Applications for work permit are made through e-Government portal of Turkey (https://ecalismaizni.ailevecalisma.gov.tr). The automated work permit application system enables the users to fill the online work permit application form and upload necessary documents into the system. Online application is made through the e-government portal. Duly applications are finalized by the Ministry at most thirty days and once the decision is made, the ministry informs the applicant through e-mail. Foreigners residing outside the Turkey can make their work permit applications through the Turkish representative offices in their home countries. In the existence of residence permit valid for at least 6 months, foreigners residing in Turkey can make their applications directly to Ministry of Labor and Social Security.
1.FOREIGNERS RESIDING OUTSIDE OF TURKEY
Foreigners residing outside the Turkey are subject to apply for work permit from the representative offices of Turkey in their own countries. Pursuance to work permit application of foreigner, within 10 working days the employer should process the application online to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in Turkey. Once the approval from the Ministry is granted, foreigners are required to apply for work visa to the Turkish representative office within 90 days.
As per new rules on residence permits, valid working permissions will be now used as residence permits as well. Thus work permit validity requirement of residence permit application within 30 days upon obtaining the work permit (for consulate applications 30 days was starting upon arrival of work permit holders) will be outlawed. On the other hand the same as work permits, “Work Permit Exemption Certificates” will also be used as residence permits.
2.FOREIGNERS RESIDING INSIDE TURKEY
Foreigners with residence permit valid for at least 6 months may make their applications to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security internally. Internal applications are made by the employer directly to the Ministry. Once the online application is completed and signed by electronic signature, there is no need to send any documents to the Ministry .
3.WORK PERMIT EXTENSION APPLICATIONS
Extension application of the work permit period is made to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. As Internal applications, after completing and signing with e-signature online applications, there is no need to post any documents to ministry. The application for extension could be started from 2 months before the expiry date of the work permit. After the expiry date of work permit, the applicant no longer may request for extension and the application is regarded as initial application.
Good Afternoon!
I have a valid Residence Permit until the end of May. My Working Permit has just arrived, but I want to change my job and probably my WP will be cancelled. That means that I would have to extend my original Residence Permit until May, right? Also, since the apartment was in the name of the company, I would have to change my address before asking for extension, correct? Do you guys help with the Residence Permit?
Hello,
Thank you for your comment.
When you receive work permit, your residence permit is not valid anymore, which means you can not stay in Turkey basing on it or extend it. Also, it is not possible to make transfer of work pemit to another company for first 6 months. İf your work permit gets cancelled now, you must leave Turkey within 10 days and can not re-enter the country until the period of time defined for visa (dependent on your nationality) passes.
Kind Regards
Hi,
Since the Work Permit also works as Residence Permit, If the WP gets cancelled, do I need to leave the country ?
Hello,
Thank you for your comment.
İf you had work permit for more than one year, you can apply for residence permit after cancellation. Otherwise you need to leave Turkey within 10 days after your work permit is cancelled.

İf you find job in Turkey, your employer can apply for your work permit before you arrive here. After your work permit application will be approved, you can apply for Turkish visa basing on it. As we do not have informations if it is necessary or you to go to Pakistan for it, you should ask Turkish Consulate in Saudi Arabia is it is possible to obtain required visa from there.

Thank you for your comment.
After you stay in Turkey for one year, you can apply for family residence permit as according to the regulations, your salary would be enough to submit the application as a sponsor for the other family members. For details you can read our article about family residence permit: https://www.atakurumsal.com/aile-ikamet-izni/#english

Hello,
You can apply for visa at the General Consulate in İstanbul but as a foreigner applying in Turkey procedures are more strict and you have no guarantee that your application will be approved. You can learn more about terms and application process at the website: https://idata.com.tr/ita/en/p/foreign-nationals-ita
