The evaluation is carried out by the Provincial Directorate of Migration Management.

Foreigners can apply for a residence permit suitable for their new purpose of stay if the basis for the residence permit granted has ended or if a different basis has emerged. This application should be made as a transition application.

Foreigners who will apply for a residence permit must have a passport or a passport substitute valid for at least sixty days longer than the duration of the requested residence permit. Therefore, an application for a residence permit cannot be made with an expired passport. (An application can be made with an expired passport in the e-Residence system. You can indicate the validity period of your new passport. However, it is required that foreigners have a passport or a passport substitute valid for at least sixty days longer than the duration of the requested residence permit during the evaluation of the residence permit application.)

In short-term and student residence permits, the foreigner's declaration is sufficient unless information and documents are requested by the administration. For a family residence permit, it is necessary for the sponsor to have an income not less than one-third of the minimum wage per family member, provided that the total amount is not less than the minimum wage. For a long-term residence permit, it is required to have sufficient and regular income. The determination of sufficient and regular income can be based on your monthly income at the minimum wage level, as well as having a property that generates income or having sufficient funds in your bank account that are deemed enough to provide for your livelihood in our country.

Residence permit applications are finalized within a maximum of ninety days from the date of processing the application. The ninety-day period starts from the date when all required information and documents are submitted to the relevant authority. In case of any extension to this period, the foreigner is informed accordingly.

It is essential for the foreigner to personally make the residence permit application. However, such applications may also be made through the foreigner's legal representative or an attorney holding a power of attorney.

The assessment that will involve the foreigner can be made at the place where the foreigner is processed, where they were caught or identified by law enforcement units, within the Provincial or District Directorate of Migration Management, at the removal centers, or at another location deemed appropriate by the Provincial Directorate of Migration Management.

Depending on the administrative and physical capacity and other factors at these locations, with the request of the governorship and permission of the General Directorate, if necessary, these foreigners may be referred by law enforcement officers to the Provincial or District Directorate of Migration Management or a removal center in the nearest city where they were caught for the assessment regarding the deportation decision.

You can apply for a residence permit for your intended purpose within the last 60 days before your work permit expires.
