A Turkish work permit rejection can usually be appealed, but the deadlines are strict. You normally have 30 days to file an administrative objection with the International Labour Force Directorate General, and if that fails, 60 days to bring a cancellation lawsuit before the administrative court, as of writing.

Common grounds for refusal include the employer not meeting the Turkish-employee ratio, a salary below the required threshold, and missing or untranslated qualifications. A refusal relates to one employer and one role, so it does not bar you from working in Turkey in future.

We set out the full appeal process, the documents you need and the mistakes that sink an appeal: https://www.karanfiloglu.av.tr/turkish-work-permit-rejection-appeal/

Turkey golden visa alternatives come down to two routes, not one official scheme. Citizenship by investment usually starts around $400,000 in property and leads to a Turkish passport in around three to six months, as of writing. Residence by investment can start at roughly half that, around $200,000, and gives the right to live in Turkey without changing nationality, with residence able to grow into citizenship after about five years. We set out the cost, timeline and family coverage of each route on the blog, with the common mistakes investors make along the way.

06/10/2026

An apostille in Turkey confirms that a public document's signature or seal is genuine, so another Hague Convention country, or Turkey itself, will accept it. It is always issued in the country where the document was created, so a foreign birth or marriage certificate needs to be apostilled at home before it reaches a Turkish office, not here in Istanbul. Once it arrives, a sworn translator and a Turkish notary (noter) usually need to be involved before residence, citizenship, marriage or company files can move forward. We put together a full guide covering notary requirements for foreigners, sworn translation and the common mistakes that send people back to the counter a second time: https://www.karanfiloglu.av.tr/apostille-in-turkey-foreigners/

Setting up a free zone company in Turkey lets foreign investors trade with customs and tax advantages on qualifying activity, with no local partner required. Companies holding a production licence can access a corporate tax exemption on manufacturing earnings, while registration usually takes around four to eight weeks from a complete file to an issued operating licence, as of writing.

Our new guide covers who can apply, the documents you need, the costs, and the most common mistakes that slow down a licence application in Istanbul and across Turkey.

Transferring money out of Turkey after selling property is legal and routine for foreign owners, done through a Turkish bank rather than in cash. You will need a Turkish tax number, a Turkish bank account and the title deed (tapu) as proof of source, and if you held the property more than five years the sale is usually exempt from capital gains tax, as of writing.

Our new guide covers the documents, the tax rule and the realistic timeline: https://www.karanfiloglu.av.tr/transferring-money-out-of-turkey/

28/09/2026

Health insurance for a Turkish residence permit is mandatory for almost every applicant in Turkey, and the Directorate General of Migration Management checks it at both first application and renewal. You can meet the requirement through SGK, Turkey's state scheme, if you are employed or a long-term resident, or through a private Turkish policy that covers the full length of your permit. Getting the dates, name and passport details right on the policy avoids the delays we see most often in Istanbul residence files. Read the full guide for the requirements, typical costs and common mistakes to avoid.

25/09/2026

A short-term residence permit in Turkey lets foreign property owners live in the country legally, usually for up to two years at a time. If you own a home here with an official appraised value of at least USD 200,000, as of writing, property ownership is one of the accepted grounds for the permit.

Our new guide covers who qualifies, the documents you need, the e-ikamet application steps, the typical timeline and the mistakes that most often cause delays.

23/09/2026

The Turkish citizenship interview is usually a twenty to forty minute meeting where officials confirm your identity and check that your application is genuine, held at the provincial Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs. Marriage-based and ordinary naturalisation applicants usually attend one; citizenship by investment is mostly document-driven. We put together a full guide covering who attends, the questions to expect, and what to bring on the day.

21/09/2026

Turkish citizenship for family members lets a qualifying investor's spouse and dependent children under 18 be naturalised on the same file, without a separate investment for each person. The relatives added to the file take on no investment duty of their own; the commitment sits with the main applicant. It usually takes around six to twelve months from a completed investment to the decision, as of writing, and document collection is often the stage that takes longest. Read the full guide on who qualifies, the documents needed and the common mistakes that delay a family file.
