Fast Danışmanlık (Fast Consultancy) has been advising on every area of Turkish immigration law (the legislation on foreigners) since 2010, above all on work permits for foreign nationals, residence permits and Turkish citizenship. We focus on the Marmara Region and, through processes we run remotely, support employers, families and foreign nationals from every province of Turkey (officially Türkiye).
Who are we?
Employing foreign staff in Turkey, organizing your household around a foreign caregiver, or building a legal and secure life in Turkey as a foreign national all require accurate information, a complete file and careful tracking of deadlines. Fast Danışmanlık was born out of this need. With 16 years of experience, we closely follow changes in the legislation and prepare every file with this up-to-date knowledge.
Since our founding, we have experienced first-hand major changes such as the entry into force of the Law on Foreigners and International Protection (No. 6458), the overhaul of the work permit system under the International Labour Force Law (No. 6735), and many updates to the assessment criteria. This experience lets us see in advance which detail in each file might affect the outcome.
We are not a law firm; we are a consultancy specializing in Turkish immigration law. We manage administrative application processes from start to finish, and where a lawsuit or court proceedings are required, we provide support through our partner attorneys.
What do we do?
- Work permit applications for foreign nationals, extensions and indefinite work permits
- Company work permit: quota planning, criteria analysis and e-İzin processes for employers
- Caregiver work permit: childcare, elderly care, disability care and patient companionship
- Residence permit applications, extensions and changes of permit type
- Turkish citizenship applications: by the general route, by marriage and by investment
- Deportation and entry ban removal processes
- Marriage procedures with a foreign national and the family residence permit
- Citizenship through real estate and investment consultancy
- Immigration legal support: objections to refusal decisions and attorney coordination
We also offer free calculators so you can work out fees, caregiver costs, overstay fines and citizenship eligibility on your own.
Who do we serve?
Employers and companies
Whatever the sector, we take on work permit applications, quota and criteria planning and extension tracking for employers who hire foreign staff. Our goal is for the employer to get the right person started on time, without running the risk of employing someone without a permit.
Working mothers and stay-at-home mothers
Mothers who need a reliable, legally employed caregiver for their child are one of the groups we work with most often. We explain clearly from the outset that a caregiver permit is granted only for care work, who can apply, and how the total cost is made up.
Working couples
For dual-career families, childcare or the care of elderly parents is one of the biggest responsibilities of daily life. We accompany families looking for a caregiver for an elderly, disabled or sick relative at every step of the application.
Foreign nationals
We stand by foreign nationals who live, work, marry or invest in Turkey through their residence permit, citizenship and entry ban processes.
Focused on Marmara, serving all of Turkey
Our priority is the Marmara Region: we handle our clients' processes in Istanbul, Kocaeli, Bursa, Tekirdağ, Sakarya, Balıkesir, Çanakkale, Edirne, Kırklareli, Yalova and Bilecik while closely following local practice in the region. We respond to a wide range of needs, from employers with foreign staff in the industrial zones of Kocaeli and Bursa to families in Istanbul looking for a caregiver for their child, and from businesses in Tekirdağ and Çorlu to foreign nationals who choose to live in Yalova and Balıkesir. Since document preparation, electronic applications and follow-up can be done remotely, we accept applications from every province in Turkey. You can see the provinces we serve on our service regions page.
Our values
- Transparency: We share the process, the required documents, the official fees and our consultancy fee clearly from the start. We do not make unrealistic promises such as guaranteed approval; we focus on maximizing your chance of approval with a complete file.
- Speed: By preparing files completely the first time, we minimize the time lost to requests for additional documents and unnecessary waiting.
- Follow-up: We keep monitoring your processes after the application and track extension dates and legal deadlines together with you.
- Confidentiality and KVKK: We process and protect sensitive personal data such as your passport, income and health information in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, No. 6698).
