Türkiye has introduced facilitated residence-permit procedures for people of Turkic origin. Appointment periods are limited to a maximum of three days, and permits are to be issued for the maximum period allowed when applicants meet the requirements; coordination on work permits was also announced.
According to the source, the changes speed up the administrative side of residence-permit applications for people of Turkic origin: appointments should take no more than three days, and qualifying applicants should receive permits for the maximum permitted period. This may reduce waiting time and simplify contact with immigration authorities, while the underlying eligibility requirements remain in place. Regional offices are intended to process these cases more quickly, and coordination on work permits matters to people planning to work in Türkiye. The measure is most relevant to applicants of Turkic origin who are arranging residence or employment in the country.
