Work Permit · Domestic Services
Employing foreign domestic workers and caregiver permits.
Work permits in domestic services are granted only for certain care purposes and with special conditions on the employer's side.
Domestic services require a special assessment
For a work permit for a foreign caregiver or domestic worker, the care need, the employer's situation, the foreign national's role and current status are assessed together. Not every care request is treated in the same scope.
Let's check your file's eligibility before work begins.
What do we look at in the pre-assessment?
- The care need and the nature of the work
- The relationship between the employer and the care service
- The foreign national's current situation in Türkiye or abroad
- The consistency of the position and employment details used in the application
Let's decide the application route together
In domestic services, the wrong employer, the wrong job description or an unsuitable application route can hold up the file. Share the basic details; let's assess which route is suitable before applying.
Let's review your file before you apply.
Let's clarify in a consultation which criteria apply to your file and which route your application should take.
