Can foreigners get a residence permit in Mahmutlar, Kestel, Avsallar or Kargicak in 2026?

The Presidency of Migration Management's national closure announcement no longer lists residence permits since a change made between April and September 2026, although the four neighborhoods are still named on its 2022 closures list. The Antalya provincial page still carried the older wording on 20 October 2026, so ask the provincial migration office in writing about the exact address before buying. A property-based permit also needs a home worth at least USD 200,000 that the owner does not let.

Which Alanya neighborhoods are on the closures list?

Kargicak, Mahmutlar, Kestel and Avsallar, numbered 145 to 148 on the list dated 31 August 2022 that the Presidency still attaches to its announcement, checked on 20 October 2026. Oba, Tosmur and Cikcilli are not on it.

Alanya Residence Permit Update 2026

Four Alanya neighborhoods are named on the Presidency of Migration Management's 2022 closures list: Kargicak, Mahmutlar, Kestel and Avsallar. Since a change made between April and September 2026, however, the Presidency's national announcement no longer lists residence permits among the procedures the closure covers. A residence permit based on owning property still needs a home worth at least USD 200,000 that the owner lives in and does not let. The announcement now names temporary and international protection registrations and changes of province for people under protection. The Antalya Provincial Directorate of Migration Management's own page still carried the older wording, residence permits included, when it was checked on 20 October 2026, and no separate notice of the change has been published, so the safe sequence is still to ask the provincial migration office, in writing, whether a first residence permit application at the exact address would be accepted, and to make that answer a condition of the purchase.
