A one-stop office has opened at the Istanbul Finance Center, allowing foreign investors, company employees and their family members to access several public services in one location. Services include residence permits, address registration, foreigner identification numbers, biometric procedures and selected work-permit processes.
According to the official source, the new office brings together immigration and employment-related procedures for foreigners, with applications handled through a digital portal. This may simplify the administrative side of relocation for investors, company employees and their families, particularly when residence and work procedures are handled together. The initiative does not change the general eligibility grounds for permits, but it affects access to services and the way applications are processed. It is especially relevant to people relocating to Istanbul for work or investment projects.
