Why BKT Tercüme ve Danışmanlık?

An experienced advisory team

Where a case needs legal representation — an objection, an administrative lawsuit, a refusal decision — we state plainly where our consultancy ends.

Grounded in the legislation

We state plainly which law and regulation each service rests on: Laws No. 6735, 6458 and 5901 and the related implementing rules.

Transparency on process and fees

Before we begin, the document list, the steps, a realistic time expectation and the total fee are shared in writing.

One point of contact

Your case is assigned to one person; you speak to the same individual at every stage and follow the process from a single place.

How we work

A four-step process you can see from start to finish. You know in advance what happens at each step.

  1. 1

    Free initial assessment

    We listen to your situation and tell you plainly which application is possible and which carries risk. We do not promise outcomes; we explain the likelihood.

  2. 2

    A written roadmap

    The document list, the steps, an estimated timeline and the total fee are shared in writing. No surprise items.

  3. 3

    Documents, translation and application

    We obtain the documents, arrange the apostille and sworn translation, and submit the application.

  4. 4

    Follow-up and outcome

    Your case is followed until it concludes; requests for missing documents are answered on time, and afterwards we remind you of the extension calendar.

Which application is right for you?

Procedures for foreign nationals in Türkiye are interconnected; the status obtained in one area becomes a condition in the next. Setting the right order from the start usually prevents a refusal and the cost of starting over.

Staying and working

For anyone staying in Türkiye longer than ninety days, the starting point is the residence permit. If you will work, a work permit is added; if you will study, the student process is added; in both cases health insurance is a mandatory attachment. Related pages: residence permit consultancy, work permit consultancy, consultancy for foreign students and health insurance for foreigners.

Citizenship and family

A Turkish citizenship application can proceed by the ordinary route through long-term residence, by the exceptional route, or through investment. Official marriage to a foreign national is a separate procedure, and marriage alone does not confer citizenship; it has conditions of its own. Related pages: Turkish citizenship consultancy and official marriage procedures with foreign nationals.

Company and investment

For commercial activity, company formation is weighed against the branch and liaison office options; a liaison office cannot generate commercial income, and this distinction should be known from the outset. After incorporation comes the tax number and bank account step. Related pages: company formation for foreign nationals, branch and liaison office setup, tax number and bank account and foreign trade consultancy.

Problem files

If there is a past violation, the situation has to be established first. New applications made before these records are cleared are usually refused on the same grounds. Related pages: visa violation and administrative fine, entry ban and restriction code, deportation removal consultancy and visa application consultancy.

Foreign documents for your file

Most applications require that civil status, marriage, diploma or criminal record documents issued abroad be made acceptable to Turkish institutions. That means two steps: first the certification of the document, then its certified translation.

Related pages: apostille and consular certification, notarised translation, academic translation and medical translation.

Because the translation and certification work is carried out here as well, you do not need to take your paperwork to a second place. For all translation areas: translation services.

Tell us about your situation and we will get back to you

Your name, a telephone number and a short summary of your situation are enough. When you submit the form, your details open as a ready-made message on WhatsApp; you can review it before sending.

By submitting the form you consent to your personal data being processed solely within the scope of this enquiry.

Privacy Policy

Let us determine together which application suits you

The initial consultation is free; instead of promising outcomes, we give you a realistic assessment.

You can reach us on weekdays between 09:00 and 18:00. The first consultation is free of charge; the fee and the timeline are set out in writing at that meeting.

Corporate consultancy: companies employing foreign staff

We provide corporate consultancy to companies that employ foreign staff. Work permits for several employees, permit extensions, the employer's notification obligations and the sworn translation of company documents are all handled in a single file, so you do not have to follow a separate process for each employee.

As part of our corporate consultancy we put permit expiry dates on the calendar and warn you in advance about the extension application. Company formation, branch office and liaison office processes are also handled by the same team.
