Choose the appropriate permission
Entry visas, short-term residence, family residence and student residence are different procedures. Work and business-establishment permits also have separate legal bases. Consider citizenship, purpose and your granted entry period together; ownership does not automatically confer citizenship or a right to work.
Current distinction for titled owners
The 5 October 2026 consolidated regulation provides 10-year residence without an income condition where purchased properties titled in the applicant’s name have a total value of at least GBP300,000 or equivalent; below that value it provides five years without an income condition. The home must be suitable for and used as a residence.
Applications based on a purchase contract
Contract purchases separately require at least one third of the price paid and an application for property acquisition permission. A stamped, approved contract valued at least GBP300,000 or equivalent provides a five-year route without an income condition. Lower-value purchases have income-evidence conditions linked to one minimum wage.
Citizenship and family circumstances
Article 28A includes income-condition exceptions for Turkish citizens; do not apply identical thresholds to everyone. Family residence is a separate application. Multiple owners and their families face specific shared-title rules; joint ownership must not be marketed as automatic permission for all shareholders.
Documents and timing
Prepare passport, entry record, address evidence, title or purchase contract and any required income or family documents for your route. Plan the first application within your granted visa period. Confirm current channels, health procedure, document formats and fees with Immigration; an old blog is not a definitive document list.
Follow the decision
Keep application references, receipts, notifications and payment records; check the permit’s start and expiry dates. Follow current GöçSis and Ministry instructions. Plan renewal, passport changes and family changes early. This guide is not an individual eligibility decision or legal opinion.
