Neighborhood closure announcement for foreign new residence permit applications

Neighborhood Closure Announcement for Foreigners' New Residence Permit (Residence) Applications
The Directorate of Migration Management made a new announcement on 30.06.2022 regarding the application 
for residence permit (residence) in Turkey. According to the state immigration policy, foreigners cannot exceed
 20% of the population in a neighborhood and 10% of the population in a town/district and city.

The Directorate of Migration Management begins to apply this population separation rule as of July 1, 2022. There are 1169 closed neighborhoods in 58 different provinces for new applications. Therefore, new foreign candidates cannot obtain a residence permit
 even if they buy property in these closed neighborhoods.

There are approximately 4 million Syrian refugees scattered all over the country, especially on the Syrian border. Most of the closed neighborhoods are residential areas in Gaziantep, Kilis, Şanlıurfa and Hatay, which are the border provinces of Syria.
There are around a few hundred thousand investors who have bought properties and obtained residence permits across the country. 
Foreigners should know that you are purchasing a property from the restricted area. Antalya LTA EMLAK will guide you professionally 
from the purchase stage until you get your residence permit.

Q: What should I do for Turkish Citizenship by Investment?
A: You also need to pay attention to the list. Certificates of conformity will not be issued in these neighborhoods. Citizenship applications require high knowledge and experience. Antalya LTA EMLAK team will guide you for a smooth citizenship process. For 
details, you can visit the Citizenship in Turkey page.

Q: What happens to my current residence permit?
A: Even if the title holders are in these closed neighborhoods, they continue to receive residence permit renewals.

Closed quarters are listed below.
