Application Regulation Concerning Law on Work Permits of
Foreigners (Regulation), which has the purposes of giving, limiting
and canceling work permits, regulating the procedure and principles
of foreigners who will be exempted from the work permit and how to
fulfill the obligation of notification in Turkey, was changed and
innovated by the Amendment Regulation published on the Official
Gazette dated January 22, 2015.
As mentioned in the Law, foreigners must obtain work permit
before working dependent or independent in Turkey. On bilateral or
multilateral agreements, which Turkey is a party, may be agreed
otherwise. However, foreigners who are specified in the first
paragraph of Article 55 of the Regulation do not need to obtain a
work permit. Mentioned amendment only subjects foreigners who are
described under clauses (c) and (ç) of Article 55 entitled
"Exemptions".
