Türkiye is continuing to digitalize immigration procedures through the GÖÇBİL, e-İkamet and UETS systems. Foreign graduates can obtain a one-year residence permit after completing their studies, while students can submit residence applications directly on university campuses.
According to the source, Türkiye is making interaction with immigration authorities easier by moving residence procedures online and allowing students to submit applications on university campuses. The most specific change concerns graduates: after completing their studies, they can obtain a one-year residence permit, giving them additional time to adapt and arrange their next status. This is especially relevant to international students and those planning to remain in Türkiye after graduation; for other newcomers, the digital systems may reduce administrative workload. It is worth following for anyone considering study in Türkiye as a route to subsequent residence or employment.
