How to get a residence permit for a child in Turkey when the parents are divorced and not citizens?
If a woman is divorced and wants to move abroad with her child, then Turkey can be an excellent choice. Find out how to get a residence permit for a child when both parents are not Turkish citizens and are divorced.
If custody of the child after the divorce is wholly owned by the mother, then she can obtain a residence permit for him in Turkey without giving permission from the father. The Migration Service will need to provide a court decision on divorce, which clearly spells out the custody rights. A separate court decision on guardianship is also allowed.
If custody of the child is joint or vague wording about custody rights is used in a foreign court decision, then the father's permission for the child to reside abroad is required.
The regional migration service often requires a child's birth certificate.
The court decision on guardianship, the child's birth certificate, as well as the permission from the father must be notarized and apostilled in your country. In Turkey, a notarized translation is required.
If the child's father is not alive, the mother will have to provide a notarized and apostilled certificate of his death. In Turkey, a notarized translation is required.
You can get both a short-term residence permit and a residence permit for your child on the basis of studies in Turkey (study in a kindergarten, school, college).
