Foreigners need to provide notarized rent contract (noter onaylı kira kontratı) or sponsorship document (taahhütname) to get the Turkish Residence Permit. Alternatively, they can also provide address document from an authorized student dorm and this document is also accepted by the immigration office.
In all Turkish residence permit types, you need to provide the document that shows where you are going to live during your stay in Turkey. Notarized rent contract is the safest option and it is widely accepted. You need to make a rent contract with your landlord at the Notary Public and you can get the notarized rent contract from the notary. Usually, notary fee is approximately $200-$400 depending on the monthly rent of the property.
Second option as an address document is getting a sponsorship document from notary public. It is called Taahhütname. This paper shows that you are living with a Turkish citizen. The notary fee is cheaper for this option around $50-$60. You also need to submit the family record of the sponspor. If the sponsor is married, his/her spouse also needs to submit the notarized sponsorship paper stating that you are living there.
Finally, students can also provide official documents from their dormitory stating that student stays at the dorm during his education. You can get more information from your dorm manager about required address documents for Turkish residence permit.
