What is the residence of the property in Turkey

A real estate residence permit is a document taken from the immigration departments of the Turkish states, allowing its owner to enjoy the rights of education, medicine and living in Turkey legally. This residence is characterized as temporary and needs to be renewed annually.

This residence permit is granted to foreign persons wishing to own property in Turkey and settle there, and the wife and family members, children under the age of 18, have the right to obtain real estate residence.

.

How long is it

It is usually granted for a period of one or two years, renewable as long as the property belongs to the applicant

Who is granted this residence

It is granted to the owner of the property from foreigners who have owned in Turkey, and one property can be a candidate for Real Estate residence for more than one person if they share ownership of the same property.

But, unfortunately, a wife or children are granted Real Estate residence only if they are real owners and have a name in the title deed.

Is real estate residency available to all foreign nationalities

Available only to those who can own real estate in Turkey, and among the Arab nationalities only holders of Syrian citizenship do not have the right to own real estate in Turkey.

For the state of Istanbul, the price of the property must be at least 70 thousand US dollars, and this limit applies to all large states in Turkey, as for small states, the minimum starts from 50 thousand US dollars

Now that we have initially obtained sufficient information to get acquainted with real estate residency in Istanbul, let's move on to the real steps to obtain residency legally.

What is the percentage of acceptance or rejection of real estate residency for foreigners

Often, all applications for Real Estate residence in Turkey and Istanbul are approved privately after all the conditions required for the extraction or renewal of residence are met, and all the papers are official.

However, this does not prevent some cases of refusal of residence, perhaps for reasons considered by the migration directorate, and this can be objected to if the reasons are not convincing.
