Renew a Tourist Residence Permit in Turkey

Foreigners holding a Turkish tourist residence permit must apply to renew it no later than two months before the current permit expires. Renewing late leads to fines, blocks on re-entry, and possible deportation orders.

The renewal flow runs through the e-ikamet portal and requires updated proof of address, health insurance, and bank records. This guide details the renewal form, the appointment with the Migration Authority (Göç İdaresi), and the typical processing time for Arab residents.
