Turkish Visa
Ordinary passport holders are required to have visa to enter Turkey. They can obtain two month-multiple entry visas at the Turkish border gates.
Official passport (diplomatic, service, special and official passports) holders are exempt from visa for their travels up to 90 days.
If you are going to study or work in Turkey, you must obtain appropriate visa from Turkish diplomatic/consular missions, prior to proceeding to Turkey.

The English text of Turkish “Law on the Work Permit for Foreigners”, application forms and necessary information can be downloaded from: www.csgb.gov.tr
In line with the relevant provisions of above-mentioned Law:
“Foreigners residing out of Turkey make their working permission applications to the Republic of Turkey representations in the country where they are. The representations forward these applications directly to the Ministry [of Labour and Social Security]. The Ministry [of Labour and Social Security] assesses the applications in accordance with the 5th article [of the Law on the Work Permit for Foreigners] having taken the opinions of the relevant authorities; gives working permission to the foreigners whose situation is deemed appropriate. This permission is valid only when the required working visa and residence permission is taken. The foreigners, who have been issued working permission certificate, are obliged to request visa [from the Turkish Diplomatic Representation abroad] to enter the country within the latest ninety days from the date of taking this certificate, to apply to the Ministry of Interior Affairs to take “residence permission” within the latest thirty days from the date they have entered the country.
Foreigners that have valid residence permission in Turkey or their employers are entitled to make their application directly to the Ministry [of Labour and Social Security].
The working permissions are given and extended in accordance with this Law [on the Work Permit for Foreigners] and provisions of the regulations issued according to this Law [on the Work Permit for Foreigners], upon the written request of the foreigners that have residence permission or their employers.
The applications are answered within at most ninety days by the Ministry [of Labour and Social Security].
…
Independent working permission may be given by the Ministry [of Labour and Social Security] to the foreigners, who will work independently, on condition that they have resided in Turkey legally and uninterruptedly for at least five years.
….
Working permission for a definite period of time may be given also to the spouses and dependent children, who have come together with the foreigner or afterwards, on condition that they have resided with the foreigner legally and uninterruptedly for at least five years.”
Prior authorization from Turkish Central Authorities is required before issuing work visas to foreigners-citizens of all countries.
Applications for work visas are reviewed by the Turkish Embassy and forwarded to Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs for approval. Therefore, the applications must be submitted at least 6 weeks in advance. When this waiting period is over, upon receipt of a favorable reply from Turkish authorities, you can apply back to the same office with your passport and visa fee to get your work visa. Applicants without relevant work visas are not allowed to work in Turkey.
Visas for the purpose of taking up employment are subject to the approval of an application for work permit made through a Turkish employer (company) to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security of the Republic of Turkey.
Application for work visas to be referred to Ankara-Turkey by the Consular Section of the Embassy will be accepted accompanied by usual letter from the employer (company) in Turkey.
Initially there will be an application fee for referring application to Ankara. However, upon receipt of authorization, tickets and proof of sufficient funds along with the copy of labour contract must be submitted and necessary visa fee must be paid before a work visa can be issued. An acknowledgement document should be signed by the applicant when receiving a work visa.
Applications for work visas may take significantly longer time to process.
The time to be allowed for issuance of work visa varies and at present it will be necessary to contact Turkish Central Authorities in Ankara (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, and Ministry of Interior) to confirm. Since application needs to be referred, time allowed for issuance of such visa could be months.
Please note it is NOT advisable that air tickets are purchased before work visa is granted.
Work visa is usually valid up to 12 months from date of issue for the period according to work permit issued by local authorities in Turkey.
The residence permit should be obtained at the end of ONE MONTH stay and in any case BEFORE taking up employment.
The originals of the forms and documents which are required pursuant to the relevant Regulation on the Implementation of the Act on the Work Permit for Foreigners in Turkey should be conveyed by the employer (company) to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security of the Republic of Turkey in 3 work-days time.
To obtain residence on a work visa, an offer of employment must be accepted first. Then the Turkish sponsoring employer must apply for a work permit from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security:
- A copy of the employee’s passport showing all personal details and any other Turkish visas,
- A private sector employer must obtain necessary documents from the relevant Turkish Authorities,
- The original work permit will be sent to the employer company by the relevant Turkish authority, accordingly a copy of it will be faxed to the employee by the employer company, so s/he can get a work visa before coming to Turkey,
- In case the employer will fax a copy of the work permit, s/he or a company representative must wait for the employee at the airport with the original document.
Work visas must be issued abroad by the Turkish Diplomatic Representations and residence and work permits must be issued in Turkey.
Business travelers earning an income during their stay are required to ensure that the hosting company arranges for a work permit on their behalf. The individual alone cannot obtain this permit; the employer has to apply for permit in Turkey.
- An invitation letter from a Turkish sponsor with the passenger’s details is necessary.
- If self-employed, a letter from accounting firm, and/or a copy of license and registration. These letters should specify company’s name.

В большинстве учебных заведений обучение ведется на турецком языке. Уровень владения турецким языком определяет организация OSYM. Ее полное название – Orgenci Sceme re Yerlrestime Merkeri, т. е. Центр отбора и зачисления студентов. Количество мест для иностранных студентов в вузах определено заранее
Заявления в OSYM присылаются либо на турецком, либо на английском языках. Необходимое условие для подачи документов – претендент должен либо пройти курс обучения турецкому языку, либо закончить последний класс турецкой школы. Еще одна возможность быть допущенным OSYM к экзамену – закончить лицей, уровень которого соответствует последнему классу турецкой школы. Прохождение экзамена в OSYM платное, стоит $100, так что кроме заявления о допуске к экзамену OSYM нужно прикрепить квитанцию об оплате тестирования (proof of payment). Получив эти документы, OSYM высылает экзаменационный лист (Еxam Еntrance Сard). Для удобства абитуриентов OSYM создал сеть офисов. В Украине в г. Симферополе.
Когда оценки выставлены в Examination Results Card (экзаменационную карту), абитуриент должен определиться с программой, по которой он будет учиться. Есть программы, где преобладает английский, а есть такие, где все по-турецки.
RESEARCH VISAS AND FILMING & PHOTOGRAPHING VISAS
Foreigners who will shoot a documentary film, conduct a research or an archeological excavation should get a special permission from the Turkish authorities in advance. Application for special permission from the Turkish Central Authorities is made through Turkish missions abroad prior to proceeding to Turkey.
Applications should be made at least two (2) months before the date. All properly completed applications are processed as soon as possible and forwarded to Turkey to be reviewed. The Turkish Embassy will inform the applicant of the outcome of his/her application. However, due to the large volumes of applications by citizens of other countries to the competent Turkish Authorities, it may take two (2) to four (4) months for application process to be completed. Individuals whose applications are approved are issued a visa valid for the period they had specified on their application forms. Applicants who enter Turkey without the relevant visas are not allowed to carry out research, film shooting or photographing.
