Does buying an apartment grant a residence permit?
Yes, purchasing real estate allows you to apply for a tourist residence permit (ikamet). However, the rules change regularly, and in some popular areas (for example, Mahmutlar, Kestel, Kargıcak), the issuance of initial residence permits may be temporarily suspended due to quotas for foreign citizens. It is recommended to уточнить the latest information with real estate agents before purchasing.
