Türkiye–Germany social security counselling days in Adana

Türkiye’s Social Security Institution is organising free counselling with German counterparts in Adana from 1 to 3 December 2026. People with work or insurance histories connected to the two countries can ask specialists about their individual records. Counselling does not itself establish entitlement or award a pension; the responsible institution must examine the case.

Venue and who can attend
Adana Provincial Social Security Directorate, Döşeme Mahallesi, Erdal Acet Caddesi No. 20, Seyhan, Adana. The invitation concerns Turkish and German nationals and family members with relevant social security questions, including residents of Adana, Mersin, Osmaniye, Niğde, Hatay and Kahramanmaraş. Confirm whether your circumstances qualify when contacting the organisers, particularly if you hold another nationality.

Preparing for a consultation
Call 0312 432 12 26 or 0312 432 12 29 to ask about booking, availability and the documents needed for your case. Do not assume walk-ins are accepted or send identity documents to an unverified recipient.

Prepare identification or a passport, your Turkish insurance and allocation number if applicable, your German insurance number, and any records of work, residence and contributions. This is a practical preparation list, not an exhaustive official document checklist; requirements depend on your case.

Questions to ask
• How can my work and contribution records in each country be checked, and what evidence is missing?
• Which institution handles my retirement, invalidity or survivor-benefit application?
• How do residence and employment in the other country affect my health coverage?
• What is the next step, and which office should I contact afterward?

Write down the responsible office and any case reference provided. Avoid calculating an entitlement or pension by simply adding periods yourself: the applicable rules and personal record must be assessed.

Common questions
Is counselling free? Yes, the announced service is free.
Does attendance approve a pension? No. It provides guidance; a formal decision remains necessary.
Can I travel from another city? The invitation lists the six provinces above. Confirm eligibility and an appointment first.
Is the bridge the venue? No. The photograph illustrates Adana; use the directorate address and confirm it when calling.
