What Happens to the Card If the Passport Ends Before Residence?

Author · Av. Ayşenur Konar, Avukat

In short

Even if the passport ends before the residence card, this date does not erase the end day printed on the card. The two dates are separate lines. The fate of the card is read from the card's own date and, if there is one, from a writing that was served separately. This text does not say that the person stays in the country, or that the card is cancelled. A false extension is not recounted.

The two end dates are separate lines

There is an end date on the identity page of the passport. There is also an end date on the residence card. The two dates do not have to fall on the same day. The reading is to leave the two dates side by side. One is not copied on top of the other. Whichever day appears earlier on the calendar is not written as the ruling of the other document.

Even if the passport date is earlier, this date does not stand in for the end date of the card. The day printed on the card is the date of the card. The day on the passport page is not written on top of this printed day. If the date of the card is earlier, the passport date does not extend the card. Each document carries its own line. A day added by hand does not stand in for the printed day.

A visa sticker may be standing inside the passport. The end of the sticker is a third day. The sticker is not a residence card. Even if the term of the sticker has run out, this fact does not erase the printed date of the card. An entry stamp is not an end date either. The stamp may be a trace where the crossing appears. The day on the stamp is not added to the term of the card.

The day of issue and the end day may be separate lines on the card. The issue is not read in the place of the end. If the end is empty, the gap is not filled by adding a term to the day of issue. This page does not write how many days will be added to the card. If there is more than one entry stamp in the passport, each stamp carries its own day. The stamps do not extend the end of the card by themselves. The day of issue on the identity page is not the end day either.

The fate of the card does not come out of the passport day

This article does not say that the card stayed valid when the passport ended. It does not say that the card was cancelled by itself either. If the administration served a writing separately, the result about the card is in that writing. If the writing does not openly write that the card was cancelled or that it continues, the result is not completed from a sentence the writing does not have. If there is no writing, the result is not produced from the passport date.

If the writing of cancellation and the card are in hand on the same day, the two are read separately. The date of the writing does not by itself change the printed end of the card. The record of service shows whom the writing reached. If there is no record, the reaching is not built from the end day on the passport page. This text does not invent a period of cancellation.

The card being lost is not the result of the passport ending either. A loss is the document not being in hand. If the passport is standing with the person and the card is not, what is read is the separate fate of the two documents. The heading of an application for loss is not built on this page.

A new passport does not rewrite the card

Renewal of a passport is a step of the person's own country or of its representation. The new passport may carry a new number and a new end. This step does not by itself print the new date onto the residence card. The card may continue to show the old passport number. The new page having a longer term is not treated as having extended the card.

The old number and the new number are read side by side. If the number on the card does not match the new passport, the mismatch is noted. The mismatch does not change the end date of the card. In which application the new passport page was asked for is read from the paper note of that application. The note is not turned into a list in this text. If there is no paper note, the new page is not announced as a document that was asked for.

A child's passport and an adult's card are not mixed. The same surname does not reduce the dates to a single day. Each identity page carries its own end. The day in the family booklet is not the date of the card either. If the old passport and the new passport stand in the same envelope, the end of each identity page is read separately. Whichever passport number the card shows, that number is noted. The other passport ending later does not pull the date of the card to that day. A cancelled passport page does not end the ruling of the card in this text. The annotation of cancellation is read from the page the annotation is on. If the annotation is not on the card, it is not carried onto the card.

An apostille is an annotation on a foreign official document. The annotation does not extend the end day of the passport or the end of the card. The apostille page is not put in the place of the identity page of the passport. The date of the annotation is not read as a new passport end.

A false day is not an extension

A false day added to a passport page does not make either the date of the card or the date of the passport a valid extension. A false end written onto the card does not give rise to a separate document either. This article does not recount how the date would be changed, which stamp would be pressed, or which page would be added. Correcting the date on a photocopy is not recounted either.

An extension is a separate step the administration gives to a request for residence. A residence permit not being extended reads that notice. The passport date ending before the card is not the text of the petition for extension. This article does not copy the extension form or the ground of refusal. If there is a writing of acceptance of the extension, the new end of the card is read from that writing's own line. When there is no writing of acceptance, the new day of the passport is not put in the place of acceptance.

An appointment paper taken from the representation is not treated as the passport having been renewed. The appointment day is neither the passport end nor the card end. If the new passport has not yet been printed, the end of the old page stands. The date of a page that has not been printed is not written from this text. A receipt the representation gave does not say that the new passport was printed. The day on the receipt is neither the new end of the passport nor the end of the card. If the receipt was lost, the absence does not change the end of the old passport page. If the old page is standing, the end is read from that page's own line.

The date of a third document gets mixed

Refusal of a work permit reads the notice of the work application. The date in that writing does not stand in for the date of the passport end or of the residence card. If a work-permit document is in hand, its end is a separate line too. If there are three or four documents, there are that many dates. One may have ended and the other may be standing. A mixed folder does not reduce the dates to a single day.

The day in the writing of refusal is not read as the day the person will leave the country. This page does not build that result. If there is no writing of refusal, the outcome of the work application is not produced from the passport end.

Acquisition of immovable property by foreigners looks at the land-registry record. The end day of the passport does not say, in this article, whether the parcel can be acquired. A land-registry step does not change the date line of the card either. The day on the title deed is not the end of residence. This text does not write the conditions of the land register.

A result of staying is not built from these two days

Whether the person can stay in the country is not built from the passport day and the card day. Staying or leaving is discussed when the card, the passport and, if there is one, the step that was served are read side by side. A single date does not close the ruling of the other document. This heading does not produce a decision of a prohibition of exit, of removal, or of a prohibition of entry. If such a writing is in hand, it is read from its own result line. If it is not in hand, the passport end does not stand in for that decision.

An oral warning at the border is not the text of a decision either. The warning is not treated as having changed the end of the card or the end of the passport. If there is a minute of the warning, the minute is read from its own sentence. If there is no minute, the word is not written as a result on this page. A short mark a border officer put on the passport page does not change the end of the residence card. The meaning of the mark is not solved on this page. If the mark is not the result line of a separate writing, it is not read as a decision. The flight day on the person's ticket is neither the passport end nor the card end either. The ticket does not build a result of staying or of leaving.

Conclusion

The passport end does not stand in for the end date of the residence card. The two dates are read separately. A new passport does not rewrite the card by itself. A visa sticker and a work-permit document may also be a third date. A false extension is not in this text. The frame of the residence card stands on the international law page and in the text of Law No. 6458 on Foreigners and International Protection. The two pages may be read side by side through contact.

Frequently asked questions

When the passport ends, does the date on the card end too?

The passport end does not stand in for the end date of the card. The day printed on the card is the date of the card. This article does not say that the card stayed valid, or that it was cancelled. If the administration served a writing separately, the result is in that writing.

Which date is read?

Both are read, and they are left separate. The end on the identity page of the passport is not copied on top of the end on the card. The end on the card is not written onto the passport page either. If there is a visa sticker or a work-permit document, their date is a third line too.

Does a new passport change the end of the card by itself?

No. Renewal of a passport is a step of the person's own country or of its representation. The new page does not print a new end onto the card. The card may continue to show the old passport number. The mismatch is noted. It does not change the date of the card.

Is a false extension written into the passport?

No. This article does not recount that. A false day added to the page, or onto the card, is not a valid extension. Which stamp would be pressed, and which page would be added, is not described. An extension is a separate step of the administration.

Is the passport end a result of staying in the country?

No. This text does not say that the person stays or leaves. A single date does not close the ruling of the other document. Staying or leaving is discussed when the card, the passport and, if there is one, the writing that was served are read side by side.
