What is the UETS system in Turkey?
The Universal Electronic Notification System (UETS) is a digital notification system in Turkey.
From the 15th of April 2024, it will be a new requirement for foreigners wishing to extend their residency status in Turkey.
From then, it will be necessary to provide an address in the Universal Electronic Notification System (UETS), established in accordance with Notification Law No. 7201 and Electronic Notification Regulation No. 30617.
For foreigners under 18 years old, applications for residency will be processed based on the UETS addresses of their parents or guardians. It is not mandatory for children to declare a UETS address.
Why is a UETS address needed?
Foreigners who have already obtained a foreign identification certificate (ikamet) in Turkey, when applying for its renewal, must additionally provide an UETS address (Ulusal Elektronik Tebligat Sistemi). Essentially, this is a mailbox stored on a state postal service website (PTT — Posta ve Telgraf Teşkilatı). Notifications and requirements, including refusals and cancellations, will arrive at this address.
