Turkish Residency Permit of Up to Two Years for University Graduates

Turkey is making a strategic move to attract skilled professionals and young entrepreneurs. Under the new rules, foreign graduates of Turkish higher education institutions are entitled to apply for a residency permit to build a career, launch business ventures, and integrate into the country's economy.


Key Terms and Regulations

  • Application deadline: The residency application must be submitted within 6 months of receiving the diploma.
  • Validity period: Upon meeting the established criteria, resident status is granted for up to 2 years.
  • Renewal prospects: An extension of the status for a further 1 year is available.
  • Intended purpose: Job seeking, professional internships, and starting or developing a business.


Investing in the Future: Education and Relocation The initiative significantly enhances Turkey's investment appeal and reputation. The ability to remain in the country legally after completing studies allows graduates and their families to take a measured approach to relocation, premium real estate acquisition, and long-term wealth building.
