Antalya neighbourhoods closed to registration

Segments
Housing that qualifies for a residence permit
A category no portal offers, because it takes knowledge of the law rather than of inventory. The address must sit in an open mahalle, the contract must be notarised, the registration must be real. Any one of the three failing brings down the other two.

Law that applies to this segment
| Göç İdaresi: Mahalle Kapatma Duyurusu 30.06.2022 (dosya 31.08.2022), basın açıklaması 16.07.2023 (%20 eşiği) | Neighbourhood status In neighbourhoods closed to registration no residence permit is issued at that address — whether the housing is rented or bought, and at any price; the exceptions are newborns and reunification of the nuclear family. The status is checked against the ministry file and changes without notice, so it always carries a verification date. Checked 2026-09-28 |
|---|---|
| 5490 sayılı Kanun md. 49–50; YUKK Uyg. Yön. md. 22 | Address registration If the residence permit is issued in Türkiye, the address must be registered within 20 working days of receiving the permit document. Without registration the permit cannot be renewed, and children are enrolled in kindergarten and school according to the address in the NVİ database. The address is confirmed with a supplier contract or a bill for electricity, water, gas, a landline or home internet. A notarised lease is required not by NVİ but by the migration authority (Göç İdaresi), for the residence permit application. Checked 2026-09-28 |
| 6458 sayılı Kanun md. 31/1-b, 31/6; Yönetmelik (RG 29656) md. 28/3; Göç İdaresi, kısa dönem ikamet izni istenen belgeler, ek belge b | Residence permit on a $200,000 purchase The value is taken at the date of purchase; the property must be residential (konut), the applicant must live in it and may not let it. The price threshold alone is not enough: the address must sit in a mahalle open for registration. Both conditions are checked independently and either one failing ends the matter.

Neighbourhood status for residence permitsChecked 2026-10-19
10 — Antalya neighbourhoods closed to registration
Alanya 4 (Kargıcak, Mahmutlar, Kestel, Avsallar), Konyaaltı 3, Döşemealtı 2, Muratpaşa 1. No residence permit is issued at these addresses regardless of the transaction amount.
Contradicted by publications. Agency publications claim Alanya reopened on 4 June 2026. Checks against the Official Gazette and the ministry file do not confirm this: no act exists and the file is dated 31 August 2022.

What to check here specifically
- The mahalle status of the address — before the viewing, not after the deposit
- Notarisation of the lease: a residence permit application needs a notarised copy that includes the landlord’s details
- Whether the building holds an iskan
- Whether the electricity, water and gas accounts can be put in your name: they serve as proof of address at registration
- The address in the contract matching the tapu down to the flat number
Common mistakes and schemes
- Taking the agent’s word on the mahalle. The status changes without notice and is confirmed only by the dated ministry file
- Assuming the purchase price is enough. A closed mahalle ends the matter at any price
- Relying on the “rental” ikamet — a lease plus a bank balance no longer qualifies as grounds
Who this suits and who it does not
+
- those for whom the permit is the goal and the housing is the means
−
- citizens of countries barred from buying property in Türkiye: this route is closed to them too

Questions
Is Alanya open or closed?
Per the official ministry file, four Alanya neighbourhoods are closed. Agency publications claim they reopened on 4 June 2026; a check of the Official Gazette does not confirm it — no act exists and the file is dated 31 August 2022. Until confirmed, we treat them as closed.
What changed
| 2026-08-17 | Alanya: reports of reopening not confirmed Agency publications claim Alanya’s neighbourhoods reopened on 4 June 2026. No act appears in the Official Gazette and the Göç İdaresi file is dated 31 August 2022. Until confirmed, we treat them as closed. |

| 2026-06-04 | Law no. 7582: twenty years free of tax on foreign income For people who became Turkish tax residents from 1 January 2026 after three years without residence. Published in the Official Gazette on 4 June 2026; procedure set by General Communiqué No. 333 of 4 July 2026. |
| 2025-10-10 | Permit number replaces the copy in listings An amendment to the regulation under Law 7464 (Official Gazette of 10 October 2025, No. 33043, in force on publication): every listing and advertisement for a home with a tourist-letting permit must now show the izin belgesi number legibly, instead of a copy of the permit. The duty lies with the permit holder; this rule does not address platforms. |
