Turkey is a rapidly expanding immigrant destination.
In 2022, 1.354,094 foreigners received residency permits in Turkey, up from 178,964 in 2005. New immigration legislation changed residency requirements in February 2022. As a result, there has been a surge in the number of people, including those interested in purchasing property in Turkey, applying for resident permits, also known as an ikametgah or kimlik in Turkey. The resident permit is sometimes called a TRC (Temporary Residence Certificate) in Turkey.
In April 2014, a new immigration law was passed that altered the requirements for obtaining resident status. As a result, new categories of people seeking residency permits have emerged, such as those looking to buy property in Turkey.
