Residence permit renewal
You apply for renewal within the 60 days before your card expires, and in any case before it expires. If you apply on time, you can stay in Türkiye legally with the document you're given until a decision is made.
When does your card expire?
You apply for renewal within the 60 days before your card expires. Enter your date and we'll show you what to do.
This uses the general rule in the law (YUKK Art. 24). Let's check your exact situation together.
When should you apply?
The window opens 60 days before your card expires. If you leave it to the last few days, there's no time to fix a problem with your insurance, address or passport.
What if your card expires before a decision?
If you applied for renewal on time, the application document you're given shows that your stay is legal until a decision is made. Keep this document with you.
What if your renewal is refused?
If your renewal is refused, you have only 10 days to leave the country; if you stay longer, a deportation order may follow. You have 60 days to challenge the refusal in court, and this is handled by a lawyer. Contact us as soon as you receive the refusal letter.
Changing permit type
If your situation has changed (marriage, finishing your studies, starting a business), you may need to switch to a different permit type instead of renewing. Choosing the right type from the start lowers the risk of refusal.
What's usually needed for renewal
- Passport (valid for at least 60 days longer than the permit period)
- Your current residence card
- Biometric photos
- Health insurance covering the permit period
- Address details (lease agreement or title deed)
- Extra documents for your permit type: proof of income, student certificate, marriage record, etc.
- Card fee and residence fee paid through official channels
The exact list depends on your permit type and situation; we prepare your personal list during the case review.
