As the ICO, we advise that you wait for your residence permit card to arrive before you leave the country.

Departing from Türkiye before your residence permit application is evaluated may result in the rejection of your application.

If you must leave the borders prior to your residence permit card arrival, you can do so after your residence permit application is evaluated positively.

To check the status of your application, please follow the information on our Tracking SRP page. 

If your residence permit application is evaluated positively, you may download the “Müracaat Belgesi” on the application result page and exit the borders with it for only 15 days.

NOTE: If you came to Türkiye with a visa exemption/multiple entry visa, you do not need to wait for your residence permit application to be approved to exit the borders. You may consult the Migration Directorate regarding this matter by calling 157 prior to your departure.
