Immigration documents in Turkey
There are three most important documents related to immigration and residency in Turkey:
- visa
- residence permit
- passport
Passport
A passport is an identity document that provides information about a specific person. In the context of immigration and residency, a passport proves that a person holds the citizenship of a certain country, Turkey for example.
Turkey's passport is on the weaker side of the global index, meaning that while it provides some visa-free mobility, there is also a significant number of jurisdictions that require that its holder obtain a visa before entering the country.
