Since the early 2010s, the world has been experiencing significant immigration movements with serious consequences. As the countries most affected by these movements, Colombia and Turkey faced the urgency of designing and implementing new immigration policies to minimize the effects of immigration. This study aims to compare immigration policies in Turkey and Colombia, especially in terms of temporary protection status granted to Syrians and Venezuelans, respectively. With the crises in Syria and Venezuela, the fact that the risks of mass immigration movements in the world may increase has started to be discussed more. As a result, different countries such as Turkey and Colombia have created similar policies within the framework of existing immigration management principles. This is because, as a result, Turkey and Colombia as different countries implement similar policies within the framework of their existing concepts of immigration management principles. The reason for this is that current immigration principles do not respond to these crises within the scope of the policies that countries want to implement. Countries approach mass immigration movements more softly and temporarily and build their policies on this ground. Country policies develop temporary protection policies in order to control the effects of the crises in a soft and ad-hoc manner, which will minimize the negative effects of the current situation, instead of solving the crises. In this context, it continued by focusing on how they responded to the massive immigration flow from Syria and Venezuela over the examples of Turkey and Colombia, and the similarities and differences in immigration policies regarding Venezuelans under temporary protection status and Syrians. Although Turkey and Colombia have very different characteristics in different continents, with different languages, religions, cultures and social structures, both countries have responded to the mass immigration flows they host within the framework of the principle of applying temporary protection status.
