A residence permit is permission to stay. It is renewable, it can be refused on renewal, and it is not a nationality — there is no passport at the end of it. It can lead to citizenship by ordinary naturalisation after five years of continuous legal residence, which requires actually living in Türkiye.

If the objective is a second passport without relocating, the residency route does not get you there. If the objective is a base in Türkiye at a lower entry price, it does.
