Current administrative practice in Turkey now allows unmarried adult children (18+) who live with and remain financially supported by their parents to renew their residence permits under the same family household—without being automatically pushed into a different status simply because of age. For a complete overview of residence permits, see our Residence Permit Guide.
Families no longer need to restructure their entire residence plan when a child turns 25. The focus is now on dependency: the child must be unmarried, living in the same household, and supported by the parents.

The single most important document in these applications is a Single Status Certificate (also known as a Certificate of Celibacy / No Marriage Record—names vary by country).
If you want to minimize renewal friction and strengthen your family’s long-term plan, the most straightforward path is often a property-based residence strategy.
If your goal is a clean, repeatable renewal process for the household, buying a residence-permit-ready home gives your family a clearer roadmap. Explore residence-oriented options in Alanya.
