Digital Nomad Visa - How To Apply?

Digital Nomad Visa - How To Apply? - FAQ

The Digital Nomad Residence Permit is a special type of residency for foreign nationals who plan to live in Turkey while working remotely. This permit is especially for those working in digital fields such as technology, software, design, and content creation, either as freelancers or remote employees.

1. Who can apply?

Citizens of European Union countries, OECD members, Russia, Ukraine, and some other countries can apply. The applicant must be working remotely for a company or be self-employed.

2. Basic Requirements:

Be between 18 and 55 years old
Have a university degree
Have a monthly income of at least 3,000 USD (or an annual income of at least 36,000 USD)
Work in a digital nomad profession (freelancer or employed remotely)
Have a passport valid for at least 6 months

If you meet these requirements, you may be eligible to get a one-year residence permit in Turkey to work remotely. Contact us to start your application or check your eligibility.

3. Application Process:

For applications made before arriving in Turkey:

Apply for the Digital Nomad Certificate at https://digitalnomads.goturkiye.com/
Obtain the Digital Nomad Visa
Enter Turkey with the visa and apply for a one-year residence permit

Please note: The same residence permit type cannot be applied for more than once within 6 months. Therefore, if your residence permit application is rejected, you cannot reapply with the same type. Also, fees paid during the application process are rarely refunded. For this reason, it is very important that residence permit applications are handled by experts familiar with the latest regulations to avoid financial and time losses.
