How to Set Up Your İGDAŞ Natural Gas Subscription in Istanbul

Getting natural gas connected makes your new house in Istanbul feel like home. To finalize your service, you must sign a Natural Gas Subscription Agreement with İGDAŞ. We at Select Turkey help you navigate local procedures with ease. This guide walks you through the entire subscription process, listing all the documents you need to prepare.

Who Needs to Sign the Contract?

Before you apply, you must meet two conditions:

1. You must have a completed connection agreement.

2. An authorized plumbing company must have finished the internal installation, and İGDAŞ must have approved the project.

The person who will use and pay for the gas must sign the contract. Therefore:

• If you own the property, you, the homeowner, must sign.

• If you rent the property, you, the tenant, must sign the agreement.

What You Need to Know About the Security Deposit

Many subscribers ask about the security deposit.

What is the Security Deposit?
İGDAŞ collects this one-time fee from subscribers with traditional mechanical meters as a guarantee against unpaid bills.

Please note these key points:

• İGDAŞ does not charge a security deposit for prepaid meter users.

• The Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) sets the residential deposit amount each year.

• Your first bill will include the security deposit amount.

Checklist of Required Documents

Prepare these documents to ensure a smooth application process for your Natural Gas Subscription Agreement.

• Proof of Occupancy:

  • Property Owners: Provide your Title Deed (Tapu).

  • Tenants: Provide your rental agreement (Kira Kontratı).

For Authorized Representatives

If you appoint someone to act for you, they need a notarized power of attorney. This document must clearly authorize them to:

• Conduct “Natural Gas” transactions with İGDAŞ.

• Perform specific tasks like signing the agreement or terminating the contract.

Specific Rules for Foreign Nationals

If you are a foreign national, you will need to provide:

• A valid Residence Permit or ID from the Immigration Administration.

Important Note for Foreign Citizens: You must process your application in person at an İGDAŞ branch or via Alo 153. You cannot complete this process online.
