Prepare while your card is still valid. Bank evidence, address registration, insurance, translations and notarised documents can take time, while an expired card can disrupt administrative steps.

Permit renewal FAQ
When can I submit a renewal application?
For both residence and work permits, the normal extension window opens 60 calendar days before the current permit expires. Submit before the permit expiry date.
Why should I prepare before the 60-day window opens?
Insurance, bank evidence, address records, translations, notarisation and employer documents can take time. Starting the file early leaves the full application window for corrections instead of document collection.
Can passport validity shorten the renewed permit?
Yes. The requested permit end date cannot normally extend beyond 60 days before the passport or travel document expires. Renewing a short-validity passport first may preserve the term you intend to request.
Is there a 10-day route after a residence permit expires?
In Ikamet’s case experience, PMM may accept an application made within 10 days after expiry as a first application while treating the case operationally as continuous with the previous permit. This is not a normal extension, is not published as a guaranteed PMM entitlement, and is never the recommended plan.
What extra fees can apply after residence-permit expiry?
PMM states that unlawful residence time may attract the residence fee at a one-fold increase. A 2026 single-entry visa fee of ₺9,376.40 may also apply, but nationality, reciprocity and the route used can change the charge.
What happens if my work permit has expired?
The Ministry treats an extension submitted after expiry as a first application. Only a timely same-job, same-workplace extension allows continued work during assessment, for no more than 90 days after expiry.
How long can a renewed permit be granted?
The selected 6, 12, 24 or 36 months is planning guidance, not a promise. Residence terms depend on category and evidence. For the same employer, a first work-permit extension may be granted for up to two years and later extensions for up to three years.
Who decides the final result?
PMM and the relevant provincial migration authority decide residence permits. The Ministry of Labour and Social Security decides work permits. Each authority may request category-specific evidence.
