From the date on which information and documents have been fully submitted by Applicants and accepted by the competent authority, the ninety-day period begins.
The ninety-day period is the timeframe during which TWO ATTEMPTS will be made by the PTT to deliver your permit to your home address.
Foreigners can exit from turkey with the residence permit application document approved by the Directorate along with the fee receipt on condition of re-entry within 15 days. However, in case of staying abroad for more than 15 days, the provisions of the tourist visa shall apply to the foreigner. In other words, your 90/180 tourist visa kicks in.
If your Permit has not been received by you at your home, the PTT will NOT hold it but, will then send it directly to the Migration office: Kuşadası İlçe Göç İdaresi Müdürlüğü (local foreigners police station).
The Göç office will keep permits for approximately one month before sending to Aydin where arrangements can be made for collection.
Contact the Foreign Citizens Advice Center in Kusadasi who can track your permit card for you and assist with collection arrangements. WhatsApp: 009 0541 9010682 or email: support@adviceturkey.org
