Very helpful topic much thanks..
Hi, if I’m trying to verify the apartment’s unit number but the Adres Kayıt Sistemi doesn’t have it (it has most of the building’s other unit numbers but is missing a few), what does this mean? Thanks.
It seems your apartment does not have ISKAN or try to change the street number,
Hello, yes this article is genuinely good and I have learned lot of things from it on the topic of blogging.

Hello, I’m applying for short-term residency for tourism purposes and bringing my wife with me to Turkey. Would I need to fill out an Application for Short-Term Residence or the Application for Family Residence? Also, do I just need to fill out the application for myself or do a 2nd one for my wife (she does not work and I will show proof of sufficient funds for both) Thanks!
