Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said migrants who obtained touristic visas after February 10, 2022 will not get residency permits.
Students who ended their studies in Turkey should also go back to their countries of origin and will not get their visas renewed.
The minister said Turkey will also enforce stricter restrictions on the areas where foreign nationals can reside.
Soylu said, from July 1, foreigners cannot get resident permission in any neighborhood where the foreign population accounts for 20 percent of the total, noting that up to 1,200 neighborhoods will be affected by the new regulation.
The Turkish government first announced in February that foreigners, including Syrians, would no longer be permitted to live in areas where the foreign population exceeds 25 percent of the total.
Soylu also said the Turkish government will not allow Syrians to visit their families in Syria for the approaching Muslim festival Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice. The festival is set for mid-July this year.
