How to get Turkey Residence Permit- Step by Step Complete Guide 

Which of the requirements do you think is the hardest to get?

Thank you Alex. As always really helpful, super accurate, and totally correct. Thanks to your helpful videos, I have also currently moved to Istanbul, waiting for my appointment. Really beautiful city.

Thank you so much. I've always wanted to asked this question.

Hey Alex, thanks a lot for the video. It was indeed helpful. 👍

Very helpful Alex, thank you!

Dynamite information. A lot of hustlers out there saying you need to sign over power of attorney for a big fee and they will submit all information for a permit. Not needed. Very easy to understand the self-done application. Thanks for the tip on Fatih. That's where I am currently living.

Great video. Super helpful

Thank you for sharing this. I was always curious how residency worked in different countries.

Excellent video, very informative.

Great information for those who need it. Thank you for sharing.👍☘✌.

Good information

Alex, thanks so much for this video. Like i've told u, i've seen a few videos about this topic before, but hands down, your version is the best! Just curious how much money should i have in the bank tho....I'm afraid that i dont have enough money to support me for a year...If i show them a bank statement with $2k in it, i wonder if they would reject it.

Thanks !!

It looks a lot more simple than getting my Brazilian Residency. I had to wait almost 6 months for it to be finished!!! There are too many difficult parts of getting that residency to mention😅 the entire process is disorganized.

Informative

Good job Alex! I have a question, in the last part of the video you said something about how to extend the tourist visa for more days by paying between 1000 TL and 2000 TL. How can this be done? How does the process change? I am asking you because I have a relative there, he is concerned because his tourist visa is going to expire and he needs more days! Thanks for your response.

Nice presentation

Merhaba , very happy to going back but will live beside the ocean

Thank you so for making this really informative video i really appreciate it. I have a small question, my filling the application there was tab saying "gelir ve meslek bilgileri" would you please share information about it and what to write in it? Thank you so much.

Hi Alex thanks your information I need some information, by obtaining TR can I travel visa free countries, what are those

Hi, how about the tax number? Do I get it at the same time when paying for the residence application at the tax office? Is the tax number in a separate department from payment of the residence application? Thanks!

Alex super video, one question is true you need a turkey bank account? Do you have one?

Do I need to live in Turkey to get delivery for the card? How can I recieve my card if I'm just a visitor or tourist?

Hi Alex - Do you recommend motorbike rental to travel around Istanbul or would public transport suffice? I am planning to stay around Atasehir.

Hi Alex i would like to stay in an Apartment for just 6 months and I would like to have a rental contract for 1 year to apply for my First temporary Residence Card ,what can be done even though I have and can do and obtain the other documents. Can I use a sponsor account for the 1 year temporary Residence Card? to apply for it, or is not possible must only be a bank statement with my names on it an not for a sponsor and how much must at least should be shown for my support myself for 1 year .AND ALL TOGETHER BY YOUR EXXPERIENCE IN TOTAL HOW MUCH DID IT COST YOU AFTER ALL EXPENSES DOING IT,must be a bank statement of thelst 3 or 6 months or 1 year which of this.

Hi Alex thank you for your video, its good info. about that TR is it only grant to personal? if I come to Turkey with my wife and children how to apply?

I have to do application in Turkey or before I move to Turkey?

Salam Brother… kindly guide me if you may.. I have been living in USA for past 30 years and have decided to move to Turkey with my family… please guide me in this regard. My kids are growing and I don’t want to raise them here. Now, do I come to Turkey on a visit visa and apply for resident permit or beforehand? Also, do I apply for work permit before coming or after? I’m so lost and confused.. please brother give a detail response if possible… thank you in advance

If I am staying in a hotel, can I put that as my address in the application? And what if I have no other alternative person for the card to be sent to? After the application is filled out, is there a download button to save it on a memory card to take to the printing shop? Is there any health checks required by the insurance company?

THANK ALEX FOR YOUR GOOD INFORMATIONS I AM A US CITIZEN FOR 40 YEARS [BORN IN SYRIA] I HEARD SYRIAN CAN NOT OWN PROPETY IN TURKY,[ NOT SURE FOR US CITIZEN ] IS HARDER TO RESIDENT PERMIT ALSO THANKS YOU SO MUCH

Hey Alex! thanks for the video it was SUPER helpful and informative, But I am a little confused.. where do we need to submit the passport copy and (optionally proof of funds) and the notarized lease and insurance copy etc?? Is it an actual office? or is it just scans onto the e-ikamet website? Just moved here from Lebanon! New subscriber

Hi. Which bank would you recommend?. I'm moving to Istanbul in October.

Hi Alex, thank you for the great video! However, towards the end you said that there are instructions for people staying on AirBnB and if possible, I would very much be interested in that. Is there some document explaining what to do? Do I book 1 year in advance and then is the pdf enough for the residency? Do I need a letter from the owner or something? Thank you very much!

Thank you. Do I need to have a Turkish phone number in the application? Or can I receive the text message on my country's prepaid phone card (that I have in my phone now)?

What if you don't have a lease but are staying in hotels as you travel across the country? What do you show for proof since there is no lease agreement?

Hi Alex, I had one small question Alex. might seem a bit strange, but do they let you bring tablet and phone with you there? I was thinking maybe I can show them my bank account info using my phone if needed.

Hi Alex, hoping you're doing good? Please how did you get your health insurance for the residence permit? I am about to renew mine, please advice soonest.

Nice video. So you applied for the short term residency card? Is that good for max 2 years? How is the long term permit different from short term residency permit? Any idea how long is the long term residency permit good for?

Hi again :) At the end of the application, it doesn't let me choose from a list of offices to go to. The end screen just shows a few offices and nothing can be clicked. Do I wait for an e-mail to tell me? After the application is done online, do I just wait for them to give me an appointment?

Can I fill and apply online process till i find room for rent and show room agreement on biometric date

Do you have a link on how to get the proper insurance

Thanks. I heard applying from other cities is faster than applying from Istanbul, is it true?

Can you help me to get it done for me while I am in Istanbul??

Which city is fast to get trc now

One more question, bank statements they should be fresh n new right? Not older than 1-2-3 weeks? Can you tell please

Hey Alex, thanks for the video. I am planning to move to turkey within 60 days. I have watched other videos that mentioned the process takes in Istanbul about 3-4 months because they are many applications on the line. Can I apply on the website you mentioned online before I come to turkey? So that I can save time and not being overstated even it looks fine. I have more questions to ask bro if u can share with me any of info of urs so that I can ask u in depth. I will really appreciate bro! Thanks

I how are doing brother, one question please the 4 weeks spent that you received your IKAMET was in what city, Istambul or somewhere else. Because I've heard in the other cities that don't have much movement it is much faster to receive your IKAMET.like Ankara, Konya. since I'm an English teacher I would like to move there in next year. Or maybe a Call center Agent.

Hi, it says on a website that all foreign phones will stop working after 120 days unless it's registered. But is that registering my phone or the prepaid SIM cards in my phone? If I don't register, it means I can't receive verification texts from my bank transactions? It means I can't use my own prepaid SIM cards anymore?

Hi can you please make a complete video of how to get a work permit in turkey because I want to shift turkey permanently with my family from uae
