GENERAL VISA
INFORMATION TO TRAVEL TO TURKEY
If you
would like to reside in Turkey longer than the normal period
allowed to tourists, you will need a residence visa.
All
documents for a residence visa must be submitted to the
Turkish Consulate General at least eight weeks before the
intended date of departure (Nationals of European Union
countries and nationals of Australia, Canada, Iceland, New
Zealand, Norway, Switzerland and USA may be issued a one
year resident visa in a week depending on their
circumstances).
Please note
that applications must be referred to the relevant Turkish
authorities for their approval. Therefore, applicants are
advised to contact the Consulate to find out the outcome in
due course.
After obtaining the residence visa, you are required to
register with the local police within a month following the
arrival in Turkey in order to obtain a residence permit. If
you wish to extend your permit for a further period, you
should apply to the same police headquarters before the
permit expires.
