INFORMATION ON RESIDENCE VISA REQUIREMENTS
If you wish to reside in Turkey longer than the normal period allowed to tourists or set up a business with or without a Turkish partner, you will need a residence visa.

Please note that applications must be referred to the relevant Turkish authorities for their approval. Therefore, applicants are advised to contact this Consulate General to find out the outcome in due course. (Nationals of European Union countries and nationals of Australia, Canada, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland and USA may be issued a one year resident visa in a week depending on their circumstances).
After obtaining the visa, you are required to register with the local police within a month following the arrival in Turkey in order to obtain a residence permit. If you wish to extend your permit for a further period, you should apply to the same police headquarters before the permit expires.
Household items may be taken into Turkey through a system called "temporary import" provided that the validity of the residence permit is not less than one year. For details of the relevant regulation please contact with the Office of the Finance and Customs Counsellor at Turkish Embassy in London which can also provide information on the regulation concerning the temporary import of a car into Turkey.
