All questionsWhat are your practice areas?
The practice covers immigration law, administrative law, human rights, employment law, real estate and tenancy, and criminal law. Administrative work extends beyond immigration decisions. Alongside residence, citizenship and work permits, matters include employment and housing disputes affecting foreign nationals.
How can I challenge an administrative decision?
The appropriate route depends on the nature of the decision and applicable legislation. An application to the authority, an annulment action or a compensation claim may involve different requirements. The reasons for the decision, notification details and previous applications should be considered together.
Are residence permits and work permits the same?
A residence permit concerns permission to stay in Türkiye; a work permit concerns permission to work. A residence permit alone does not authorise employment. A work permit generally also serves as a residence permit, with exceptions for certain protection statuses. The individual’s status and intended work should be considered together.
