Every year, millions of foreigners come to Turkey for various purposes. However, some of them face deportation (deportation) and even restrictive measures if they do not pay due attention to compliance with local legislation.<\/p>\n
In the case of deportation (deportation), a specific restriction code may be indicated in the documents of the foreigner, which is determined based on the reasons for such a decision. This code may impose a ban on re-entry into the Republic of Turkey for a period of one month to five years, and in some cases even for an indefinite period of time.<\/p>\n
A restriction code is a code that in some cases informs the foreigner, and in some cases indicates the reason for the ban or deportation. The reasons for setting the restriction codes differ from each other. Depending on the importance of the action taken, the duration of the restriction varies.<\/p>\n
List and brief description of the restriction codes:<\/p>\n
Let’s look at some of them.<\/p>\n
Obtaining a residence permit for foreigners with the V-68 code is possible only if approved by the Ministry.\u00a0For these people, the process of obtaining a residence permit proceeds differently from the usual process and requires additional permission.<\/p>\n
V-69 applies to those who have received a residence permit in Turkey and then cancelled if the rules of residence are not followed.\u00a0For example;\u00a0In cases where the documents required for residence are forged, the restriction code V-69 is established and the person is not issued a residence permit for 5 years.<\/p>\n
Foreigners who have entered into a fictitious marriage in order to obtain a residence permit in Turkey are prohibited from entering Turkey for up to 5 years with the imposition of a restrictive code V-70 on them in case of detection.<\/p>\n
V-72 is a code assigned to foreigners who do not inform the relevant authorities by changing their address when obtaining a residence permit, or who live at an address other than the one they actually declared.\u00a0This can be solved by an administrative application.<\/p>\n
V-74 is a restriction code imposed on foreigners who must notify the Ministry or the governorate of their departure before leaving Turkey.\u00a0It can be removed by an administrative application or a lawsuit.<\/p>\n
If, as a result of the necessary investigations, it becomes clear that applicants claiming to be Meskhetian Turks are not Meskhetians, a restriction code V-77 is established so that they cannot apply for the Meskhetian-Turkic language again.<\/p>\n
V-84 is issued if foreign citizens who have entered within 10 days of receiving a residence permit do not apply to foreign institutions for a residence permit within 10 days, and a temporary entry ban is applied.<\/p>\n
V-87 is a restriction code imposed on foreigners who have temporary protection status in Turkey and voluntarily return to their country.<\/p>\n
The V-88 is issued to foreigners who have a work permit but whose work permit has been revoked.\u00a0Depending on the reasons for the cancellation of the work permit, a fine and a ban on entry to Turkey may also be imposed.\u00a0This should be resolved with an annotated invitation, a new work permit application, or an administrative claim.<\/p>\n
V-91 is applied to foreigners who have temporary protection status and are subject to permission to leave the country.\u00a0These persons must obtain permission from the relevant authorities before leaving the country.\u00a0The code can be deleted administratively or in court.<\/p>\n
V-92 is a code for foreigners under temporary protection status, and dual registration is open.\u00a0It is necessary to submit an administrative application to correct the double registration, if it was not corrected spontaneously.<\/p>\n
Some foreigners who have been deported are not immediately forcibly deported, but are offered to leave Turkey, giving them 15 days.\u00a0These persons must leave Turkey within 15 days.\u00a0If they are still in Turkey after 15 days, the deportation decision will be applied immediately and an entry ban will be imposed.\u00a0These people are assigned the code V-137.<\/p>\n
Some foreigners who have been ordered deported may not be able to return to their country, or if they return, that person’s life may be in danger.\u00a0In these cases, the foreigner may be deported to a third country.\u00a0If this is not possible, the foreigner will not be deported and a residence permit will be issued for humanitarian reasons.\u00a0In this process, the person is assigned the code V-144.\u00a0It can be deleted using the annotated visa method.<\/p>\n
In practice, marks are placed in the passports of some Turkish citizens against whom a criminal case has been initiated with the code V-146.\u00a0In some cases, the passport applications of these people are not finalized.\u00a0This situation is actually a violation of the law and it is necessary to go to court after an administrative application.<\/p>\n
Sometimes the spouses of people in the situation we mentioned above also have an annotation of the V-147 code in their passports, and the same practice applies to these people.\u00a0This situation represents a more serious violation of the law and should be referred to the court after filing an administrative claim.<\/p>\n
Some foreigners may stay in temporary accommodation facilities, depending on the circumstances of the situation.\u00a0In this case, these people are assigned the code V-148. This is an information code that can be deleted using the administrative application after the placement process is completed.<\/p>\n
As we will discuss below, you can file a lawsuit against the deportation decision in the administrative court.\u00a0In this case, the person is not deported.\u00a0In this regard, the person may be assigned the code V-154. This is information code, not malicious code.\u00a0The case is eventually deleted.<\/p>\n
V-157 is the code for foreigners whose applications for a residence permit have been rejected.\u00a0To cancel the code, you must apply for a legal visa or file a claim with the administrative court for refusal to grant a residence permit.<\/p>\n
The identity cards of persons working in foreign missions or their family members may be cancelled for one reason or another.\u00a0In this case, the relevant persons are assigned the restriction code V-158. Depending on the reason for the cancellation of the card, it may be resolved by an administrative application or a lawsuit.<\/p>\n
V-159 is placed on foreigners arriving in the country in transit. This is an information code and does not harm a foreigner.<\/p>\n
G-26 is a code for foreigners who participate in or are suspected of illegal activities of organizations.\u00a0However, it can be removed in court.<\/p>\n
G-34 is a code that is assigned to foreigners who commit or are suspected of committing fraudulent crimes.\u00a0However, it can be removed in court.<\/p>\n

G-67 is a code assigned to foreigners who commit or are suspected of committing fraudulent crimes.\u00a0However, it can be removed in court.<\/p>\n
Foreigners with an infectious disease are prohibited from entering Turkey indefinitely by posting the restriction code G-78.\u00a0However, if an erroneous diagnosis has been made or if the foreigner has received treatment and regained his health, the ban on entry to Turkey will be lifted as a result of submitting an application.\u00a0You should consult with a lawyer about whether this application will be filed together with a lawsuit or an administrative application.<\/p>\n
G-82 is a code for foreigners who act or are suspected of participating in activities against national security.\u00a0It is similar to the G-87 code mentioned below.\u00a0It can be put on the basis of intelligence information like him.\u00a0However, it can be removed in court.<\/p>\n
According to some sources, such as the security service, the national intelligence Agency, a restrictive code G-87 may be imposed on foreigners, and these people are deported.<\/p>\n
In practice, in most cases, this is due to the fact that intelligence reports are haphazard in nature and are not based on any specific evidence. In most cases, intelligence reports on a foreigner only on the basis of suspicion and informs the immigration administration about it. In these cases, it is possible to remove this code by filing a lawsuit.<\/p>\n
In addition, the deportation of some people with the G-87 code has put their lives at risk in their own countries.\u00a0In the case before the Constitutional Court, this procedure was canceled, and the person was not deported on the grounds that in the case of deportation of a person with the restriction code G-87, his life would be in danger, and the person would not pose a certain danger, a danger from the point of view of general security.<\/p>\n
\u00c7-101; Issued to foreigners who violate the rules for issuing visas, visa-free entry, residence permit and work permit.\u00a0In addition to these persons, a fine and a ban on entering the hostel are applied.\u00a0It can be resolved through an annotated visa or a lawsuit, while the ban on entry to Turkey is lifted.<\/p>\n

Foreigners who entered Turkey illegally are prohibited from entering Turkey for 2 years by setting the restriction code \u00c7-113, and an administrative fine is imposed. If an administrative fine is paid, entry to Turkey is impossible only for 2 years, and if an administrative fine is not paid, entry to Turkey is blocked for another 2 years.<\/p>\n
Since an administrative fine is also an administrative action, there is a possibility of judicial protection.\u00a0The claim must be filed in the right court at the right time.<\/p>\n
If you are in Turkey in court, you will be banned from entering Turkey for 2 years, regardless of whether you are guilty or not.\u00a0It can be solved administratively.<\/p>\n
Those who have committed a crime and served their sentence in Turkey will be banned from entering Turkey for a period of one year.\u00a0It can be solved administratively.<\/p>\n
Foreigners who act against public morality or threaten public health are prohibited from re-entering Turkey for 1 period.<\/p>\n
Bars, nightclubs, etc.\u00a0Regarding foreign women taken from entertainment establishments, the protocol of detention by law enforcement officers says that “it is considered that they arrived at the place for the purpose of prostitution” and only with this application the residence permit or work permit of foreign women is canceled, and foreigners can be deported for this reason.
\nAlthough there is no situation with prostitution, unfortunately, in practice we meet many such examples.\u00a0We are getting positive results in the cases that we have opened on this issue.<\/p>\n
Foreigners working illegally in Turkey are prohibited from re-entering Turkey for 1 year by establishing the restriction code \u00c7-117.\u00a0Administrative fines are also applied.\u00a0This can be solved by the annotated visa method.<\/p>\n
When it turns out that foreigners who have received a residence permit in Turkey use their residence permit for other purposes, they are prohibited from entering Turkey for 5 years using the restriction code \u00c7-118.\u00a0Re-entry to Turkey is possible upon receipt of an annotated visa.<\/p>\n
If the administrative fine imposed on a foreigner working illegally in Turkey is not paid when leaving Turkey, the code \u00c7-119 is processed and they are prohibited from entering Turkey for 5 years. The situation can be resolved using the annotated visa method.<\/p>\n
If the administrative fine applied to foreigners who violated a visa or residence permit is not paid upon leaving Turkey, the restriction code \u00c7-120 is processed, prohibiting them from re-entering Turkey for 5 years.\u00a0In fact, as we explained above, the sanctions that should be applied in case of violation of the visa regime have been diversified with the new regulations.\u00a0Since visa violation is an extensive topic, we have written a separate article on this topic.\u00a0We have given the link above.<\/p>\n
Administrative fines are imposed on foreigners and foreigners who violate the Law on International Protection.\u00a0If this fine is not paid, they will be banned from entering Turkey for 5 years by setting the restriction code \u00c7-135.\u00a0The code can be deleted after receiving an annotated visa.<\/p>\n
If foreigners cannot cover their travel expenses during deportation, they are covered by the Republic of Turkey, and these expenses must be paid for re-entry by processing the restriction code \u00c7-136.<\/p>\n
If foreigners who have been invited by the immigration administration to leave Turkey during certain periods do not invite Turkey during these periods, they are prohibited from entering Turkey for 5 years by processing the restriction code \u00c7-137.\u00a0It is possible to re-enter Turkey with an annotated visa.\u00a0In addition, it can be guaranteed that he will never leave Turkey by filing a lawsuit in the administrative court.<\/p>\n
Foreigners who are banned from entering Turkey may be banned from entering Turkey for up to 5 years by processing the restriction code \u00c7-138 if their situation is noticed when entering the country.\u00a0Depending on the situation, legal proceedings may be required.<\/p>\n
\u00a7 141, the restriction applied by the Immigration Administration to the passport data of an alien by the “MINISTRY OF INTERNAL Affairs”, in accordance with intelligence information received before or during deportation from Turkey, in connection with a violation of judicial or administrative legislation that he committed against Turkey in Turkey or abroad.\u00a0To enter, you must obtain permission from the Ministry.\u00a0If permission is not given, various remedies may be applied in accordance with the Ministry’s response.
\nHowever, as in the case of the N-82 code, in practice this permission is almost never given.\u00a0This is the application of a ban on entry into the country.\u00a0In this case, it is almost impossible for a foreigner to enter Turkey without filing a lawsuit and canceling the code.<\/p>\n
\u00c7-150 is a code that is assigned to foreigners who present false documents when entering Turkey.\u00a0It can be removed through an annotated visa or, in some cases, through a court order.<\/p>\n
\u00c7-151 is a code assigned to foreigners who commit or are suspected of committing a crime related to the smuggling of migrants.\u00a0However, it can be removed in court.<\/p>\n
\u00c7-152 is placed on foreigners who are banned from entering the country as a precautionary measure (just in case). This code can be removed by a lawsuit or a legal visa.<\/p>\n
\u00c7-166 is a code assigned to foreigners who do not justify the reason for their arrival when obtaining a visa or entering the country or do not have sufficient financial resources during their stay, even if they have them.\u00a0It can be removed from an annotated visa.<\/p>\n
The restriction code K is usually set for foreigners who commit crimes related to smuggling and for whom an arrest warrant has been issued.\u00a0This code cannot give a ban on entry.\u00a0It can even be installed in order to prevent travel abroad.<\/p>\n
In the restriction code N-82, a foreigner must obtain a preliminary permit to enter Turkey.\u00a0However, this permission is almost never allowed in practice.\u00a0This is the application of a ban on entry into the country.\u00a0In this case, the foreigner cannot enter Turkey without filing a lawsuit and canceling the code.<\/p>\n
The Interpol Restriction Code N-99 is established for persons who have an Interpol search bulletin issued in their own country or in a country that is part of the Interpol system.\u00a0This type of code can also cause a ban on entry to Turkey.\u00a0The right to impose an entry ban remains with the State.\u00a0Although this is, in fact, a serious type of code, we have removed a lot.<\/p>\n
O 100 is a restriction code for asylum seekers who are not allowed to enter an unidentified dormitory.\u00a0Upon deportation from Turkey, the O-100 restriction code applies to foreigners who are prohibited from entering the country and who are not located at the address they stated when contacting the provincial offices of the migration directorate in Turkey.<\/p>\n
Foreigners applying for international protection are assessed for compliance with this status.\u00a0If the evaluation result is not suitable, this code is set.\u00a0A lawsuit may be filed after an administrative application.<\/p>\n
Foreigners applying for international protection are assessed for compliance with this status.\u00a0If the evaluation result is not suitable, this code is set.\u00a0A lawsuit may be filed after an administrative application.<\/p>\n
We explained above that for foreigners, for various reasons, different restriction codes are set, and, accordingly, the timing of re-entry into Turkey varies.\u00a0To remove the restriction code, it can be removed by an administrative application or a legal invitation in some cases, as well as by an administrative court.\u00a0From the point of view of the roadmap, it is also very important that you work with a lawyer in this regard.\u00a0Because each code contains a different legal path.<\/p>\n
Persons against whom a decision on deportation has been made and the restriction code has been processed can achieve the cancellation of the decision of the restriction code by filing a claim with the administrative court during the period of consideration of the claim. According to each restriction code, it will be necessary to take different actions and defend the case.<\/p>\n
If there is a foreigner who is subject to a prohibitive code and a decision on deportation has been made, then it is most logical to sue this foreigner as soon as possible to overturn the decision on deportation. If an annulment action is filed against the deportation decision, the result of the annulment action is expected in order for the person to be deported. In other words, if a lawsuit is filed, the foreigner will not be deported until the end of the trial.<\/p>\n
important!<\/strong>\u00a0However, it is important to open a case at the right time and work with a competent and experienced lawyer in the field of foreign law.\u00a0Some firms try to provide legal services under the name of a foreign consulting firm.\u00a0However, representation in court is a service that only lawyers can provide.<\/p>\n In some rare cases, the restriction is sufficient to delete a foreign code only within the framework of an administrative case. The lawyer must assess in which cases an administrative application will be submitted.<\/p>\n A valid visa invitation may be required to lift the ban on foreigners entering Turkey.\u00a0Visas that include expressions such as medical treatment, family reunification, education, work, official duties, tourism in terms of the purpose of the visa are called legal visas. An annotated visa allows foreigners who are banned from entering Turkey to enter the country legally.\u00a0The process of obtaining an annotated visa is usually completed within 1 month.<\/p>\nAn annotated invitation statement and an administrative statement on the cancellation of the restriction code<\/h3>\n
