Antalya · Türkiye
Your circumstances shape the questions to ask.
Someone applying for the first time may have different questions from someone who already holds a permit. We help you identify where you are in the process, keep track of practical information and find the relevant official instructions.
Which stage are you at?
The official e-İkamet system distinguishes between these application routes.
Planning your first application
Clarify your purpose of stay, then check the official instructions and supporting information relevant to your circumstances.
Already hold a residence permit
Review your current permit details and check the official extension route before taking action.
Your circumstances have changed
If you are considering a different permit type, confirm which official process may apply.
These are starting points, not an assessment that you qualify for a particular permit.
Practical help with a defined scope.
Move to Antalya helps you navigate the organisational side of the process in English. We discuss what support is relevant before any work begins.
Locate official guidance
Identify which official information relates to your application stage and which points need checking.
Track your preparation

We are an independent support service, not a government office. We do not decide applications, guarantee approval or provide legal representation.
