About

You need a visa/permit to live and work in Turkey. Apply for a work visa at the Turkish embassy or consulate at least 2 months prior to your departure. At the same time, your employer should send certain documents to the Turkish Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MLSS).

The submission of the required documents and forms begins the applications for your work visa and work permit simultaneously.
