Work in Turkey | Job in Turkey
 |
To work in Turkey is a dream that unfortunately does not come true for many people. Working in Turkey is not going to make you rich, but it's enough to live on reasonably well. The cost of living is a lot less than Britain or America, especially if you smoke and drink. |
Jobs in Turkey
Turkish authorities take a very dim view of any foreigner taking a job that can be done by a Turkish citizen. Bar and restaurant work is definitely out as is working in the local supermarket. Jobs that are normally filled with foreigners are teaching or repping. Alternatively there are some large international companies or press agencies that need a foreigner in one of their branches located throughout Turkey. Even if you have a registered trade and skill such as dentist or electrician, you will be hard pressed to find someone that will employ you over a native Turk.
Working permits for Jobs in Turkey
These are normally only issued to the trades mentioned above. It has to be the employer that applies for the working permits and it is a mountain of red tape and high cash pay outs that might not even see a result. One person I know applied for a working permit four years ago and is still on the waiting list.
Do you want a Turkish work visa to work or study in Turkey?
You must apply, at least a month before you plan to arrive in Turkey, to the nearest Turkish diplomatic mission to obtain a work permit and visa.
You'll need your passport, a visa application form, and a letter from your employer in Turkey. (You can get a U.S. Passport Fast. More...)
Your employer should submit other documents to Turkey's Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MLSS) within three working days after you apply for your work permit and visa. Applications are finalised by the MLSS within ninety days at the latest.
Before starting to work, and within one month after your arrival in Turkey, you must register with the police near where you plan to live in Turkey to obtain the necessary residence permit.
