Foreigners who would want to work and practice their professions
in Turkey must obtain a work permit under the Law on Work Permits
for Foreigners ("Work Permits Law")1.
This being the case, certain professions such as being a dentist,
pharmacist etc. can only be practised by Turkish citizens.
So, one can not deny the fact that foreigners can freely practice
their professions in Turkey but of course by complying the legal
requirements and procedures of Turkish law.
Is it easy? Well; you have to start at some point, so may the
force be with you...
Work Permits Law states that the work permits can be obtained by
the foreigners simply by applying to the Turkish embassies and
consulates in the countries that they reside or of which they are
the citizens. Applications can be made either in hard copy or in
electronic form. The diplomatic missions of Turkey in those
countries relate the work permit applications made to them, to the
Ministry of Labor and Social Security
