Levent Law Firm challenges Turkish entry bans and the restriction records behind them for foreign residents, families, and investors whose return to Izmir has been blocked. As your Izmir entry ban lawyer, we obtain the administrative decision, test the evidence and notification, and pursue the request or court claim that addresses the actual barrier to entry. Our work begins with the record held by the authority and ends with follow-up on the decision that changes your position.
You may have learned of the problem at a border gate, through a consulate, or while arranging a return to your home in Izmir. We establish what was decided, which authority decided it, and how that decision affects your planned return.
We file and follow your entry ban case under a power of attorney
With a power of attorney, Levent Law Firm requests the entry ban decision, the restriction record, and the file behind them from the competent migration authority. We submit the administrative application or annulment claim in your name, correspond with the authority and court, supply documents they request, and track each response and filing deadline. You give us the notice and records you hold; we take responsibility for presenting and following the legal case.
Article 10 of Law No. 6458 on Foreigners and International Protection requires notification of an entry ban with information on the right to contest it. Article 120 of the Regulation implementing that law expressly allows notices to be served on the foreigner, legal representative, or lawyer. We obtain the notice and its service record, receive the authority's decision as counsel, and calculate the next legal step from the documented notification.
We also handle the court's correspondence and receive its orders and judgment through the case. If an office asks for an earlier exit record, a passport page, or proof of your Izmir address, we identify the exact gap and file the supporting evidence. We turn a code reported at an airport into a documented legal claim and manage the exchanges between authorities.
We identify the decision behind the restriction record
A restriction code is an administrative marker in a foreigner's migration record. We identify the decision or recorded fact that gives it effect by obtaining the entry ban, any border refusal, the entry and exit history, and the notification documents. We compare them with the passport and residence records to establish whether the obstacle is a ban under Article 9, a refusal of entry under Article 7, or a separate record that calls for correction.
That distinction matters for a resident returning to an Izmir apartment or an investor traveling to manage a company. A border officer's explanation may contain a code but omit the decision date, the issuing authority, or the reason entered in the file. We request those documents and direct the challenge at the operative act, so the remedy addresses the block that the border system will actually apply.
Article 7(2) of Law No. 6458 requires a refusal of entry to be notified with information about how to challenge it; Article 10 sets a similar notification duty for an entry ban. We check the written notices against the authority's file and the travel record. When the documents identify more than one decision, we establish each one's legal effect and file the corresponding response.
We seek the route that restores access to Izmir
Article 9(6) of Law No. 6458 gives the Presidency of Migration Management two distinct powers: it may lift an entry ban, or it may allow entry for a specified period while the ban remains in force. We prepare a reasoned request for the route that fits the client's objective and support it with the decision record and evidence of the intended visit or return. This can open a practical path before the original ban period ends.
For a parent whose family lives in Izmir, we assemble civil records, the family's address history, and the reason the visit matters now. For a property owner or business principal, we examine title, company, and transaction records to show the concrete purpose of entry. We present these facts to the authority in the context of the legal decision it must make, and follow its written response.
Article 9(7) also allows admission to be made subject to prior permission: by the Presidency on public order, security or health grounds, and by a governorate for unpaid administrative fines or public receivables. We check whether such a condition appears in the actual record, identify the authority and the debt or ground behind it, and pursue the decision that clears the condition. The aim is a legally usable entry position, documented in the file before a new journey to Izmir.
KL Law Firm, our related corporate practice, also handles restriction code removal and entry ban lawsuits. Levent Law Firm handles the individual Izmir file: the decision that affects your return, the documents that answer its stated grounds, and the application or lawsuit that can change it.
We challenge a ban against the facts in the file
An entry ban must be assessed against its statutory basis, the authority that issued it, its duration, and the information used to identify the person concerned. Article 9(1) addresses public order, security, and health grounds; Article 9(2) addresses the ban imposed following deportation. We obtain the reasoned decision and examine the documents the administration relied on, then prepare the challenge around those findings.
An old passport, a changed surname, inconsistent dates, or an incomplete departure record may affect how a person's history appears to the authority. We reconcile the identity and travel documents, ask for the underlying record, and put the corrected account before the decision-maker. Where the disputed fact is an address or an earlier residence decision, we obtain that file too and explain its bearing on the entry measure.
Article 9(3) ordinarily limits an entry ban to five years; a serious public order or security threat permits an additional period of up to ten years. We examine the starting date, the period actually entered, and the reasons given for any extension. We contest a duration that the decision and its supporting record cannot justify.
When the authority maintains an unsupported or incorrectly recorded decision, we prepare the administrative challenge and the court record around the precise error. Our immigration law work in Izmir covers the separate residence position if an earlier permit decision is part of the same factual history.
We bring the entry decision before the administrative court
Law No. 2577 allows a person whose interests are affected by an unlawful administrative act to seek its annulment. We obtain the ban and service documents, identify the authority and competent court, draft the claim under Article 2, and represent the client through the administration's defense and the judgment. The petition addresses the legal ground, the evidence relied on, and the effect of the decision on the client's return to Izmir.
Article 7 of the Administrative Procedure Law No. 2577 sets a general sixty-day filing period for administrative court actions where a special law gives no different period. We calculate the applicable period from the actual written notice and preserve the service evidence. If a separate removal decision exists, we assess its own procedure and deadline separately; the entry ban claim is built around the entry decision.
Article 27 permits a request to suspend an administrative act's execution when the act is clearly unlawful and its implementation would cause harm that is difficult or impossible to repair. We make that request in the court case when the decision and evidence support both statutory grounds, presenting the immediate effect on an Izmir household or essential business matter. We then follow the interim order and the final judgment and press the authority to reflect the court's decision in the migration record.
Court review puts the authority's reasons and the client's evidence before a judge. We answer the defense with the travel chronology, service record, family documents, or business records that speak to the contested ground. The case remains focused on the ban's legality and the administrative action needed after the judgment.
We use favorable departure rules where the record supports them
The way a person left Türkiye can change the legal position recorded against them. Under Article 9(4) of Law No. 6458, an entry ban may be withheld in a defined voluntary-departure situation involving an expired visa or residence permit, payment of administrative fines, and the violation periods set by the Ministry. Article 9(5) also allows an entry ban to be withheld when a person invited to leave under Article 56 departs within the permitted period.
We examine the departure invitation, exit stamp, migration records, fine payment evidence, and the dates on which the authority acted. If those records place the client within a favorable rule, we present that legal position in a request to correct or lift the ban and, when necessary, in the court claim. A departure that was handled according to the recorded procedure deserves to be assessed on its actual documents.
The implementing Regulation also addresses how entry-ban decisions are recorded after departure and when the authority may lift a ban before its period expires. We compare the file's start date and recorded measure with the applicable statutory rule. This gives the client a concrete basis for seeking a corrected entry record or an earlier return to Izmir.
We connect the entry decision to the life waiting in Izmir
An entry ban can interrupt an existing home, family relationship, property matter, or business commitment in Izmir. We use those ties as evidence tied to the requested legal outcome: a child's school and household records for a family visit, title and transaction documents for a property matter, or corporate papers for a necessary business meeting. We identify which facts are material to the authority's decision and explain them in the application or court filing.
For someone whose earlier residence record is also disputed, we examine the written permit decision and its notification alongside the ban. We address each act through its own route and keep the facts consistent across the files. This matters when an apparent entry problem actually began with an old decision about the person's stay in Türkiye.
Our Izmir practice areas cover the property, family, and company matters that may arise once a client can return. We keep the entry case centered on restoring a workable legal position, while using those connected records to show why the decision matters now.
Put the decision blocking your return before us
Send us the border or consular notice, any restriction code you were given, your passport and travel record, and the documents showing your home, family, property, or business connection to Izmir. We will obtain the underlying decision, establish the notification and filing dates, and take the administrative or court action that fits the record. If an application has already been refused, include that written response so we can address its reasons directly.
