Mehmet Ali Bal has extensive experience dealing with Göç İdaresi (the Immigration Authority) and the citizenship office, and works mainly on Turkish residence permits and citizenship. He is particularly familiar with the citizenship-by-investment process, including the thresholds set by the Turkish government.
He helps foreign clients with short-term residence permit applications and renewing existing permits. For foreigners who wish to stay in Turkey for reasons other than tourism, the process can be difficult to manage, and Mehmet Ali guides them through each stage.
He also helps clients buy property in Turkey and apply for citizenship through the USD 400,000 real estate route.
Mehmet Ali is known for his hands-on, driven approach. He works promptly and stays closely involved in every application.
