Frequently asked questions
Who applies?
The employer applies for the work permit. If the employee is abroad, the process can also start through the Turkish mission in their country.
When can the employee start?
A foreigner cannot work before the work permit is approved. Employing someone without a permit leads to administrative fines for both the employer and the employee.
How long is the permit valid?
A first permit is granted for up to 1 year; later renewals can be longer. We track the dates for you.
