Work Permit

Çalışma İzni

Turkey's standard Work Permit is issued by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security and is the primary route for foreign nationals employed by Turkish companies. It is initially granted for up to 12 months and is renewable for successive periods of up to two and three years as the employment continues. The Turkish work permit system has been modernized in recent years, with applications now handled through the e-Devlet (e-Government) online portal.

Turquoise Card

Turkuaz Kart

Puana dayalı

The Turquoise Card is Turkey's equivalent of a green card — a permanent work and residence authorization for highly qualified foreign nationals. Launched in 2017 and expanded since, it provides an indefinite right to work and reside in Turkey without being tied to any specific employer. The Turquoise Card is aimed at attracting top-tier talent in fields such as technology, science, industry, sports, and the arts, as well as strategic investors and individuals recognized for outstanding contributions to Turkey.

Independent Work Permit

Bağımsız Çalışma İzni

Kendi sponsorluğunda

Turkey's Independent Work Permit is designed for foreign nationals who wish to work on a self-employed basis rather than under the sponsorship of a Turkish employer. It is suitable for freelancers, consultants, entrepreneurs, and professionals operating their own practice. The permit is granted for up to 12 months and is renewable for successive periods.
