What the KITAP actually is
KITAP is what the annual renewals were building toward. The qualifying period depends on which KITAS you held.
The clock only runs on an unbroken chain of permits. A lapsed year is not a pause, it is a restart.

- Indefinitely, rather than a fresh filing every cycle.
- Qualifying period
- Two years as the spouse of a citizen, up to five as a worker.

Three things about the qualifying period
All three are about the chain rather than the paperwork.
Continuity is the requirement
Two to five years, unbroken. A lapsed renewal restarts the clock rather than pausing it.
