To renew your short-term residence permit in Turkey, you must have a registered residential address in the Nüfus system, a utility bill in your name, an official appointment, and proof of tax and insurance payments.
Recently, some nationalities are also required to provide a bank statement, and applications are being reviewed more strictly.
How long does it take to register a trademark in Turkey?
The process of registering a trademark in Turkey usually takes around 6 to 8 months from the date of application until the issuance of the registration certificate, following the legal examination and official publication.
Once registered, the trademark is legally protected for 10 years and can be renewed.
When do I need a legal or tax consultation in Turkey?
You may need a legal or tax consultation in many situations, such as when establishing a new company, signing a contract, purchasing a property, planning your taxes, or facing an issue with the tax authorities or other official institutions.
Seeking consultation early helps you make the right decisions, avoid common mistakes, and prevent fines or legal risks.
