The government of Turkey introduced a new online system for certain immigration actions.

Key Points:

  • Foreign nationals may register their address and update personal information in the new system as well as complete fingerprint checks through the service using their e-Government account.
  • The system does not allow for cancellation or rescheduling of an appointment after it has been confirmed.
  • Foreign nationals can access the new system by using their e-Government account or by creating a new account. After initial registration, applicants will only be able to amend their information by visiting the relevant Migration Directorate. Applicants could previously visit Turkish authorities without an appointment; however, the new system is designed is to simplify processes and provide a secure way to send personal information when scheduling appointments.
