The new Law on Foreigners and International Protection established a new Migration Advisory Board with a mandate of assessing the effects of regional and international migration policy developments on Turkey. The Board will thus be regularly monitoring the development impacts of migration at the national and sectorial levels as part of its duties under the law. 

It provides for humanitarian residence permit for migrants in vulnerable situations due to extraordinary circumstances, best interests of child, inaccessibility of right to health in the country of origin while undergoing treatment for a life threatening health condition, torture rehabilitation and the risk of human rights violations (death penalty, torture, inhuman treatment or punishment) in case of return to the country of origin.
