OMG you are a lifesaver! I was planning on traveling to the Turkish embassy next month to see about applying for residency. I will just do it in when I get to Turkey. THANKS!!
Super! Yeah, don’t go to the embassy, they will not help you because is not in their hands doing the residency procedure, everything must be done here. I’m so glad to know that these videos are helping you with your questions before moving to Turkey 🎉🎉

I have a question. Firstly, allow me to thank you for this video. It has been the most detailed, informative, and helpful video I have found on this matter. Onto my question: I am currently in Turkey as a tourist with a 90-day visa and applying for my ikamet. Now that I am in the stages of touring apartments, I am worried because I don’t know what should be my move-in and move-out dates my apartment. Do I have to lease my apartment for the exact dates of my ikamet validity? I ask this because I don’t know when my ikamet appointment will be, so what if I sign an apartment lease tomorrow with the move-in date being next month, but I don’t get my ikamet appointment until TWO months from now? (i.e. what if my apartment rental officially begins BEFORE my ikamet appointment?)
Thank you for that detailed information. But how about health and medical insurance? how and where can I get that in turkey since it is required for the Residence permit.
First of all would like to thank you for providing such informative video. Can you please differentiate between Tourist & Family visa for first time appliers, can someone apply for Family visa if he or she intends to settle in Turkey for children education, buying property at later stage etc... Can you please advise on above. Thanking you in advance. Best Regards..
Great video! It's ashame you didn't cover the appointment side with greater depth. I heard some immigration offices have quicker appointment times depending on the city. For example in Istanbul it may take 3 months to get an appointment but in Izmir for example it could be 1 month. Please confirm if you agree?
Is totally true. I also experienced it during my first year in Turkey. I lived in a small city in the Black Sea region, I applied for my appointment, it was given just 3 days later, and 2 weeks later I received my card. But in Istanbul the story is totally different 😀 Is also about luck, because just today I received the email from the Immigration Office, and my appointment was given for the 6th of September, we applied just a few days ago. But previous years, I waited for 1-2 months just for it.
@@BeryIstanbulTips Hi! Very informative video! I just wanna know what will happen if in case I apply and got an appointment 2 months away, but my visa is expiring in 2 weeks--as you said I can still travel around while waiting for the appointment, but what if I decided to leave and go home to my country? Will it be marked as overstaying in Turkey instead since I didn't push through with the appointment?
HI THank yoi.Very informative however one question do you need to take out and pay for medical insurance prior to applying? if you do do you pay a year of medical insurance?
Excellent.. any ideas for me here now winter. Had big plans but raining. I was shocked that it was so straightforward for me. I m not usually lucky with visas but so good even very reassuring 24 hour helpline to check progress.
Thanks for the informative and useful video. I've been in Istanbul for two weeks. Just to clarify - if I complete the application and my interview appointment is scheduled for a date that's more than three months from now, am I legally allowed to stay in Turkey for more than three months?
Hola Bere! Amo tus videos y este aún más!! Te quería preguntar ¿qué seguro de salud compraste tú? Me iré en octubre y planeo comprar desde México el mío. ¿Tienes alguna recomendación? Gracias!!! 💕
Hola Andrea!! El seguro lo puedes comprar desde 250 TL en delante, yo personalmente compraba con Mapfre sigorta. Pero si planeas vivir aquí y sacar tu seguro de gastos médicos mayores, entonces debe ser sacado con una compañía en Turquía.
Hey. I'm trying to fill my residence permit form online but doesn't accept the address. It says the address i am putting is closed for residence permit application. What can i do.
If is your first time application there’s no way around. There are tons of neighborhoods closed for first time applications. You must find a place at a neighborhood that is still open for ikamet.
I believe there are done tax payments that one needs to pay as well as application fees where in turkey can these be paid i saw some links mentioning ptt but im not sure also i have one question which companies do you recommend getting medicsl insurance from that can cover a year
Hi Beri, what kind of document that we need to stand by? Bank indefinitely? Can we apply when we are in own country via their mention website? Thanks for the sharing & waiting for your favourable reply.
As I mentioned in the video, you cannot apply to the residence permit outside of Turkey. You must be here. For the documents needed, they are all listed in the document I share, the link is on the pinned comment. But to prove having sufficient and regular financial means throughout the stay, a bank document is more than enough.

Hi ,I am planning to move Istanbul with my family .I found your video very helpful but I have some questions to ask.I would really appreciate if you could reply me with the answers.*Could you please elaborate what kind of documents required to show them on appointment.*Any proof of finances are required if we are not started work in Istanbul.Kind Regards Muhammad
Is there English when filling out the form? Where can I go to print it out (I am staying in a hotel)? How do I get a biometric photo to upload? How do I show that I have sufficient funds financially when I don't have a Turkish bank account?
Hello Bery. Thank you very much for such a great informative video. I absolutely love all your videos. One question I have regarding the Ikamet. What happens if I apply and the date for interview takes months, in the meantime my vacation is over? Thank you in advance!!
Hi! Thank you for watching us! As long as you already have your appointment done you can stay in the country, you’re not ilegal or anything like that. Just you cannot leave the country until you get your residence permit, otherwise, the procedure will automatically be cancelled.
Hello ! Sorry but I have a question The permit is in processing, can I leave turkey before it finishes processing ? I heard that it was not possible to do so but it changed later yet I am not sure if it was true or not.
What a good timing, earlier today I was checking about this visa. Thank you very much! Do you have any recommendation about the health insurance? Also, do I have to apply for this while I am still in my country or only once I am in Turkey? Thank you in advance
Hai... your videos are nice and very usefull. İ have a question. For example i will get married with Turkish in Turkey and will stay there and i come with free visa. What should i do first when i get there? Should i make my ikamet first or goverment nikkah first?
Hi Bery! Thanks for the very informative video. I'm here in Turkey and trying to apply for residency but my passport validation is less than a year. Is it possible to apply for in my case?

Una persona con visa de corta duración de un año con fines turísticos y mostrando documentos que se puede mantener es posible le vuelvan a dar residencia de corta duración siempre que la pida ?
Hi! so you said that i can only apply from Turkey but in documents required there are some documents that i can only bring from my country like ( no criminal paper for example) , should i bring that document from my country before i come to Turkey or i don't have to?
Hi! I have overstayed with my family in turkey for over three months and we have paid our fine while leaving and they didn't tell us about any entry ban. We returned back about a week later and we stopped by immigration and they told us we have ten days to file for our permanent residence. My dad has already filed the form and he has it on his phone, but what will happen when the ten days expire? We have a three month visa but i dont know if we will be fine. I need advice because i am freaking out 😅
Hola gracias por la informacion es realmente muy bien explicado. Pero me queda una duda en que caso se puede aplicar una visa de largo plazo ???? O como puedo vivir alli sin pensar que debo renovar visa cada año demostrando dinero para manutención mia y de mi familia
I have 2 questions if I may ask. 1. Can a touristic permit be changed in the 2nd year if during the first year I buy a property 2. Do you know anyone reliable who would provide services for doing all the paperwork as I also need a tax number, open a bank account and convert my overseas drivers license to a Turkish one.
I Have a Question I have Residence permit but It will expire in 12 days and i am out of country right now Tell me If i will go back turkey can i enter in country or I will be to apply for New Residence permit?
If I apply for the tourist ikamet and they give me the appointment after 3 months, can I still travel abroad and come back freely or will I have to pay any fine? Thanks for the video!
I read that if you're under 18 or over 65 you don't have to show proof of insurance. Is this true? Also, potential landlords have wanted to see my residence permit before renting me an apartment, but you have to show an address just to apply for the permit It's sort of a Catch 22.
Hi Roger! I’m not sure about your first question, I haven’t heard anything about it to be honest, but it could be. In regards to the landlords, that’s quite strange, many of them already know that we are being requested to show a notarized rental contract in order to apply for our residence permit, but I don’t doubt that some just love making things harder for us. I hope you find a place where they’ll provide you the necessary documents without hesitation. 🙏
How to apply for jobs in turkey,is it possible to get a job before entering turkey or only in person..scope for architect & interior designer job ?? Salary & how to get a job
Hej ;) I’m getting married to my Turkish Fiance next month;) because of the visas process make things difficult. So I am thinking about getting the resident permit. I’m not going to be livening there on a regular basis. Just needed it to escape the Visa process . and to see my family as I want to;) will they allow me to go in and out of the country if i get a resident permits;)
Of course! But just keep in mind that by having the residence permit you can leave the country just for a certain time, otherwise, it will get cancelled. I cannot remember the exact time one can be out of Turkey on a residence permit but just make sure to ask that once you apply for it. Every time I travel abroad, when I come back to 🇹🇷, at passport control I only show my passport and my residence permit, no need of a visa, with that, they allow me enter. I even get in line at the section for Turkish citizens, I do not get in line at “other nationalities” section :)

Hi.💕 This video landed on my homepage and after watching the video and reading the comments a bit, I was really confused. I am Turkish and I was born and raised in Turkey, I have been here for 22 years, I have never been abroad. And I want more than anything to run away from this country. I really don't like being here. Economic problems, hikes and taxes, bad news and injustices really bother me. Unlike me, I don't understand why so many foreign people want to come to this country. Of course, these are everyone's own lives and their own decisions. But what is the positive side and beauty of this country that I haven't seen in 22 years? Please tell me too, I really need a reason to love my country of citizenship.☹️ So if we can trade citizenship, I'd be happy to swap places with someone who wants to come here.😬
They always say the grass is a lot greener on the other side- I think a lot of young people want to leave their country no matter where it is. I'm from the united states and I want to come to turkey because the culture is beautiful and everything is cheap for those who earn USD. Please understand that foreigners are not affected by politics like local Turks, we aren't affected by economic problems or injustices so it is a HUGE privilege for a foreigner to live in turkey compared to a local. I recognize that it's very unfair for us to benefit this way when locals suffer
Hello! You need to follow this same steps, you need to apply as renewal. Just make sure to do the application before it expires. You should receive a message from the immigration office 60 days before your ikamet expires, then you can apply for the renewal.
@@BeryIstanbulTips thank you. Your kind response is highly valued. You made things so easy for us. Your channel is one of the best channel i have ever seen so far. My ikamet is gonna expire after 45 days .... I'm still in my homeland .... Going back to turkey soon on mid of next month. I have antalya ikamet . Can i convert into istanbul. And the main thing is that I don't have any residential documents. Is it compulsory to attach it. Look forward to hear from you.
Thnk you so much for your kind words, I feel super happy to know that our videos have been able to help you 🙌 In that case, you need to apply as a new application since you’ll be residing in Istanbul, you need to rent an apartment, sign the contract and take it to the notary, that document will be requested too. On the system there is an option “I lodge a transfer application for residence permit”. And it will directly send you to the section as a first time application form. I had the same situation when I was living in another city before Istanbul, even though my ikamet was a renewal, I had to apply as first time because I was going to change my residence to Istanbul. Just as a tip, as far as I have seen the appointments for the interviews in Istanbul are being given quick, mine was given for September 6th and I just applied a week and a half ago, I recommend you filling your form just a few days before your ikamet expires, that way your appointment will be AFTER your current ikamet expires. If you do it too soon and your appointment is given before your ikamet expires, they will not take the process. It happened to me too 😅 So do it just 2-4 days before it expires, then you apply as a new ikamet in Istanbul. Hope this helps!
@@BeryIstanbulTips i must say that people should learn something from you . What you have done for me and the humanity is just extraordinary. You so kind and humble. Words are not enough to describe your effort. I'll do the same. I will apply before 2-3 days before my ikamet expires. Thank you so much. I hope you will get 1M subscribers soon. Keep it up. Stay blessed. Ameen
@@BeryIstanbulTips thanks. And the tourist sport term is one year. What happens after that, year? I can aply again before the year finish or I have to exit the country ?
Hola Bery, mira tengo una duda. Una vez que obtienes el permiso de residencia puedes salir y entrar libremente de turquía cuanto quieras mientras el permiso esté en vigor, o existe algún tipo de limitación? (En plan, no puedes pasar más de X tiempo fuera de turquía). Con el permiso de residencia, mientras esté en vigor puedes residir en turquía sin límite alguno, no? Ah y una última duda, revisando la página oficial del gobierno de turquía hay un apartado que pone "Right to Exit-Entry for 15 Days", entiendo que ese apartado hace referencia a que no puedes salir de turquía más de 15 días mientras el proceso de aprobado/denegado del permiso esté en marcha, es así? Muchas gracias :)
Hola Fran, tengo una pregunta, eres de España? Soy español y mi novia es de Estambul, quiero conseguir Visa de 1 año para poder quedarme con ella más de 90 dias, me queda mas o menos 25 dias hasta que se me pasen los 90 dias, te puedo preguntar, cuanto tardaste en que te dieran el permiso de residencia si es que te lo han dado? Gracias por leerme y que tengas un buen dia.
hi,I checked the application result on official site,its written application registration in progress,I went to interview already 1 week,the staff there still review my document?
Welcome to Turkey 😅 This process is not done in one week or less, it can even take months, as someone who has been living here for many years I can assure you that, I have even waited 2 months or more. That doesn’t mean yours might also take months, it could be soon, just don’t stress or try to rush the Turkish system. Here it is like that.
@@chengshenghu5714 I wonder what kind of questions in the interview, just general about our personal data or anything special? How did you handle it, did you bring translator with you? Thank you.
For sure is not as easy as before, the ones that usually reject are first-timer applicants and if you apply as a tourist, also if you already have a residence permit issued as a tourist and you try to renew it that way, more likely is going to be rejected. So yeah! Rejected applications are quite high now plus tons of districts not just in Istanbul but also in other provinces have closed to foreigners, meaning that (if applying for the firs time) you cannot look for a house in certain areas.
OMG you are a lifesaver! I was planning on traveling to the Turkish embassy next month to see about applying for residency. I will just do it in when I get to Turkey. THANKS!!
Super! Yeah, don’t go to the embassy, they will not help you because is not in their hands doing the residency procedure, everything must be done here. I’m so glad to know that these videos are helping you with your questions before moving to Turkey 🎉🎉

I have Residence permit but It will expire in 12 days and i am out of country right now
Tell me If i will go back turkey can i enter in country or I will be to apply for New Residence permit?
Are there any health providers you recommend?
You can check mapfre sigorta or anadolu sigorta. They are big companies and reliable.
Hello bery. What about Business in Turkey. I think there is big problem in Turkey.

If I apply for the tourist ikamet and they give me the appointment after 3 months, can I still travel abroad and come back freely or will I have to pay any fine? Thanks for the video!
I read that if you're under 18 or over 65 you don't have to show proof of insurance. Is this true? Also, potential landlords have wanted to see my residence permit before renting me an apartment, but you have to show an address just to apply for the permit It's sort of a Catch 22.
Hi Roger! I’m not sure about your first question, I haven’t heard anything about it to be honest, but it could be.
In regards to the landlords, that’s quite strange, many of them already know that we are being requested to show a notarized rental contract in order to apply for our residence permit, but I don’t doubt that some just love making things harder for us.
I hope you find a place where they’ll provide you the necessary documents without hesitation. 🙏
Well explained Sister. Thank You for the links provided. Ma'am do you also offer your services for such jobs.🇮🇳

Hej ;)
I’m getting married to my Turkish Fiance next month;) because of the visas process make things difficult. So I am thinking about getting the resident permit. I’m not going to be livening there on a regular basis. Just needed it to escape the Visa process . and to see my family as I want to;)
will they allow me to go in and out of the country if i get a resident permits;)
Of course! But just keep in mind that by having the residence permit you can leave the country just for a certain time, otherwise, it will get cancelled. I cannot remember the exact time one can be out of Turkey on a residence permit but just make sure to ask that once you apply for it.
Every time I travel abroad, when I come back to 🇹🇷, at passport control I only show my passport and my residence permit, no need of a visa, with that, they allow me enter. I even get in line at the section for Turkish citizens, I do not get in line at “other nationalities” section :)
@@BeryIstanbulTips hi ;) I appreciate your help;) it means a lot 🌞🙏. Keep on the good work;)

RESIDENCE PERMIT APPLICATION FORM
Hi.💕 This video landed on my homepage and after watching the video and reading the comments a bit, I was really confused. I am Turkish and I was born and raised in Turkey, I have been here for 22 years, I have never been abroad. And I want more than anything to run away from this country. I really don't like being here. Economic problems, hikes and taxes, bad news and injustices really bother me. Unlike me, I don't understand why so many foreign people want to come to this country. Of course, these are everyone's own lives and their own decisions. But what is the positive side and beauty of this country that I haven't seen in 22 years? Please tell me too, I really need a reason to love my country of citizenship.☹️ So if we can trade citizenship, I'd be happy to swap places with someone who wants to come here.😬
They always say the grass is a lot greener on the other side- I think a lot of young people want to leave their country no matter where it is.
I'm from the united states and I want to come to turkey because the culture is beautiful and everything is cheap for those who earn USD. Please understand that foreigners are not affected by politics like local Turks, we aren't affected by economic problems or injustices so it is a HUGE privilege for a foreigner to live in turkey compared to a local. I recognize that it's very unfair for us to benefit this way when locals suffer
Can you renew your visa after 1 year?
Could you please let us know how to renew ikamet ....cox my ikamet gonna expire soon so I'm bit worried
Hello! You need to follow this same steps, you need to apply as renewal.
Just make sure to do the application before it expires. You should receive a message from the immigration office 60 days before your ikamet expires, then you can apply for the renewal.
@@BeryIstanbulTips thank you. Your kind response is highly valued. You made things so easy for us. Your channel is one of the best channel i have ever seen so far. My ikamet is gonna expire after 45 days .... I'm still in my homeland .... Going back to turkey soon on mid of next month. I have antalya ikamet . Can i convert into istanbul. And the main thing is that I don't have any residential documents. Is it compulsory to attach it. Look forward to hear from you.
Thnk you so much for your kind words, I feel super happy to know that our videos have been able to help you 🙌
In that case, you need to apply as a new application since you’ll be residing in Istanbul, you need to rent an apartment, sign the contract and take it to the notary, that document will be requested too.
On the system there is an option “I lodge a transfer application for residence permit”. And it will directly send you to the section as a first time application form.
I had the same situation when I was living in another city before Istanbul, even though my ikamet was a renewal, I had to apply as first time because I was going to change my residence to Istanbul.
Just as a tip, as far as I have seen the appointments for the interviews in Istanbul are being given quick, mine was given for September 6th and I just applied a week and a half ago, I recommend you filling your form just a few days before your ikamet expires, that way your appointment will be AFTER your current ikamet expires.
If you do it too soon and your appointment is given before your ikamet expires, they will not take the process. It happened to me too 😅
So do it just 2-4 days before it expires, then you apply as a new ikamet in Istanbul.
Hope this helps!
@@BeryIstanbulTips i must say that people should learn something from you . What you have done for me and the humanity is just extraordinary. You so kind and humble. Words are not enough to describe your effort. I'll do the same. I will apply before 2-3 days before my ikamet expires. Thank you so much. I hope you will get 1M subscribers soon. Keep it up. Stay blessed. Ameen
What about people want to get retired in Turkey? No need to work, just for stay more than 3 months. It's the same process?
Yes, is the same process, if you don’t buy a property or anything, then you should apply as a tourist.
@@BeryIstanbulTips thanks. And the tourist sport term is one year. What happens after that, year? I can aply again before the year finish or I have to exit the country ?
You can apply a multiple entries visa for a year at the Turkish Embessy in your country.
Hola Bery, mira tengo una duda. Una vez que obtienes el permiso de residencia puedes salir y entrar libremente de turquía cuanto quieras mientras el permiso esté en vigor, o existe algún tipo de limitación? (En plan, no puedes pasar más de X tiempo fuera de turquía). Con el permiso de residencia, mientras esté en vigor puedes residir en turquía sin límite alguno, no?
Ah y una última duda, revisando la página oficial del gobierno de turquía hay un apartado que pone "Right to Exit-Entry for 15 Days", entiendo que ese apartado hace referencia a que no puedes salir de turquía más de 15 días mientras el proceso de aprobado/denegado del permiso esté en marcha, es así?
Muchas gracias :)
Hola Fran, tengo una pregunta, eres de España? Soy español y mi novia es de Estambul, quiero conseguir Visa de 1 año para poder quedarme con ella más de 90 dias, me queda mas o menos 25 dias hasta que se me pasen los 90 dias, te puedo preguntar, cuanto tardaste en que te dieran el permiso de residencia si es que te lo han dado? Gracias por leerme y que tengas un buen dia.
Hello I have a little bit private question for you about Ikamet,is it some where I can text to you?😊
Hello, if you are using instagram you can send us a message there. @beryistanbultips
hi,I checked the application result on official site,its written application registration in progress,I went to interview already 1 week,the staff there still review my document?
Welcome to Turkey 😅
This process is not done in one week or less, it can even take months, as someone who has been living here for many years I can assure you that, I have even waited 2 months or more.
That doesn’t mean yours might also take months, it could be soon, just don’t stress or try to rush the Turkish system. Here it is like that.
@@BeryIstanbulTips thank for sharing information,I know in Istanbul the process quite slowly for getting ikamet,I applied ikamet in ankara
@@chengshenghu5714 I wonder what kind of questions in the interview, just general about our personal data or anything special? How did you handle it, did you bring translator with you?
Thank you.
If someone have work permit of turkish repulic of north cyprus can he visit turkey on that visa
Is that true they don't issue ikamat anymore?
For sure is not as easy as before, the ones that usually reject are first-timer applicants and if you apply as a tourist, also if you already have a residence permit issued as a tourist and you try to renew it that way, more likely is going to be rejected. So yeah! Rejected applications are quite high now plus tons of districts not just in Istanbul but also in other provinces have closed to foreigners, meaning that (if applying for the firs time) you cannot look for a house in certain areas.
@@BeryIstanbulTips ugh what's the solution then? Any idea?
