Renewing your Residence and SGK

Remember, when your Residence Permit expires and you have SGK, you will automatically be unregistered and your monthly payments will be temporarily suspended until you re-new your residence. You will still have to pay your back payments.

When you renew your Residence you will have to visit your local SGK office and obtain the Provizyon Sorgulama Cevap which confirms that you are covered by SGK and you will take this with you to your appointment.

One of our clients told us that when they applied for two years residence, they were told to go back to the SGK office after one year, and show them that their residence card was still valid. It must be noted that requirements differ from province to province, so if you are unsure, it is always better to ask when you have your appointment.
