Registration when applying for a kimlik
Shayapov Ruslan asks:
Good day! Do I need to register when applying for a kimlik? If so, is it possible to register in a house that has not yet been rented? If not, is it difficult and expensive to issue a temporary registration? And is it possible to get temporary registration from friends in Turkey? Thank you.

Good afternoon, registration is needed, but you cannot register in an unreleased house. You can get a tourist residence permit for rent.

Hello!
Naturally, registration is needed. You cannot register in an unreleased house. There is no temporary registration in Turkey. There is a short-term residence permit here, which implies registration at least somewhere. If you are not your friends' son under the age of 18 and not your husband, then you will not be able to get temporary registration with friends. Only on the basis of a lease agreement, provided that the area is open for a residence permit.

Good afternoon, Ruslan. Registration is required. Registration is possible in a ready-made house. You can register by renting, or friends register you as a guest.

Good afternoon. The question is not asked very correctly. If you have applied for a kimlik, that is, citizenship, then by default you should already have a residence permit (ikamet) and, accordingly, a residence address. It is better and easier to apply for citizenship through a lawyer. If you want to apply for a residence permit for an apartment, then you will not be able to register in an unreleased house, since registration requires a subscriber for water or electricity issued in your name. Depending on the city of location, it is worth applying for a tourist residence permit for rent, while attaching documents for the ownership of an apartment in a building under construction. If the Tapu has already been issued in your name, then with a 99% probability the residence permit will be confirmed to you

TURKEY. Taxes, fees
Hello! How do I pay for an ID from another country? I'm not in Turkey right now. Should the management company issue an invoice for payment? The bank did not accept our payment, as they require an invoice for services to be paid to a legal entity. And we also don't know how to pay the tax remotely. Thank you in advance for your reply!
