RESIDENCY RENEWALS ONLINE PROCESS
Please remember this is only for those persons who have already used the ONLINE system to obtain their Residency – NOT for those who previously used the ‘old’ system, those persons will need to register online and complete that process.
Despite previous information, the Residency renewals process WILL include a trip to the Police Station to have the relevant documentation checked.
You will only be able to begin your renewal 21 days prior to the expiry date of your current permit.
Having logged into the system using your previous login details, you will be asked what type of permit you need and the period of the permit you require. You can now request up to two years.
When you get to the ‘DOCUMENT UPLOAD’ page you will notice that one or both of the previous documents which were uploaded will be highlighted RED. It will ask you to delete those documents. Once deleted you will be asked to upload a new Muhtar’s letter (with a 5tl stamp attached) and the photograph page of your passport.
Once these documents have been uploaded you will be given a Police Station appointment (Date and time) and provided with a list of documents that you will need to take with you, depending on the type of permit that you require.
N.B. Private Insurance policies for Residency are no longer valid. State Health Insurance is now mandatory for all.
