Student residence in Turkey

Education is a weapon to improve one's life, and it is one of the most important tools of change that elevate peoples to high ranks among nations. Education improves knowledge and skills, develops personality, copes with difficulties, and becomes aware of surrounding situations. The Turkish government has taken care of students in general, whether they are its children or foreigners coming to it, and it has put in place a package of laws and incentive measures to encourage education in all scientific and literary fields. Benefits and support for students, facilitation of legal procedures and financial support for them were the focus of the laws. Today we will talk about the first steps that any foreign student in Turkey must take after registering in the educational institution, which is residence.


Study residence permit

In Turkey, this document is considered as an identity card, giving its holder of the student the right to live on Turkish territory legally. It also contains personal information such as the student's name and date of birth in addition to gender (male/female) and nationality, along with the student's personal photo with the national TC number. 
Foreigners who receive their education in a higher education institution in Turkey, whether it is an institute, university, master's or doctorate, are entitled to obtain student residence. As well as the student who receives his education at the basic or intermediate level (primary - preparatory - secondary), whose sponsorship has been adopted and the obligation to secure his expenses by a certain party with the approval of his guardian or his legal representative throughout his education and for a period of time equivalent to one year at a time.

 
How to obtain student residence  

After preparing all the papers that require the student’s residence, the student must go to the Immigration Department within the specified time and submit the papers to the employee in the Immigration Department, and then the student is given a document so that he can move in Turkey pending the approval of granting him the student card, and then sent to his address via ptt mail. The student is not required to submit a bank statement and a rental contract to obtain residency, as in the tourist, and the student's residency does not give the student the right to apply for Turkish citizenship after 5 years, as in the work residency. 

What are the conditions for granting student residence in Turkey 

  1. Student residence is granted to foreign students who will receive their higher education (institutes, universities, master's or doctorate) in Turkey. 
  2. Students who receive basic and intermediate education in Turkey can obtain this residence permit, but provided that their sponsorship and expenses are adopted by real or legal persons (associations), after the approval of their parents, or their legal representative, and it is renewed every year of the study years for one year one. 
  3. A student whose education period in Turkey does not exceed one year shall not obtain residency. 
  4. A foreign student who has obtained a student residence is not entitled to grant permission to one of his relatives - whether parents or brothers - to reside in Turkey according to his residence.

What are the advantages of a student's stay in Turkey?

  • The student has the right to live in Turkey for the duration of his studies legally. 
  • Student residence costs are less than tourist residence costs, and its procedures and conditions are easier. 
  • The student in Turkey obtains the students' transportation card, which is a reduced value card, which allows the student to move in all transportation within the state in which he resides at a low cost. 
  • The Turkish government grants students significant discounts in treatment, health insurance, and Turkish government hospitals. 
  • Candidacy for exceptional Turkish citizenship through the application process. 
  • Coordination between the Turkish Ministry of Higher Education and the Turkish Ministry of Social Insurance and Labor creating principles and foundations for the work of students with student residence. 

Documents required to apply for student residence 

  1. Health insurance: The insurance must be extracted from Turkey and is not accepted from another country. 
  2. Passport: A copy of the first and second pages of the passport, translated and certified by the notary, with the entry stamp or a copy of the visa. 
  3. Letter of acceptance (student proof): Obtained after the final acceptance from the educational institution in Turkey. 
  4. Appointment paper from the Migration Department: The appointment is booked electronically from the Migration Department via the following website: https://e-ikamet.goc.gov.tr 
  5. Photos: four personal biometric photos with white background.


The cost of student residence in Turkey 

The total application costs are estimated between 380 to 650 liras, divided between the value of the student’s health insurance, which is equivalent to about 300 liras annually, and state fees, which vary according to the student’s nationality, ranging from 80 to 350 liras. 


Does the student have the right to work while studying? 

College, university, master’s and doctoral students have the right to work provided they obtain a work permit. However, for college and university students, the right to work begins after the first year and does not exceed twenty-four hours per week. The residence permit period for a student whose education period is less than one year cannot exceed this period of education, meaning that if he is enrolled in a six-month course, the period of residence is six months.
