Hi Pinay

Getting a work permit to legally work in Turkey is not easy and you must first have a job offer before you can proceed with an application. Furthermore. the employer must prove to the Department of Labour that the foreigner they want to hire has skills that are not possessed by others in the Turkish workforce.

The process can take quite some time so it is better to have the employer apply for your paperwork before moving to Turkey.

You can read more about the requirements on the Work Permits for Turkey page.

Best of Luck
