Family Residence Permit in Turkey

The family residence permit is typically granted for up to three years initially, depending on the host's permit validity. It can be renewed as long as the family relationship continues and eligibility conditions are met.

Generally, no. Family residence permit holders are not authorized to work in Turkey. After three years of residence, they may apply for an independent residence permit which does allow employment.

If the host's permit expires, is revoked, or the family relationship ends, family members must apply for a change of status within six months or risk losing their residence rights.
