Applying for a work permit from within Türkiye.
The right to apply in-country depends on the foreign national's current legal status, the duration of the residence permit and the criteria in force on the application date.
Being in Türkiye may not be enough on its own
Whether a work permit application can be made from within Türkiye is determined by assessing the foreign national's current legal status, permit history, the employer's situation and current practice on the application date together.
Share your current status; let's check your in-country application options on your file.
What do we look at in the preliminary check?
- The foreign national's current status and permit history in Türkiye
- Basic information on the employer and the job
- Current criteria and exemptions that may apply to the application type
- Whether the in-country or the from-abroad route is appropriate
Let's choose the right application route from the start
If an in-country application isn't suitable, a different process may need to be planned. Determining the right route before opening an application is sounder in terms of time and file management.
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.
