How is a work permit obtained? First of all, the staff you will find or have found must have a valid passport. Your monthly income must be 3,000 USD. You must have a residential address in Turkey. You must have an official valid residence permit ID. The staff you will hire for a work permit can be employed as a domestic worker. That means there must be a child or an elderly person at home. If you meet these conditions, you can apply for a work permit for your employee.
Work permit documents for the employer include a residence permit ID, passport, official monthly income document, bank account statements for the last six months, and an electronic signature which is purchased from private companies. If you are married, your spouse’s income can also be included.

For the staff, if the person is abroad, a notarized work permit invitation and contract are prepared and sent to the staff. The staff goes to the Turkish consulate and receives a reference number. With this number, an online application is made from Turkey. If the staff is in Turkey and has a residence permit, the application can be made immediately. If the staff does not have a residence permit, a residence permit application must be made first. While obtaining a residence permit, the employer provides a notarized undertaking for the staff. With this undertaking, the staff obtains a residence permit. The residence permit is issued for at least six months. After obtaining the residence permit, meaning after the ID card is issued, a work permit can be applied for.
For the residence permit, first an appointment must be taken through the official system using the personal information of the staff. A passport copy, two biometric photos, mother’s name, father’s name, and address are sufficient. To obtain a residence permit, a one-year private health insurance must be made, and the average cost is between 1,000 TL and 3,000 TL. After the appointment is taken, the appointment date is sent to your email or phone number. It is mandatory to be present at the appointment date and time.
