3 Critical Checks Before You Apply
Instead of generic answers from the internet, let's get clarity based on your file.
The same work permit rule may not apply in the same way to every employer and every foreign national. That is why we explain the core criteria and assess the definitive answer on your file.
01 · EMPLOYMENT
Does the 5-Turkish-employee rule apply to you?
The employment criterion is assessed together with the structure of the workplace, the foreign national's situation, the sector and current exemptions. We check which rule applies to your file before you apply.
02 · SALARY
Which salary criterion applies to a foreign employee?
The position, profession and level of responsibility affect the salary criterion. The declared position, the salary and the SGK records must be consistent with each other.
03 · APPLICATION ROUTE
Can the application be made from within Türkiye?
The foreign national's current status in Türkiye, permit history and the rules in force on the application date determine whether the application is made in-country or from abroad.
Let's assess the file before applying to find out which criteria your company and your foreign employee are subject to.
