Route residence or work permit needs
Residence and work permit
Residence and work permit are separate decisions
Turkey has short-term, family, student, long-term, humanitarian and human-trafficking-victim residence permits. Work permit is handled through the labour authority and usually gives residence rights during validity.
Residence and work permitShort-term residence
Business connection, property ownership, tourism, education or approved stay reasons through e-ikamet.
Work permit
Employer or company-backed process through the Ministry of Labour; different from tourist residence.
Family and student residence
Separate routes for family members and education-based stay.
Long-term residence
Longer history and statutory conditions; not a first-entry shortcut.
Accounting and tax
SMMM, e-transformation and monthly compliance
The Turkey page follows a modern accounting office model: clear setup packages, transparent monthly compliance, payroll, VAT, social security and e-document flow.
Accounting and taxMonthly accounting
Bookkeeping, declarations, KDV, withholding, corporate or income tax calendar.
