    Turkey has a law that allows any foreigner to stay in the country for 3 months (90 days) without the need for a visa and administrative work, and after that, you must take steps to extend your stay. So if you want to stay more than 3 months, you need a Kimlik card.

Kimlik card is issued by the Turkish government today and people who intend to travel or stay in this country can receive it. This card has all the information of the person, even the address of his residence, and all this information is registered in the dependent and related system of these cards.
