Türkiye: Overview of the 5:1 Ratio | #MobilityMinute

In this Mobility Minute, Manager Mariana Da Encarnacao discusses Turkish work permits, the 5:1 ratio requirement and common exceptions for employers not required to maintain the ratio.

The Turkish entity that sponsors the work permit application, acting as the employer, is required to meet a set of standards for the duration of the permit. The 5:1 ratio means that the employer must maintain five Turkish employees for every one foreign national employee per worksite, unless granted a specific exemption.
