Informationen about Ikamet – residence permission


Most of you will already know: You can get a residence permit for up to two years. At https://e-ikamet.goc.gov.tr/ you enter your data for a new application, or for an extension, and you will receive an appointment with the local département, where you have to submit your required documents personally. Personally, this is also taken very literally and seriously; no one is allowed to accompany you into the office. The clerks there know how to communicate. Please note that there is currently an almost 3 month waiting period to get an appointment for the application. So if you enter your data on the website today, you will get an appointment in June at the earliest! After the application, it takes another 1-2 months until you hold your Ikamet in your hands. The reception of the ikamet can only be accepted personally at the postal worker. For the application, a passport is required, which must have at least the validity of the desired length of stay. An ID-card is not enough!
Another important note: during the school holidays in summer from the end of June to the beginning of September, there are no dates for an application available at all. You have to make some planning for it!
