There are several cases in which you should consider obtaining a residence permit other than real estate residence in Turkey, and among these cases:

Sell the property
The inability to renew the real estate residence permit due to being outside Türkiye
Refusal of residency application or renewal application
The property must be non-residential
Inability to fulfill the conditions of real estate residency, such as the price of the property or other conditions.
In all the previous cases, it is necessary for the person who wants to stay in Turkey for a long time and settle in it to think about the best options for you in the event that he is unable to obtain a real estate residence permit.

The most important accommodations suitable for foreigners in Türkiye
The following are the most important residence permits available to foreign residents in Turkey to identify them, and they are suitable as an alternative to real estate residence for those who wish to do so, namely:

considered as
Tourist residence in Türkiye
One of the easiest options to settle in Türkiye
You can extract it for a year or two
It can also be renewed

If the period you want to stay in Turkey is short, then this type of residency is definitely suitable for you and is considered one of the real estate residency alternatives in Turkey suitable for you.
Work Permit
A work permit in Turkey, or what is known as a work residence permit, is a safer option for you to settle in Turkey. If your real estate residence permit is rejected or you do not have the minimum price of the property suitable for obtaining a real estate residence permit, it is easier for you to establish a company in Turkey and then obtain a work permit in it. .

This method is also suitable for investors who hold nationalities that are not allowed to own property in Turkey, “such as the Syrians.” For them, establishing companies is not only a goal to obtain a work permit, but they can also own real estate in the name of the company.

Student residence
This option is suitable for young people up to the age of forty. You can enroll in any "public or private" Turkish university or continue your educational attainment, after which you obtain a student document from the university, and then begin the procedures for issuing a student residence permit, in case you cannot obtain a real estate residence permit.

The advantages of student residence may not be better than real estate residence in Turkey, but it is a good solution to stay in Turkey for at least 4 years, and during this period a person can get a large amount of time to benefit from his residence in Turkey and even perhaps to buy a property in it or invest in real estate prices Without the minimum required real estate residency, by obtaining the student’s residency, he is not obliged to adhere to the price condition.

family residence
This option is available only if there is a supporter (husband, father, or mother) who holds Turkish citizenship or a work permit in Turkey, then he can obtain family residency in Turkey, but in the absence of this supporter, this alternative is considered weak and not possible.

Permanent residence
This type of residency is suitable if you have been residing in Turkey for 8 years. If you want to sell your property after a long period of time, you can move to permanent residency in Turkey, as it is a good option and its advantages are much better than the advantages of real estate residency.

However, beware that you sell the property before obtaining your permanent residence, because its approval is not 100% guaranteed, so do not give up the conditions of your real estate residence available to you before ensuring that you obtain your permanent residence.
