The Legal Istanbul

RESIDENCE PERMIT

Living legally in Turkey starts with the right permit — and the right guidance. Whether you are arriving for the first time, renewing an existing permit, or changing your status, the process involves strict deadlines, specific documents, and zero tolerance for mistakes. We handle every permit type, every step of the way, so your life in Turkey is built on solid legal ground.

WORK PERMIT

Working in Turkey without a valid permit is not a grey area — it is illegal, and the consequences affect both you and your employer. Getting it right from the start means understanding which permit type fits your situation, meeting the employer eligibility criteria, and submitting a complete file to the Ministry. We manage the entire process so your career in Turkey begins without legal complications.

TURKISH CITIZENSHIP

A Turkish passport opens doors — visa-free travel, property rights, business freedom, and the security of belonging. Turkey offers several legitimate pathways to citizenship, and the right one depends entirely on your personal situation. We assess your eligibility honestly, prepare your application thoroughly, and guide you from first consultation to the day you hold your Turkish ID.

COMPANY FORMATION

Starting a business in Turkey as a foreign national is more straightforward than most people expect — if you know the system. The right company structure, correctly registered, opens the door to work permits, banking, contracts, and a genuine legal presence in one of the region’s most dynamic markets. We handle the entire formation process, from structure selection to trade registry and tax office registration, so your business in Turkey starts on solid ground.

DEPORTATION AND LEGAL DEFENSE

Receiving a deportation order or discovering an entry ban on your record is frightening — but it is not always the end of the road. Turkish administrative law provides real options for challenge, appeal, and resolution. What it does not provide is unlimited time. We act quickly, assess your case clearly, and pursue every available legal avenue to protect your right to remain in Turkey

STUDENT CONSULTANCY

Studying in Turkey is an increasingly popular choice — strong universities, affordable living, and a city like Istanbul that makes every other option feel ordinary. But before lectures start, there are permits to obtain, documents to certify, and deadlines to meet. We handle the paperwork side of your student journey so you can focus entirely on the academic one.

REAL ESTATE CONSULTANCY

Finding a home or office in Istanbul as a foreigner involves more than browsing listings. Neighbourhood restrictions, contract clauses, title deed verification, and the link between your property and your residence permit all require careful attention. We combine local market knowledge with legal oversight — so what you sign is fair, and what you move into is exactly what you agreed to.
