foreigners stopped from obtaining residence permits for all of Istanbul
The denial of residence permits to migrants, which is valid in 10 districts of Istanbul, will be applied to the whole city.
Everywhere, the police and gendarmerie are searching for illegal immigrants. As additional operations were completed, inspections became more stringent. On the other hand, immigration was essentially prohibited in Istanbul. All districts stopped issuing foreigners with residency permits. On the other hand, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya reported yesterday on social media that 18 organisers had been detained as part of the anti-human trafficking operation.
While the solution studies for the increasing migration wave and problems in Istanbul, which is leading with 1 million 294 thousand foreigners, are continuing, with the new decision taken, the “residence permit” of foreign nationals has been stopped except for compulsory cases.
