Introduction
Freedom of labor is one of the rights which is protected and
provided with the international agreements which Turkey is a
signatory and especially Turkish Constitution Article 48. However,
as the result of State sovereignty and public policy, the persons
who have not Turkish citizenship are subjected to some restriction,
in other words, they are basically required to obtain a work permit
to work in Turkey.
The conditions and scope of the right to work of Foreigners in
Turkey and the regulations which regulate this field are developed
day by day in Turkey. International Workforce Law numbered 6735
(hereinafter referred to as "International Workforce Law
" or "Law") entered into force 13 August 2016 which
regulates the policies relating international labor and specifies
and provides the new procedures and principles, competent
authorities and right and liabilities in relation to work permit
and work permit exemptions.
