  2. Good morning. I’m a Nigerian. My resident permit expired July and I have given an agent to help me apply a month before the expiration. I got to know that the agent didn’t book until august and my resident has already expired. He later posted the application on November. I have been calling 157 and they always tell me it’s on process. I have been to the immigration many times and I was told to wait for message and still I don’t get message. It’s more than 100 days from the date my application was posted to the ptt. I’m confused and I want to leave the country. I want to know which stamp will be on my passport at the airport but I’m aware that a fine needs to be paid at the airport and I’m ready to pay. What’s the possibility of me getting a visa to come to turkey?

    1. Hello,
      If you will pay the fine for overstaying while leaving Turkey you will not be banned to reenter the country. You should stay out of Turkey for at least three months before you can reenter with new visa. Unfortunately we can not know if the overstay will have an influence on your future visa application as every case is evaluated individually. Offcial time of evaluation for residence permit applications is 90 days, we recommend you to stay in Turkey if possible until receiving the result to avoid any difficulties with obtaining visa in the future.

In order to obtain work permit, first you need to find a job in Turkey and your future employer must apply for your work permit.

    1. Hello,
      Foreigners are allowed to establish a business in Turkey with minimum registered capital of 10.000 TL, however in order to obtain work permit as a company owner paid capital must be at least 100.000 TL and you must employ 5 Turkish citizens per each foreigner in the company. You do not need any documents from your home country to establish a company in Turkey, translation of your passport and biometric photograph would be enough. All of the other required documents must be prepared by licensed financial advisor.
