How We Simplified Work Permits for an Expanding International Client in Turkey
Our client, a growing international company operating in Turkey, was facing the challenge of securing work permits for two highly skilled expatriates.
The company’s dynamic growth required the expertise of foreign professionals, but navigating the complexities of Turkish work permit regulations posed a significant challenge.
They turned to Bayraktar Attorneys for our specialized expertise in employment law and immigration services.
The company, which we’ll refer to as GlobalTech due to Turkish Attorneyship Law’s confidentiality requirements, sought our assistance in ensuring the seamless issuance of work permits and residency for their expatriate employees.
With two key vacancies for technical roles, it was critical to ensure these professionals could legally reside and work in Turkey without delay.
Understanding the urgency, we immediately began by guiding the company through the procedural steps required by Turkish law.
Since the employees were foreign nationals, one based in Turkey with a tourist visa and the other still residing abroad, the application processes for each employee would require tailored strategies.
For the employee already in Turkey, we facilitated the process by preparing the necessary documents and submitting them directly to the Ministry.
Meanwhile, for the expatriate still abroad, we worked closely with GlobalTech to ensure that their employee could make the appropriate visa application through the Turkish Consulate in their home country.
We provided step-by-step instructions for gathering essential documents such as the passport, graduation certificate with certified Turkish translations, biometric photos, and employment contracts.
One of the most critical aspects of the process was obtaining the 16-digit reference number from the Consulate, which we swiftly handled to ensure the work permit process could proceed smoothly.
Throughout the 6-8 week application process, our team ensured that every document was meticulously prepared and submitted, so there were no delays or complications.
With our assistance, both expatriate employees were able to secure their work permits and residency documents in compliance with Turkish law, allowing them to begin their roles without interruption.
GlobalTech was not only able to fill their critical positions but also gained confidence in navigating future expatriate hires through our seamless service.
By working closely with the company, we provided a comprehensive solution, from the initial visa application to the final approval of the work permits.
This story is a reflection of our commitment to supporting international businesses in Turkey, ensuring their legal compliance while empowering them to thrive in a competitive global market.
At Bayraktar Attorneys, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored immigration and employment law solutions that meet the unique needs of every client, large or small.
