Decision text

This page is an English editorial summary. The official decision is published in Turkish and remains the controlling source.

Case note

The case concerned a foreign national who had studied in Türkiye and held a student residence status. Antalya authorities cancelled the residence permit and issued a deportation decision after finding that the person had worked without the required permission. The applicant challenged the administrative measures.

What changed during the proceedings

After the individual application was lodged, the residence-permit cancellation was annulled on appeal. The Migration Administration also informed the Constitutional Court that the deportation decision had been removed. The Court therefore held that the possibility of implementing the challenged deportation decision had disappeared.

What the decision actually decided

The Court dismissed the application because the alleged violation and its consequences had been remedied. It did not create a general rule that every residence-permit cancellation or deportation decision is unlawful. The case instead shows why the administrative decision, the objection or court deadlines and developments during the proceedings must be followed carefully.
