Work Permit Applications and Renewals in Turkey

Discuss a first work permit application or renewal in Turkey with our Istanbul team. We help review the applicant and employer details, organize the document checklist and clarify the application and follow-up steps for your situation.

Why do you need a Turkish work premit?

Having a work permit is crucial for individuals seeking employment in the country. It not only allows them to work legally but also protects them from potential legal consequences. A work permit also helps employers to comply with the law and avoid penalties for hiring unauthorized workers.

Our steps

Securing a work permit demonstrates your commitment to adhering to local regulations and establishing a legitimate presence in the workforce. For employers, it ensures they can employ skilled foreign workers without legal complications, fostering a compliant and efficient workplace. Our work permit services are designed to simplify this process for both employees and employers, ensuring all requirements are met with precision. We assist clients in navigating the complexities of the application, from understanding eligibility criteria to preparing a comprehensive submission. Our team stays up-to-date with the latest regulations and policies, ensuring your application is compliant and has the highest chance of approval. Whether you are applying for the first time or renewing an existing permit, we are here to provide tailored guidance and reliable support every step of the way.

  • Initial Consultation and Eligibility Assessment: We evaluate your specific situation to determine eligibility for a work permit. This includes reviewing your employment contract, qualifications, and legal residency status to ensure you meet the requirements.
  • Preparation of Required Documents: Our team assists in compiling all necessary documentation, such as an employment contract, proof of qualifications, and employer-related submissions. We provide a detailed checklist tailored to your application type.
  • Filing the Application: We submit your work permit application to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, ensuring all forms and supporting documents are accurately completed and filed within the required deadlines.
  • Follow-Up and Permit Issuance: After submission, we monitor the progress of your application, address any inquiries or additional requirements from authorities, and ensure timely issuance of your work permit. Once approved, we guide you on the next steps to start working legally.
Frequently Asked Questions

The processing time for a work permit typically takes 30 days from the date of application submission, provided all required documents are complete and accurate. However, this timeline may vary depending on the workload of the relevant authorities and the complexity of your case.

Required documents typically include a valid passport, residence permit (if applicable), employment contract, educational certificates, professional qualifications, and company documents from the employer. Our team will provide you with a comprehensive checklist based on your specific situation.

Generally, you cannot legally work while your work permit application is being processed. It's important to wait for the official approval before starting work to avoid any legal complications.

If your application is rejected, we will help you understand the reasons for rejection and guide you through the appeal process if applicable. We can also assist in preparing a new application addressing the concerns that led to the rejection.

Initial work permits are typically issued for one year. After continuous employment with the same employer, subsequent permits can be issued for two years, and then three years. After working legally for eight years, you may be eligible for an indefinite work permit.

Work permits are generally employer-specific. If you want to change employers, a new work permit application must be submitted by your new employer. We can assist with this transition process.

The costs include government application fees, which vary annually, and our service fees. We provide transparent pricing and can give you a detailed breakdown of all costs involved in your specific case.

Prepare for your consultation

A clear brief helps us identify the next step for your business in Turkey. Start with the information below; the documents, scope and timeline can then be agreed for your case.

  • Explain whether this is a first application or a renewal, and describe the job and the employer in Turkey. Tell us about any existing application or permit.
  • Have the applicant’s current location, relevant residence or permit dates and the employer’s business details ready for the consultation. These details help identify the questions that need checking.
  • Agree the document checklist, application responsibilities and follow-up process before starting. Ask which parts of the timing depend on preparation and which depend on the authority reviewing the application.
