On Apostille/Consulate Approval of Residence Permit Documents

Dear Students,

Documents provided from your country with the aim of applying for a residence permit in Turkey are required to be with Apostille or to be approved by the consulate of your country in Turkey. If you present the document issued in your country with Apostille, you just need to have it translated and notarized.

However, if you present the document without Apostille, you are required to have the document approved by the Embassy or the consulate of your country in Turkey.

Furthermore, in cases where you do not have the necessary documents with Apostille or you could not have them approved by your representatives in Turkey or in cases where the representatives give a post-dated appointment for the process, you are required to apply to Provincial Directorate of Migration Management.

Best regards,

Istinye University
