Requests from Russians who decided to obtain a residence permit in Turkey have been ignored by local officials since December 26. According to “Currenttime”, either officials cancel visits or refuse to issue documents.

“First, they demanded to provide confirmation of remote work for the application for a residence permit, and people found out about this already retroactively, then information began to appear about refusals of a residence permit, and today they canceled my rendezvous, at which I had to submit documents,” says a Russian from Fethiye. Another Russian who rented an apartment in Izmir for a year says that he and his wife were denied a residence permit with the wording "

Without a visa, Russians can stay in Turkey without a break for 60 days in half a year and 90 days - with departure. Then you need to leave for 90 days in another country, and you can start the cycle again. A tourist residence permit gives the right to stay in Turkey for a year, previously it only required proof of income and a notarized rental agreement for six months.

A VPost source in the Turkish diplomatic mission in Moscow said that the refusals are related to changes in the requirements for applicants and the list of documents to be submitted.. In his opinion, clarity should come in the coming days..

This is the third change for foreigners in a year. In March, they stopped issuing and renewing a tourist residence permit in tourist Antalya, and in June they banned changing their place of residence after submitting documents in many regions of the country popular with tourists.
