Professional guidance on the Turkey (Türkiye) work visa and work permit process for applicants from Pakistan, the UAE and worldwide: eligibility, documents and consulate file preparation.
Türkiye (Turkey) connects Europe and Asia and is a growing destination for international professionals and workers. Foreign nationals who want to work in Türkiye need a work permit from the Turkish Ministry of Labour and Social Security, and most applicants from abroad also need a work visa issued by a Turkish embassy or consulate.
The process involves both the worker and the employer in Türkiye, with applications made in a set order and within set time limits. ZANS Consultants explains each step clearly, reviews your eligibility and helps you prepare a complete file for the Turkish consulate.
Work visa application: the worker applies for a work visa at the Turkish embassy or consulate in their country of citizenship or legal residence.
Employer's online application: the employer in Türkiye submits the work permit application to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security online within the required time.
Decision and visa: once the work permit is approved, the work visa can be issued and the worker can travel.
After arrival: the work permit also serves as a residence permit; address registration and other formalities follow.
