Residence permit for the owner of housing in Turkey and his family - is issued for the purchase of an apartment, house or villa from 200,000 USD. The card is issued for up to two years per application, then it can be renewed while the accommodation remains yours. The spouse and children under the age of 18 apply together with the owner. Moving the whole family, the address in your home, and years with such a residence permit are in time for citizenship. Tolerance provides a residence permit for its customers and their loved ones. It is possible to obtain a tourist residence permit without reference to the amount of purchase.
This basis is enshrined in the law: ownership of real estate – subitem (b) of Article 31 of Law No. 6458 on Aliens and International Protection. The nature and cost of housing for a residence permit is determined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs (Article 31/6 - valid from November 30, 2024); the value of "not less than 200,000 USD" is published in the official list of e-Ikamet documents. The Ministry has the right to revise the threshold - the figure is current on the date of publication of the card.
Three conditions without which the purchase does not give a residence permit:
object - housing (konut): apartment, villa, house; plot, office or store are not suitable;
the price in Tapu on the day of purchase - from 200 000 USD in lira equivalent: the amount is considered in the documents, not in the announcement;
You live in this house yourself - you can not rent it out and receive income from it.
What the family gets. Husband, wife, and children follow the same ground if they are inscribed in Tapu – with a share or as co-owners. Therefore, we advise spouses to issue Tapa in equal shares: each becomes an independent applicant, and each takes years for future citizenship. If the house is decorated for one, the second spouse choose another basis - with their own conditions.
A common mistake of the buyer is to look only at the price. For a residence permit, five other things are important: the type of object in the documents, the registered ownership, the amount in Tapu, the address and who the housing is registered for. In our practice, refusals do not occur because of the questionnaire - the mistake was made earlier, when choosing an object. Therefore, we finish the check before the advance, not after the transaction.
How we help. We maintain a residence permit for customers who buy real estate with us, and for their families - escort until the first card is received is included in the customer service. We do not take applications only for a residence permit, without buying: we are responsible for the result of our work, and for this we must check the object, address and documents from the first step.
