What does the term "Areas Available for Population Registration" mean?
A closed area for residents in Istanbul, also known as a restricted area for residents, is a part of the city where no Arab or foreign residents are permitted to live. The Turkish government, through the Immigration Department, has issued a list of prohibited neighborhoods, which is updated regularly.
The number of neighborhoods in Turkey that are off-limits to foreigners has risen to 1,169, with Istanbul, Gaziantep, and Adana being the most important. Foreigners with all types of residency, as well as Syrian refugees in Turkey, will no longer be able to apply for residency in these areas.
Foreigners are permitted to live in all neighborhoods of Istanbul, except a few restricted areas, according to the announced list published on the Turkish Immigration Department's official website.

- If he is a student and gets a place at a university in a restricted area.
- If the foreigner has a work permit, he can register his address in his work area if it is not in one of the restricted zones.
