Residence Permit Application in Turkey
There are some important things you should know when you are applying for a residence permit in Turkey. We have listed them in this article for you.
Retrieving the Additional Documents
On your appointment date, the authorities will check whether your documents are valid or not. At that moment, the foreign nationals are possible to not bring some required documents because of certain causes or they may be asked by the clerk to add some documents to complete the particular requirement, and other foreigners may be requested to renew theirs.
To cope with this case, the “Migration Office” should offer a specific period of time to the applicant to retrieve the additional documents. The office grants some extra time up to 30 days. The foreign nations should submit the missing/renewed documents before the specified time period or their application will be canceled, and they need to make a new one. For the extension application, the provincial directorate of migration shall keep in touch with you using your declared address and contact information.
