Foreigners Law

Immigration law is the legal field that regulates matters such as residence, employment, deportation, and international protection for foreign nationals in Turkey. Karayel Law Firm offers comprehensive legal services in areas including residence permits, work permits, appeals against deportation orders, temporary protection, and asylum applications to help foreigners maintain their legal status in Turkey.

Residence permit applications are the first step for foreigners to legally stay in Turkey. These permits are issued in various categories, including short-term, family, student, and long-term residence. Karayel Law Firm oversees the entire application process before the Directorate General of Migration Management and meticulously prepares the necessary documentation.

To work legally in Turkey, foreign nationals must obtain a work permit from the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Both the employer and the foreign employee must meet specific criteria. Karayel Law Firm manages the entire process on behalf of individuals and companies, ensuring a swift and error-free application.

Deportation decisions involve the forced removal of a foreigner from Turkey. These decisions can be challenged before administrative courts within specific legal timeframes. Karayel Law Firm provides urgent legal intervention and manages the litigation process for individuals facing deportation or under the threat of removal.

International protection applications aim to safeguard individuals who flee to Turkey due to war, persecution, or serious human rights violations. Any error in the legal process may jeopardize an individual's right to life. Karayel Law Firm provides rights-based consultancy and strong legal representation in such sensitive cases.

Marriage and citizenship applications are also commonly encountered issues under immigration law. Foreigners seeking legal status in Turkey through marriage must ensure that their documentation is complete and accurate. Karayel Law Firm closely monitors all procedures related to family reunification and citizenship through marriage.

Karayel Law Firm adopts an approach focused on protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals in the field of immigration law. We offer strong legal support and effective representation in all application, objection, and litigation processes for foreigners seeking to secure their legal status in Turkey.
