Turkish Immigration Law: Citizenship & Immigration & Visa Services

Home » Practice Areas » Turkish Law For Foreigners: Citizenship & Immigration & Visa Services

As Viridis Legal Partners, your immigration lawyers in Turkey, we are here to assist you through acquiring Turkish citizenship, Turkish visa and immigration to Turkey goals. Whether you are looking for digital nomad visa in Turkey, work visa in Turkey, family unification residence permit in Turkey or student residence permit in Turkey, you can benefit from our immigration and citizenship and visa law services in Turkey.

What Is Immigration Law In Turkey?

The branch of law that regulates the legal presence of foreign persons who are not Turkish citizens in Turkey, regulating issues such as their residence permit in Turkey, work permit in Turkey, visa applications to Turkey, and Turkish citizenship acquisition can be defined as immigration law.

English Speaking Immigration Lawyer In Turkey

Lawyers specialising in immigration and citizenship law in Turkey can be defined as immigration lawyers. As your English-speaking Turkish immigration lawyers, we are at your side in the processes you encounter within the scope of immigration law, such as obtaining a residence permit in Turkey, obtaining a work permit in Turkey, fulfilling your Turkish citizenship applications. As your immigration law lawyers in Istanbul, we support you in the finalisation of your visa applications, filing a lawsuit against the rejection of your visa applications, obtaining Turkish citizenship by buying real estate, and obtaining Turkish citizenship by investing.

Turkish Citizenship Lawyer

There is more than one way to obtain Turkish Citizenship. Turkish citizenship can be acquired by acquiring real estate, investing, long-term residence, marriage, or adoption. As an immigration and citizenship law firm in Istanbul, Viridis Legal Partners provides support on various issues such as which method is suitable for you, the conditions for obtaining Turkish citizenship, making your Turkish citizenship applications, filing a lawsuit if your Turkish citizenship application is rejected.

Turkish Law For Foreigners

Entering Turkey as a foreigner, whether for business, work, or personal reasons, requires understanding local immigration laws and procedures. Here, at Viridis Legal Partners, we offer expert guidance to successfully navigate these processes.

How To Become A Turkish Citizen

The path to Turkish citizenship involves meeting specific legal criteria. Whether you are interested in acquiring citizenship through marriage, descent, investment, property purchase or any other avenue, our guide will offer in-depth insights into the requirements, laws, and benefits associated with Turkish nationality.

Our attorneys are well-versed in these eligibility requirements and can guide you through the citizenship procedures. We ensure that all necessary documents are correctly prepared and submitted, making the process smoother and more efficient.

Work Permits in Turkey

If you plan to work in Turkey, obtaining a work permit is a vital legal requirement. It is significant to have legal insights and assistance into the various aspects of work permits, including their types, application processes, methods for checking work permit status and ways of objection application processes against denial.

Our firm has extensive experience in assisting clients with obtaining work permits. We guide you through the application process, ensuring that all paperwork is completed accurately and timely.

Turkish Residency Requirements and Procedures

Understanding the residence permit requirements in Turkey is crucial for anyone planning to stay long-term. The Turkish residence permit serves as proof of your permission to live in the country and enjoy various rights and privileges during your stay. Having legal understanding and assistance with the various aspects of residence permits, including their types, renewal, application processes, usage for family reunification, and ways of objection against cancellation or rejection is consequential.

Exceptional Acquisition Of Turkish Citizenship

The exceptional acquisition of Turkish citizenship offers an alternative route for foreigners, primarily through investment-based initiatives or significant contributions to Turkey’s economy, culture, or other key sectors. This pathway, while less conventional than standard methods like marriage or descent, requires substantial investments or notable contributions, and is subject to the discretion of the Turkish authorities. Due to its complexity and stringent legal requirements, professional legal guidance is crucial for navigating this process. For a detailed exploration of these criteria and procedures, readers are encouraged to refer to the dedicated article on this topic

Our team of lawyers can guide you through the application process, providing advice on necessary documents, required forms, and legal obligations.

Deportation Defense

Facing deportation can be daunting. We advise and represent clients facing deportation procedures. 

Deportation is a legal process through which individuals are removed from a country and sent back to their home country or another specified destination. In the context of Turkey, some specific circumstances and actions can lead to deportation. Understanding the reasons for deportation, the consequences it entails, and taking legal advice and assistance before or during the deportation process to prevent it are essential for individuals residing in Turkey.

Our attorneys work diligently to explore all possible defences and advocate for your rights throughout the process. We are committed to providing the strongest possible defence for our clients.
