Frequently Asked Questions

What can be done if a residence permit application is rejected?

An administrative objection and an annulment action before the administrative court may be pursued. The time limit runs from the date the rejection decision is served, which makes the service date the most critical fact in the file. A request for a stay of execution may be filed together with the annulment action.

How is a work permit for foreign nationals obtained?

As a rule the application is filed by an employer established in Türkiye with the Ministry of Labour and Social Security; applications from abroad are submitted through the relevant Turkish consulate. For foreign nationals who are company shareholders, the shareholding ratio and capital requirements are assessed separately. Permits are granted for a fixed term and an extension application must be made before expiry.

What is the deadline to challenge a deportation (removal) decision?

Under Article 53 of Law No. 6458 on Foreigners and International Protection, an application may be made to the administrative court within seven days of service of the removal decision. The court concludes the application within fifteen days and its decision is final. Because the period is short, correctly establishing the date of service is decisive.

Can an administrative detention decision be challenged?

Yes. The foreign national, their legal representative or lawyer may apply to the criminal judgeship of peace against the detention decision. The application does not automatically suspend detention; the judgeship concludes its review promptly. The necessity of administrative detention is also reassessed by the administration at regular intervals.

Can a rejected Turkish citizenship application be challenged in court?

Because citizenship decisions are administrative acts, an annulment action may be brought before the administrative courts. Judicial review largely turns on whether the documents and conditions in the application file were properly assessed, which is why the completeness of the file at the application stage directly affects the later stage.
