Residence permit in Türkiye
There are many reasons why Turkey is a top choice for residency, whether short-term or permanent.
Perhaps the most important reasons are purchasing property for settlement or investment, residing for tourism, medical treatment, study, or work. Therefore, the first thing a foreigner intending to reside in Turkey thinks about is obtaining a residence permit (Oturma izni).
Simaz Real Estate has a specialized team of consultants who handle all aspects of obtaining residency permits from start to finish, including preparing the necessary documents, securing health insurance, and accompanying the client to their appointment.
Types of Residency in Turkey:
1. Real Estate Residency: After obtaining the title deed, our company obtains real estate residency permits for the owner and their family for a period of two years.
2. Tourist Residency: For tourism purposes, valid for 1-2 years.
3. Student Residency: Valid for the entire duration of university studies.
4. Family Residency: This is a residency permit granted to a foreigner married to a Turkish citizen, valid for 3 years. 5. Work Permit: This permit is issued to foreigners working for Turkish companies and grants them the right to work in Turkey.
Required Documents for Obtaining a Permit:
1. Passport with at least two months of validity remaining.
2. Valid entry visa to Turkey.
3. Title deed (Tapu) or notarized lease agreement.
4. Four passport-size (biometric) photos.
5. Health insurance covering the required period (one or two years).
Health insurance in Türkiye
There are several types of health insurance in Turkey, and what matters most to foreign clients is private health insurance. Having valid health insurance for at least one year is one of the most important requirements for obtaining residency in Turkey, and it’s included in every residency application submitted to the relevant directorate.
To ensure you obtain residency in Turkey, the first thing you need to do is get health insurance.
Therefore, Simaz has partnered with the best health insurance companies in Turkey and Antalya to secure the best prices and attractive discounts.
Key benefits include:
1. Discounts of up to 60% on hospital and treatment costs.
2. Obtaining residency in Turkey, depending on the duration of your health insurance (one or two years).
Obtaining a property title deed
Obtaining the Title Deed
Obtaining the Title Deed (Tapu)
Perhaps the most important step during the property purchase process in Turkey, and the final step following the tours, agreements, appraisals, and all pre-purchase matters, is the transfer of property ownership to the buyer's name.
Therefore, Simaz Group Real Estate offers a service for transferring ownership and obtaining the Tapu, i.e., registering the property in the buyer's name.
The process begins with the free real estate tours we offer to clients to view our available properties and projects. After agreeing on a suitable property, a preliminary purchase contract is drawn up, and a deposit is paid until the buyer prepares the full amount.
Meanwhile, the Simaz Group team verifies that the property is free of any problems or mortgages at the Tapu Directorate. They also confirm that the municipality and the Public Works Department have approved the construction in full. After that, a real estate expert's report is prepared, which will assess the true value of the property for registration on the title deed.
Then, an appointment is obtained with the Tapu office responsible for the property, and with a sworn translator present, the title deed is obtained within just one day. (The title deed) is in the buyer's name completely and completely clean.
Legal translation in Türkiye
Simaz Company pays close attention to all matters concerning its valued clients, especially those coming to Turkey from abroad, as they may not be fluent in Turkish and may lack knowledge of most laws pertaining to foreigners in Turkey. Therefore, our company has ensured the availability of a specialized team of consultants experienced in all matters related to foreigners in Turkey. Below, we present the range of legal services offered by Simaz Company: Legal Translation in Turkey 1. Translation of official documents by a certified sworn translator authorized by official departments and notarization. 2. Providing the necessary consultations for obtaining or translating all required documents from the home country, whether for consulates and embassies or for obtaining residency in Turkey. 3. Providing consultations, all necessary documents, and official translations for student registration in public and private schools.
Subscription to water, gas, and electricity
After purchasing the property, you will have your title deed (Tapu). Then, we will begin the process of obtaining electricity, water, gas, and internet subscriptions. Simaz Group can obtain all subscriptions on your behalf if you grant us power of attorney. DASK (Natural Disaster Insurance): This insurance is mandatory and provided by the state. It is valid for one year only and must be renewed annually before the end of the policy period. Therefore, we must obtain DASK insurance first to receive the subscriptions. Required documents for applying for subscriptions: 1. Mandatory DASK disaster insurance. 2. Photocopy of the title deed (Tapu). 3. Photocopy of passport or residence permit, if applicable. 4. Housing permit. 5. Personal phone number.

Real Estate Appraisal
Real Estate Appraisal is one of the services offered by Simaz Real Estate.
Real Estate Appraisal: Obtaining a property appraisal report is now mandatory for every property sale to foreigners, effective February 15, 2019.
The report is prepared by two appraisers certified by the State Property Registration Authority (SPK). Both appraisers are sworn in and accredited.
One appraiser verifies the plans and registration information at the municipality and the Land Registry Office (Tapu) to ensure the accuracy of the registered information and that the property is registered correctly. They visit the property and verify that the property’s value and price match the registered price.
The government aims to use this procedure to determine the market value of the property, rather than relying on the advertised value, thus accurately determining the tax liability. This also offers significant benefits to foreign buyers, as the report includes all relevant information about the property.
The report takes two days to prepare. When you request a real estate appraisal report, the appraiser personally inspects the property, takes photographs, verifies the registration at the Land Registry Office, and finally, checks the plans registered with the municipality. The appraiser then compiles comparative prices.
The report is 20 to 35 pages long, and the cost of the real estate appraisal is between 1,000 and 1,300 Turkish Lira.
The real estate appraisal report includes:
– Title deed information, location on the map and its details, actual photos of the property, prices of similar properties,
approximate property value, verification of debt status, and verification of technical requirements with the municipality, housing authority, land registry, and the General Directorate of Land Registration.
