Foreigners covered by the International Labour Force Law generally must obtain a work permit or applicable exemption before beginning work.
Generally yes. A work permit or qualifying work-permit exemption issued under Law No. 6735 generally also counts as a residence permit during its validity, subject to statutory exceptions for certain protection statuses.
Applications can generally proceed through domestic or overseas procedures using the Ministry's e-İzin system, depending on the applicant's circumstances.
Domestic applications are available in qualifying circumstances. The Ministry states that foreigners with an eligible residence permit of at least six months that remains valid at the application date can generally be filed for domestically by the employer, subject to specified exceptions.
The overseas process generally begins at a Turkish embassy or consulate in the applicant's country of citizenship or lawful residence. The applicant receives a reference number, which the Turkish employer then uses for the Ministry application.
For a standard employer-dependent work permit, an employment relationship with the relevant employer is fundamental to the application.
