Turkish immigration law allows a removal decision to be challenged before an administrative court within seven days of notification. Possible grounds for removal include serious visa or residence violations, unauthorized work, false documents and findings involving public order, security or health.
According to the source, the seven-day period begins when the removal decision is notified, creating a short window for court action. The risk is not limited to overstays: unauthorized work, false documents and conduct connected with public order, security or health may also lead to removal proceedings. For people planning a move, this reinforces that a residence permit alone does not authorize employment and that immigration documents must remain valid. The rule deserves particular attention from workers and residents who receive a removal decision because delay can jeopardize the available appeal period.
