Summary/Abstract: International migration is a dynamic process that has continued throughout history. Immigrants are classified as regular and irregular migrants according to the way they enter and leave the countries while the migration process is taking place. In Turkey, which has become a frequent destination for irregular migrants, the increase in the number of Afghan irregular migrants is noteworthy. Afghanistan does not have a stable economic, social, demographic and political structure. Therefore, there has been a long-term and continuous migration phenomenon in the country. Afghanistan; It has been a country of emigration in every period of history due to conflicts and confusions caused by reasons such as wars arising from internal struggles, destruction of terrorist organizations and occupation of great powers. Affected by the migration movements created by Afghans, Turkey had to take various measures. In this study, which was created by reviewing the literature, Turkey's immigration policies towards increasing Afghan irregular immigrants, the problems experienced by Afghan immigrants and their future effects are emphasized. As a result of the study, it is revealed that the regulations for Afghan immigrants should be reviewed and it would be appropriate to sign a readmission agreement between Turkey and Afghanistan in the fight against irregular migration.
