The Turkish Immigration Department has announced that starting April 15, anyone applying for an extension of their residence permit (all types) must use the UETS system.
UETS, or the National Electronic Notification System, is a virtual mail center provided by PTT (the Turkish postal service). It functions like an email or Edevlet account, where all government and official notifications are sent.

Present the printed page to the residence office as required.
