Owning or renting property in Turkey provides a basis for applying for a residence permit, which significantly influences the duration one can legally reside in the country. Here's how it works:
Both types of residence permits—whether obtained through property ownership or a rental agreement—require proper registration and compliance with Turkish immigration laws. The permits allow you to reside in Turkey, travel in and out of the country, and may include additional rights like access to healthcare services.
For continuous stay, it's essential to renew the residence permit before it expires, ensuring all necessary documentation is updated and submitted timely. This process typically involves proving your continued property ownership or rental and may require other forms of documentation as specified by Turkish immigration authorities.
