Hi, i went to Turkey last year, my visa was tourist for 20 days, and i applied my Turkey Residence Permit through an agent having their office in Aksaray. This was terrible experience as they scammed me. They put their phone no and email address at the application instead of mine. I was completely unaware about the applications status.
They get money from me for one year but i didn’t know about their fraud. Show me the fake what’s up message of application submittion appointment. The told me to wait for three months. For trc.
But when i contact 157 and checked at theirs website they told me their is no TRC application on your Passport. They were so cruel. Threatening me as well upon when i ask them.
I emailed to Pakistan consulate in Istanbul and they didn’t help me . I told to 157 they also not helps me.
Then i decided to return to Pakistan but unfortunately i was fined. The visa violation staff didn’t heard my request and ban me for entering turkey for one year.
This is terrible. There is no justice. There is no law?

Hi, I am in Turkiet since may 2022 and my free staying 3 months visa will expire on 2nd of September. I applied for short term resident permit to stay in Turkiet and didn’t get a decision yet from the migration. I am sure the decision will be made after my current visa will be expired. So it is legal to stay in Turkiet during my waiting for permit decision even if the visa expires or I must go back home and wait for the decision be made and if approved then traveling back to Turkiet.
No its legally if u have applied for residence permit appointment you can stay the county until your application get approved or rejected
