e-İkamet

Turkey's official online residence permit system — where the actual application, not just guidance about it, gets filed. About e-İkamet: e-İkamet is the Presidency of Migration Management's online system for residence permit applications, extensions and appointment scheduling — the formal counterpart to YİMER 157's phone-based guidance. Key Features: Online Applications: Submit residence permit applications and required information through the portal. Appointment Scheduling: Book the in-person appointment required to complete biometrics and submit documents. Application Tracking: Check the status of a submitted residence permit application online. Extension Requests: Existing permit holders can apply for extensions through the same system. How to Get Started: Visit e-ikamet.goc.gov.tr and create an account if you don't already have one. Select the residence permit type matching your situation — short-term, family, student, or other categories. Complete the online application and book your in-person appointment. Attend the appointment with all required original documents. Important Notice: An appointment slot isn't guaranteed to be immediately available — apply and book well ahead of when your current status or visa-free period expires.
