Türkiye uses a connected stay of more than six months in a calendar year as one residence route. Provisional absences do not necessarily interrupt that stay.

Who it applies to

People reviewing a connected Turkish stay and whether their purpose falls within an exception.

The rule

Temporary missions, study, medical treatment, recreation and involuntary stays can fall within exceptions. A sum of recorded physical days may not match a connected legal stay. Domicile is another residence route.

Counting the days

Recorded arrival and departure dates count once. Missing travel history, other eligibility conditions and treaty outcomes are not calculated.

Choose the date through which you want to count, then add your recorded visits.
Use the counting convention above. Overlapping recorded dates in the relevant region are counted only once.
Read the result alongside the conditions. Missing records and other eligibility requirements are not inferred from a total.

Common misconceptions

“A tracker target is a legal residency test.”

This page records presence as evidence. The tracker target does not create a statutory minimum or decide domicile.

“The window follows the latest twelve months.”

This counter uses the calendar year. A rolling window and a calendar year can produce different totals.
