Introduction

Türkiye introduces significant amendments to the criteria applied to work permit procedures for foreigners. The present article will provide an updated observation on the new changes. While analyzing the current situation, the present work will underline the applicability of the existing rules together with the newly introduced exceptions and their practical implications.

The amendments should not be interpreted as establishing a general exemption from the requirement to obtain a work permit. Rather, they introduce specific exceptions from certain work permit evaluation criteria where the conditions prescribed by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security are satisfied.
