Foreigners Law
Foreigners Law is a branch of law that regulates the legal status of foreign nationals residing in Türkiye, in matters such as residence, work, citizenship, acquisition of immovable property, and deportation decisions. This area has gained significant importance in recent years, especially with the increase in migration processes. For foreigners who wish to live, work, invest, or acquire citizenship in Türkiye, proper management of these procedures is critical to prevent legal mistakes that may lead to irreversible consequences.
As Uzunpınar & Tüfek International Law Firm, we meticulously manage the legal processes of individuals and institutions in Türkiye, with our many years of experience in the field of foreigners law. Residence permit applications made for tourism, student, or family reunification purposes may result in serious loss of rights if not submitted on time and completely. Our firm offers the most effective legal solutions, especially in cases involving extension of residence permits and visa violations.
For foreign individuals and employers who wish to obtain a work permit in Türkiye, we handle the application procedures before the Ministry of Labour and Social Security on your behalf. In addition, we offer professional support at every stage of acquiring Turkish citizenship through marriage or investment. Proper preparation of documents required in citizenship applications and legal follow-up of the process are of great importance to avoid potential rejections.
Another frequently encountered issue is deportation decisions (being expelled from the country), for which we provide legal objection procedures for foreigners. We meticulously manage objection to deportation, requests for suspension of execution, and litigation processes; thereby securing the right to remain in Türkiye. Furthermore, in refugee and international protection applications, we handle all applications and follow-up procedures required for your asylum requests to be evaluated in accordance with the law.
Our firm is also specialized in legal processes related to foreigners acquiring real estate in Türkiye and establishing foreign-capital companies. We provide consultancy services regarding title deed transactions, legal restrictions, permissions from the Ministry of Trade, and partnership structures; thereby strengthening the legal foundation of the initiatives of foreign investors in Türkiye.
