Dear Arshad,

There is no limitation for buying a flat, however, there is no connection between buying flat and getting residence permit in our law..

You can get a residence permit without buying a flat if you rent a house, or because of being student and etc. All of them are enought to get it.. However, what you need to keep in your mind is that your permit residance will NOT be indefinite.

Regards,

The recent change of the strangers deserve residence permitfor one year in the Turkey Legal System. According to TurkeyLaw no 6458 article 31; admit short term residence permit. But this articleenters into force for 11.04.2013
Finally you apply Turkey Consulate about information

Nationals of Russia, China, and India were all banned from buying property in Turkey because of reciprocity issues but now are allowed to buy under the new law.

Although you will need the approval of the Turkish Domestic Affairs Ministry and you need to go through couple of bureaucratic steps like every other foreigners do.

Buying a property in Turkey automatically entitles you to have a 1 year residence permit regardless of the price of the property acquired.
