HOW FOREIGNER WORK PERMIT APPLICATIONS ARE ISSUED FOR TURKEY
.
The previous Law 4817 on Work Permits in Turkey for Foreigners has been abolished. The International Labor Law 6735 (UIK) has entered into force on the date of publication in the Official Gazette No. 29800 dated 13 August 2016. The replacement law in effect, brings important changes to the work permit policy and system quality, while offering faster foreigner work permit application process in the government online system.
.
.
.
The new law will be the main legislation regulating non-Turkish citizens’ entry into Turkey’s labor market.
.
The new law is not as procedural as its predecessor. Rather it regulates foreigners’ entry into the Turkish labor market in a more extensive and disciplined way. One of the most important innovations of the new law is the introduction of a new international labor force policy for Turkey -a selective policy toward managing which immigrants will enter the Turkish labor market.
