Visa overview
Required for foreign nationals who have received a job offer in Turkey. The visa process includes obtaining a residence permit within 30 days of arrival. Both the employer and the applicant must provide supporting documents. The visa allows long-term stay for employment purposes and must be coordinated with the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. After receiving a job offer, the applicant submits the required documents to the consulate and receives a 10-digit reference number confirming the submission of the work visa application. Following this, the employer must apply for a work permit through the Ministry of Labor’s online system within 10 working days. Once the permit is approved, the applicant can collect the visa from the consulate and enter Turkey.
