Eligibility Criteria and Requirements

Understanding the eligibility criteria and requirements for a work permit in Turkey is the first crucial step in ensuring a successful application. The Turkish government has outlined specific requirements that must be met by both the employer and the employee. Employers must demonstrate the necessity of hiring foreign staff by providing evidence that there are no qualified Turkish citizens available for the position. Meanwhile, prospective employees must possess qualifications and skills that align with the job description. Additionally, applicants are usually required to submit a valid employment contract, proof of education and experience, and other pertinent documentation. Navigating these stringent requirements can be complex, but our team provides expert assistance to gather and prepare all necessary documents, increasing the likelihood of a positive outcome for your application.

Our services encompass a thorough initial assessment to ensure that both employers and prospective employees meet the eligibility criteria set forth by Turkish authorities. We guide employers through the formulation of a compelling case to justify the need for a foreign hire, including assistance with labor market tests and documentation demonstrating the scarcity of qualified local candidates. For prospective employees, we meticulously review their qualifications, ensuring alignment with the job requirements and preparing all necessary evidentiary documents such as diplomas, certificates, and professional references. By facilitating seamless communication between employers and employees and maintaining rigorous attention to detail throughout the process, we significantly streamline the application procedure, mitigating risks of delays or rejections.

Beyond ensuring compliance with the eligibility criteria, we also excel in navigating the broader technicalities of the application process, making it as straightforward and stress-free as possible. We assist in the submission of required forms and applications to the Ministry of Family, Labor, and Social Services, and follow up with the relevant government bodies to monitor the status of the application. Our close working relationships with Turkish authorities enable us to provide our clients with timely updates and swift resolutions to any issues that may arise. Furthermore, we offer post-approval support, helping both employers and employees understand and fulfill ongoing compliance requirements once the work permit is issued. From the initial consultation to the final approval and beyond, our comprehensive services are designed to provide a hassle-free experience, ensuring that you can focus on what truly matters—your career and business growth in Turkey.
