English-speaking Turkish lawyer in İzmir for residence permits, citizenship and property matters of foreign nationals.
E-Law Turkey (Vural Hukuk Danışmanlık ve Mütercim Hizmetleri-Vural Legal Consultancy & Translation Services) is the law and translation office of Av. Gökhan Vural, a Turkish attorney registered with the İzmir Bar Association. The office works mainly with foreign nationals living in, moving to or investing in Turkey, and all communication can be in English.
Most of our work involves Turkish immigration and property law. This includes residence permit applications and renewals, appeals against refusals, and Turkish citizenship applications, including citizenship by investment. On the property side, we check title deeds, permits and contracts before money changes hands, and we handle title and zoning disputes.
We also handle rental disputes, work permits, tax questions, family law and criminal defence matters for foreign nationals. A lawyer registered with any Turkish bar may practise anywhere in Turkey, so we also take cases in İstanbul, Antalya and other cities. Consultations are held at our office in Konak, İzmir, or online. With a power of attorney, much of the work can be done while you are abroad.
Av. Gökhan Vural is also a notary-authorised sworn translator (English ↔ Turkish). Clients who speak Farsi are assisted with the help of a Farsi interpreter.
