Immigration Law

Immigration law governs all legal regulations concerning the entry, residence, work rights, acquisition of citizenship, and departure of foreign nationals from a country. In Turkey, this field is regulated primarily by the Law on Foreigners and International Protection (Law No. 6458), the Turkish Citizenship Law, and relevant secondary legislation.

Immigration law is not limited to the application of legal provisions; it also involves safeguarding individuals’ rights, ensuring their living standards, and adhering to international human rights norms.
