Immigration & Residency
Work Permit
Employer-sponsored and founder work permits, from eligibility to approval.
A Turkish work permit is applied for by the employer, not the employee, and must satisfy capital, salary and employee-ratio conditions. We assess whether the company qualifies before filing, then manage the application end to end.
Who It Is For
- Companies hiring foreign professionals
- Founders employing themselves through their own Turkish company
- Groups transferring staff to a Turkish office
- Employees whose permit needs renewing or amending
How Legit Law Helps
- Pre-assessment of company eligibility and employee ratios
- Preparation of the employer and employee application files
- Ministry of Labour submission and correspondence
- Coordination with residence status and family permits
- Renewals, changes of employer and appeals
