SHORT ANSWER
Atasa has three offices: Istanbul Şişli (headquarters), Ashgabat, and Baku. All residence, work permit, and citizenship procedures in Turkey are handled by the Istanbul office; the Ashgabat and Baku offices serve as points of contact for processes that begin before arriving in Turkey.
Which office should you apply to?
Since the official processing of applications takes place through institutions in Turkey, case tracking is handled by the Istanbul office in all cases. The Ashgabat and Baku offices serve as points of contact for document preparation and preliminary evaluation before applicants travel to Turkey.
All three offices are open on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Scheduling an appointment before your visit ensures that your file is reviewed in advance.
