best Regards,
