I have an apartment in Turkey, but I was refused residence permit. What to do?

- Unfortunately, even if you have an apartment in Turkey, there are cases of refusal to obtain a residence permit. Why does this happen? In most cases, the refusal of residence permit comes to those who apply on tapu (certificate of ownership), but the property does not meet the necessary requirements for obtaining this type of residence permit, namely: the cadastral value is less than 200 thousand dollars for properties acquired after 16.10.2023 or the appraised value is less than 50 or 75 thousand dollars for properties acquired before 16.10.2023. - In order to maximize the chances of approval of the application, it is necessary to apply for a tourist type of residence permit, attaching to the application a certificate of ownership of the apartment. Yes, in this case it is also possible to get a refusal, however, if you have real estate, you have a real basis for appealing the decision. Important: You can appeal to the administrative court and challenge the refusal within 60 days from the date of receipt of the notice of refusal.
