Now the process of renewing a residence permit (RP) in Türkiye has become significantly simpler and more convenient. From June 24, the electronic system for applying for an RP — Göç Randevu Sistemi (GRS) — is operational. You can register and track your application online at goc.gov.tr/yenilenen-goc-randevu-sistemi or through e-devlet at randevu.goc.gov.tr.
Advantages of the new system:
1. Convenience and Speed
The new system allows foreigners to schedule an appointment without re-entering information and to track the status of their appointments. This significantly simplifies the document submission process and saves time.
2. Less Bureaucracy
Thanks to the new system, when re-filling an application for RP renewal, there is no need to re-enter all the data and submit certificates, which reduces the likelihood of document loss. You will be able to track the history of your requests and the stages of application processing.
Who the update is for
Göç Randevu Sistemi is designed for foreigners who have an RP, international or temporary protection, as well as a work permit. It systematizes and stores data, making the work of Göç employees easier and simplifying the RP renewal process for applicants.
