If you’re moving to Turkey it will be important to obtain the right visa. The right visa for you depends on the reason you’re moving to Turkey, your nationality and how long you intend to stay in Turkey. So where can I find more information about visas in Turkey? The best place with the most information is the Official Website Of The Ministry Of Foreign Affairs. The Turkish government made it very easy for you to find out whether you need a visa or not.

Some citizens of these nearby countries are allowed to enter Turkey with their national ID’s

Turkey has different kinds of visas:

• Tourist visa
• Official visa
• Student visa
• Working visa
• Other visas

The length of stay provided by visa or visa exemption cannot exceed 90 days within each 180 days. The regulation of 90 days of stay within the last 180 days is binding for all foreigners that will travel to Turkey. Beginning from 5 January 2016, all kinds of applications for Turkish visas will have to be made through the Pre-Application System of Turkish Sticker Visa. They will be directed to the Turkish eVisa website.

Every visa has different rights and conditions, so it’s important to find out what you’re entitled to and what your restrictions are while living in Turkey. Also It might be worthwhile getting the help of a migration agent or lawyer to help navigate your way through the Turkish system.

Can I become a Turkish citizen? Yes, there are several ways of acquiring Turkish nationality. You can become a Turkish citizen with all the accompanying rights through either naturalization, marriage, or birth. You must be over 18 and be living in Turkey. It isn’t necessary to renounce your original nationality when you become a Turkish citizen. Turkey allows dual nationality:

• Naturalization: You may apply if you are over 18 years old. Lived in Turkey for an uninterrupted period of five years prior to the application. The intention to stay in Turkey. Good health and moral character. Knows the Turkish language, no threat to national security and has sufficient income.
• Marriage: A foreign national who has been married to a Turkish citizen for three years and is still married to that partner may apply for naturalization under an easier set of conditions. You have to live with your spouse, in a steady and “real” marriage and also not be a threat to national security.
• If you were born in Turkey or to a Turkish parent
