There are useful documents you can get

Having arrived in Turkey, and after completing your university registration, the most important thing you need to do is to apply for a residence permit.

After you fill out the application form at https://e-ikamet.goc.gov.tr/ deliver paperwork from your international student affairs office.

You will be able to carry out all formal transactions as long as you stay in Turkey with your residence card and foreign identification (YU) number you receive after your application.

If your residence card does not expire, it can be used while entering or leaving Turkey, and thus you do not need to get a new visa. It is important that you renew your residence permit before the validity period expires.

You are exempt from the residence application fee as a student, you are only required to pay the card fee.

First, you should apply from the Immigration Office website:  Click Here

It has become obligatory to take fingerprints from foreigners who lives in Istanbul. For this reason, in order to obtain fingerprint permission from students who apply for residence after 28.03.2022, students must personally submit their files to the Provincial Directorate of Migration Management on the appointment day. The documents of the students who apply for residence after this date (28.03.2022) will not be taken by the University, and the students will submit any extension/first application files on their own appointment day.
