Working in Turkey

• The employer must first apply to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security for a work permit on behalf of the foreign employee.
• Once the work permit is granted, the employee can then apply for a work visa at the Turkish consulate in their home country.
• The employee must submit the required documents including the work permit, passport, and a completed visa application form.
• After the visa is issued, the employee can then enter Turkey and register with the local authorities to obtain a residence permit.
