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.

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.

Hi,
I would like to kindly ask few questions, to make sure that I understand the applications properly.
The work permit is purely down to the employer? Correct me if I am wrong.
So first I have to conduct a Skype interview and agreement (applying to be an English Teacher)
What exactly is residence permit for? (my passport is Slovak, I heard that my application is more easy in comparison to American citizen).
Thank you,
Ema

In order to obtain work permit, first you need to find a job in Turkey and your future employer must apply for your work permit. You will only need to provide your employer with few documents and visit Turkish Consulate in your home country to confirm the application. Foreigners can not apply for work permit in their own name or without having a job in Turkey. Application for foreigner who has residence permit valid in total for at least 6 months can be done within Turkey. For foreigners who are not residence permit holders, application must be done via Turkish Consulate in their home country. Work permit application can not be submitted basing on visa. Residence permit allows you to stay in Turkey for longer period of time than visa (usually 1-2 years) but doeas not allow you to work in Turkey.
Kind Regards,
Thank you for the explanation and details.
You write that I would need to visit Turkish Consulate in my home country to confirm application?
My country, Slovakia, is very small. I do not know of such a thing.
Is there an international website where I can find this? (I also lived in the UK since 10 years old, for 13 years).
I wonder where the European citizens go to find this confirmation for application?
Kind regards,
Ema

İf your residence permit was valid in total for at least 6 months, your employer can apply for your work permit as long as your residence permit is still valid, no matter how many months or days is left until the expiration date.

Hello, is it possible to apply for the new work permit within 10 working days after the expiry of the old one? My work permit ends today, the other company I am going to work for will support a new work permit for me, but they will all be back on Monday. I am trying to avoid the hassle with obtaining the residence permit in order to get the work one. The 170 call center provides confusing info. Some say it’s possible, some say it’s not. Would highly appreciate your advice and comment. As far as I know the cancellation of the old one will go into power after 3 days after the expiry date, so it means I do have time. It’s really confusing. Many thanks in advance!
Hello,
Thank you for your comment.
İf your employer will not be able to apply for transfer/extension of your work permit before the expiration date, you will need to go to your homecountry and application will be done via embassy/consulate there.
