From residence and work permits to citizenship applications, from foreigners' real estate acquisition to family reunification; we manage foreigners' legal processes in Türkiye end to end.

Foreign nationals with legal status may apply for a residence permit for their spouse and dependent children under family reunification. Conditions such as income, housing and health insurance are required. We conduct your family members' applications together, in a manner consistent with your own status.
Foreign nationals who acquire real estate above a certain value and undertake to hold it for a minimum period may apply for exceptional citizenship. The process requires the property's valuation and acquisition procedures to be conducted together with the citizenship application. We manage both aspects from a single point of contact.
An administrative appeal within the statutory time limit and a lawsuit before the administrative court are available against a refusal decision. Correctly analysing the grounds for refusal and remedying any deficiencies is decisive. We intervene in the process quickly, minimising the gap in your status and protecting your legal position.
Yes. As a rule, foreign nationals need a work permit in order to work legally in Türkiye, and the application is made through the employer. The work permit also serves in place of a residence permit. Working without a permit creates the risk of an administrative fine and deportation for both the employee and the employer.
In corporate staff mobility, work permits, the company's compliance with capital and employment criteria, and the staff's residence status are planned together. We establish a collective and sustainable permit strategy for your company and run the processes in line with your business schedule.
