The Student Residence Permit
Please note:
|
International students After you have entered the Republic of Turkey on a student visa, tourist visa, or e-visa, if you are planning to stay more than 90 days, you must obtain a Residence Permit from the Republic of Turkey, Ministry of the Interior, Directorate of Migration Management (İçişleri Bakanlığı Göç İdaresi Genel Müdürlüğü). The central office of the Ministry of the Interior, located in Ankara, decides and implements all of the rules and regulations regarding the visas and residence permits and documents required for them. In Istanbul, the main offices of the Ministry of the Interior are located in the district of Fatih. Please note: The Residence Permit is not issued by Boğaziçi University. The Office of International Relations provides students with the list of documents required for the application and can check your application packet before you submit your documents to review and accept the packets on a pre-arranged date, as described below.

When to apply for the Student Residence Permit Your status as a student can be legally verified by the University only after the online course registration period has finished. During this time, you are in the country on your student visa/tourist visa/e-visa. (Once you have submitted all of your documents to the Office of Immigration, your data will be entered into the system of the Ministry of the Interior and your legal status in the country is secure until receiving your residence permit card.) Residence Permit Application Preparation The Directorate of Migration Management (Göç İdaresi Genel Müdürlüğü) now requires that students submit their application documents in person. When you have collected all of the documents described below, please make an appointment with Nilüfer Kırıcı, who will do a pre-check to make sure that everything is correct so that you aren't turned back at the Immigration Office for having incomplete or incorrectly prepared documents. |

Create an account for yourself with the Ministry of the Interior, Directorate General of Migration Management to fill out, download, and print out your Application Form.
