Extending the Residence permit in Turkey (5)

Another year, and back to the Residence Permit extension, once again the process has changed. For the better!
They decentralized the offices for the Foreign papers and now you can take care of everything on the local Police Station.
The starting point for people in Istanbul is the same: https://e-randevu.iem.gov.tr/yabancilar , but now you have to chose the local police station, I guess you should chose the one for your registered address.
Then you chose the kind of work you want to get done, in my case "SPOUSES OF TURKISH CITIZENS".
I took an appointment at 9:00AM and everything was very fast and eficient! I guess that in the area where I live there not that many foreigners, so I was first in line.
Everything is done in less than 30 minutes, and after 3 or 4 days I had the new Residence Permit in my hands!
