Foreigners and Citizenship Law

In an increasingly globalized world, DT Law stands out by providing comprehensive legal services in foreigners and citizenship Law. Our firm addresses the needs of both companies and individuals, ensuring seamless navigation through the intricacies of Turkish immigration law and citizenship processes.

Our Services Include:

  • Comprehensive Immigration Services: We offer expert advice on work and residence permits, citizenship applications, and immigration compliance reviews. Our services cover all visa types, including assembly and montage visas. We also assist with professional equivalencies, work permit exemptions, and document procurement and legalization.
  • Work Permits: We assist companies that meet the minimum criteria to sponsor work permits through the entire application process. Our services include drafting the required documentation, assisting with timely application submissions to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, and tracking and following up until the approval and delivery of work permit cards.
  • Residence Permits: Under the Foreigners and International Protection Law, we support clients with all categories of residence permits, including dependent (family) and touristic (short-term) permits. We manage the entire process, from strategizing application timing to tracking and follow-up until approval and delivery of residence permit cards.
  • Work Permit Exemptions: For companies that do not meet the minimum criteria to sponsor work permits but qualify for exemptions, we guide clients through all options and assist with timely application submissions to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Our expertise includes Foreign Direct Investment, key personnel, advanced technology, liaison office representative exemptions, engineer exemptions, and the diploma equivalency process for foreign engineers.
  • Citizenship Acquisition: Türkiye offers various paths to citizenship, including residency, marriage to a Turkish national, and investment. We assist clients in navigating these options, whether through bank deposits, fixed capital investments, real estate purchases, providing employment to Turkish nationals, or investing in government debt instruments, venture capital, or real estate funds.
  • Document Procurement and Legalization: Obtaining and legalizing documents in Türkiye can be challenging, especially for those not physically present. We assist with all document procurement and legalization needs, including marriage and birth certificates, police clearance certificates, diplomas and transcripts, divorce, adoption, and custody decrees, and entry-exit documents. We handle both apostille procedures and legalization requirements for consulates not party to The Hague Convention.

At DT Law, we understand the complexities of immigration and citizenship laws and are committed to providing tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each client. Our goal is to simplify these processes, ensuring a smooth transition for individuals and businesses alike.
