SEMINAR ON TURKISH LAW FOR FOREIGNERS AND LEGAL DEFINITON OF EXPAT AND IMMIGRANT?
Seminar on Turkish law for foreigners and Legal definition of Expat and Immigrant?
In the last decade or so, many people, especially those of us from emerging economies have increasingly identified as not just citizens of one nation, but also as part of a global citizenry.
Are maids’ expats? Yes they are. Are construction workers in Singapore that you see on the building sites expats?
Who is a business expatriate? If those has citizenship of the country are they still called expats?
Some says “, expatriates, who re rich, educated, developed elites,” . “Others are just migrants or immigrants. But logically that’s not the correct way to look at these things.
“We’ have got migrants all wrong?
Migrants, by definition “are people who intend to go and live in a county for a long time and they’re not allowed to. They have to go home when they’ve completed their assignment,”.
Just calling everyone who lives abroad an expat won’t really change some realities
Whether someone is an expat or not doesn’t depend on origin – it’s about the motivations behind their decision to move abroad, says Malte Zeeck, founder and co-CEO of InterNations, the world’s largest expat network, with 2.5 million members in 390 cities around the world.
The Lawyers at Kaya Partner will be also speaking about the law on foreigners and international protection
Law no. 6458 on Foreigners and International Protection has been published in Government’s Newspaper on 11th of April 2013, No: 28615.
In the last session of Turkish National Assembly, on 04 April 2013, the new Law on Foreigners and International Protection has been voted. The Law on Foreigners and International Protection will make substantial changes in the Turkish asylum system, as well as it will outlaw the existing Law no: 5683 Related to Residence and Travels of Foreigners. The new law will be mainly a Turkish asylum law and it will be treated as Turkish foreigners’ code. New law specifies entry rules to Turkey, visa regulations and residence permit applications as well as it identifies the rules and principles regarding deportation and international protection. The Law on the Foreigners and International Protection also establishes the General Directorate of Migration Management under the Ministry of Interior.
The following points are the major features of the new law about the residence permits.
Exemptions from Residence Permits
Following foreigners will be exempted from residence permit requirements; (i) foreigners who own a “certificate of stateless person” (ii) officers of diplomatic and consular missions (iii) those family members of the officers of diplomatic and consular missions (approval from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is needed) (iv) officers of International Organizations, whose employment status has been determined by international agreements, (v) foreigners who are being exempted from the residence permit requirements by international agreements in which Turkey takes part (vi) foreigners within the scope of article 28 of the Law no: 5901 on Turkish Citizenship [1] (vii) foreigners who own a “Certificate of International Protection Applicant” or a “Refugee Certificate” granted in accordance with articles 69/7, 76/1 and 83/1 of the Law on Foreigners and International Protection.
