Residence permit

asks:
Hello. does the Turkish residence permit expire after the sale of real estate (apartment)? I'm not buying another apartment. If so, how long can I stay in Turkey after the sale of the apartment?

Expert answers (1)

If the residence permit was obtained precisely on the basis of ownership of real estate, after the sale of the apartment, the basis for the residence permit ceases. However, the residence permit itself does not necessarily terminate automatically on the day of sale — the final decision depends on the migration service.

After the sale of the property, you must notify Göç İ daresi and clarify the status of the residence permit. If there is no other property and there is no other reason for a residence permit, usually after the termination of the residence permit, you can stay in Turkey only within the permitted visa-free period for citizenship.

Fethiye and Oludeniz: apartments and villas in the "other" Turkey People often talk about these places breathlessly, calling them the most beautiful on the Turkish coast: lagoons with the purest turquoise water, cozy coves near rocky shores overgrown with cedar and pine, ancient monuments hidden in the mountains or, on the contrary, in the middle of modern buildings; It is not surprising that real estate here is quite expensive, although cheaper than in the elite Bodrum.
Istanbul is the largest housing market in Turkey as a whole and the leader in the number of transactions with buyers from abroad.
