When it comes to getting your residence permit, whether it is temporary or permanent, you should know that there are some restriction as to where you want to stay.

Due to the recent changes in the residence laws and the implementation of these laws regarding the non-extension of tourist stays for more than a year, you should consider the places where it is not possible to obtain residence permit for renting the property.

This issue is becoming more visible since each district can only accommodate 25% of tourist population. Even if it is your first time residing in Turkey, your residency application will be rejected if you decide to stay in these areas.

Still, please keep in mind that your visa application may still be rejected even if you are not staying in these parts.
