Breaking News: Mahmutlar, Kestel, Avsallar, and Kargıcak Officially Reopened for Turkish Residency (İkamet) in 2026!

For the past few years, one of the biggest hurdles for expats, digital nomads, and seasonal "Snowbirds" looking to move to Alanya was the neighborhood restrictions. Many of the most popular coastal districts were closed to foreigners seeking new Short-Term Residence Permits (İkamet).

We have incredible news. As of June 4, 2026, the Turkish government has officially REOPENED Alanya’s most beloved coastal neighborhoods for residency applications!

If you have been putting your dreams of living by the Mediterranean on hold, the doors are officially open again.

• Mahmutlar: The vibrant heart of Alanya’s international expat community, offering an unmatched variety of markets, restaurants, and high-rise coastal living.
