  4. Universities Know the campus before you arrive.

Features

Built around the parts that are actually hard

Paperwork deadlines, finding a hospital, knowing who to call, working out what a price should be.

01

Ikamet tracker

See exactly how many days are left on your residence permit, with a clear status and reminders before it expires.

02

Emergency (SOS)

Emergency numbers, ready Turkish phrases, embassy contacts, and what to do in common emergencies.

The app is not an emergency service.

03

City directory

Hospitals, libraries, parks, museums, malls, and government offices — with locations and ratings from the community.

04

Events

Gatherings, events and notices in your city — what is happening around you, as it happens.

05

Universities

University profiles and campus details, so you know a place before you get there.

06

Currency converter

Convert between currencies quickly, without leaving the app to check a rate.

07

Discussions

Ask the people who arrived before you, and answer for the ones arriving after.

08

Ask your buddy

An in-app assistant for the everyday questions that are too small to ask anyone.

In your language

Three languages, none of them an afterthought

Arabic runs right-to-left natively rather than bolted on, and Turkish and English are complete — while the terms on your residence documents stay in the language you will see at the office.


About

For everyone living in Türkiye, and a home inside it for Yemenis

Diwan Türkiye puts what you need in one place: a permit tracker that tells you how many days are left and what to prepare, a city directory of hospitals, government offices and libraries, emergency numbers and ready Turkish phrases for the moment you need them, university profiles, prices and currency conversion, and place-based discussions where whoever just arrived can ask, and whoever came a year earlier can answer. All of it is free and open to anyone living in Türkiye, whatever their nationality or language.

Inside the app there is a space for Yemenis in Türkiye: their notices, their gatherings, and a circle where they ask and help each other. We started here because they are the closest people to us and the first to open their door. Anyone who is not part of it loses nothing — the permit tracker, the directory, emergencies, prices and discussions are all theirs just the same.

Our message

We believe that a stranger in a country not their own has no closer support than another stranger. A road someone walked a month before you should not be walked from scratch, and a door already knocked on a hundred times should not be knocked on alone. We Arabs have the most claim to this: one language, one worry, one road — if we are not one hand far from home, then when? This app rests on the idea that what each of us learned the hard way belongs to the rest of us — a shared memory that shortens the road and keeps people from being taken advantage of, whatever passport they carry.

Our goal

To make life easier for people living outside their own country. That someone knows when their permit expires before an officer tells them; that they find the hospital, the office and the fair price, and know when they can do it themselves; that someone answers when there is no one left to ask. Every feature here is measured by one question: did it save someone a wasted day, money they should not have paid, or a humiliating wait in a queue?
