Foreigners and Refugee Law

Due to the developing economy of Turkey and the fact that there is also a transit point for the movement of migration from the Asian continent to the European continent, our country contains a significant number of foreign populations within its borders.

Duman Law Firm is able to provide consultancy services in all kinds of legal disputes experienced/experienced by foreign natural person and legal entities. In this context, some of the services provided by our law firm include;

  • At the point of access to rights such as settling, traveling, working, receiving education and accessing health services in Turkey, the applications and follow-up of cases that foreigners will make on this issue are provided by our expert lawyers.
  • Duman law firm also provides consultancy services to establish legal entities such as companies, associations, representative offices, foundations within the country or to be part of legal entities established within the country.
  • For the realization of this purpose and work, administrative applications are carried out in national authorities, as well as claims and defense activities in local courts, and high-level Rights search activities are carried out in international authorities (European Court of Human Rights and United Nations committees).
  • Legal processes necessary for the recognition and enforcement of court decisions taken by foreigners or citizens of the Republic of Turkey living abroad in foreign countries are carried out in Turkey.
  • Due to the strategic location of the country and the fact that it is a transit point on migration routes, legal advice is also provided to persons who have defected to Turkey. In this direction, applications and objections to be made before the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the Ministry of the Interior regarding the person who has decided to be deported are ensured that the person will not be sent back to the country where their fundamental rights and freedoms will be damaged in accordance with national and supranational legislation. In this direction, if results cannot be obtained as a result of applications to administrative authorities, cases for cancellation of execution are filed in administrative courts, and applications to the European Court of Human Rights or the Constitutional Court ensure that deportation decisions are stopped.
