🇹🇷 Turkey · Permanent Residency
Permanent residency and golden-visa paths: eligibility, required years, investment thresholds, and official checklists.
Türkiye’s long-term residence permit is the closest analogue to permanent residence, but it is distinct from Turkish citizenship and has its own eight-year continuous-residence test.
- Migration Management says long-term residence may be issued to foreigners who have continuously resided in Türkiye for at least eight years on permits, subject to Ministry approval.
- Conditions include stable income, valid medical insurance, no recent social assistance and no public-order or security threat.
- Long-term residence grants many citizen-like rights but excludes voting, election, military-service and some public-service/customs rights.
