Residence
Those without permits, or with expired permits, must pay a one off
fixed fine of TL1190. On payment the applicant must leave the
country, return and start the process again. They can expect to be
admitted on a 90 day visa and should then apply for temporary
residence. The application will not be treated as renewal.
Work permits
Those without permits, on payment of the fine of TL1190, will be
allowed to remain and continue working provided they obtain work
permits and sign up for social insurance and provident fund.
Those who are covered by the terms of the amnesty, but who are
abroad, may be allowed to enter on payment of the fine.
Parents and children over 18 years all need to apply and pay the
fine.
