Turkey has introduced important changes to its migration regulations, making long-term residence in the country more convenient for foreign families. The new rules directly affect families of foreigners who live in Turkey with a residence permit.

Under the updated regulations, unmarried adult children of foreigners over the age of 18 who continue to live with their parents can now renew their residence permits even after the age of 25. Previously, this type of residence permit could only be extended up to the age of 25, but this age limit has now effectively been removed, provided certain conditions are met.

The main requirement for renewal is an official certificate of marital status, which must be apostilled. This document confirms that the adult child is not married and continues to live as part of the family.

Experts note that this change significantly simplifies life for foreign families planning long-term residence in Turkey. It is particularly relevant for families whose adult children are continuing their education, are financially dependent on their parents, or live together as one household.

For foreign property buyers in Kemer and other regions of Turkey, this update further increases the country’s attractiveness as a stable and family-friendly destination.
