Work Permits

A work permit is one of the essential official documents that foreign nationals must obtain to legally work in Turkey. The process for working in Turkey is not limited to finding a job; there are numerous legal requirements that both the employer and employee must meet. Work permits are divided into categories such as company employee permits, domestic worker permits, independent work permits, and Turquoise Card applications for highly skilled foreigners. For company employee applications, the employer must employ a certain number of Turkish citizens; domestic worker permits are more tailored to individual needs. Applicants for independent work permits must engage in activities contributing to the Turkish economy. The Turquoise Card is a permanent permit for internationally successful academics, scientists, artists, or experts in high-tech fields. Correct document preparation, proper online application submission, and careful monitoring of approval by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security are essential. Work permits require professional support not only during application but also for renewals, extensions, and reassessment of rejected applications. Mistakes at any stage may result in the foreign employee losing legal status, deportation, or the employer facing penalties. We manage work permit applications comprehensively to prevent risks and offer the best solutions for both employers and employees.
