Work Permit Approvals Delayed

Turkey

Many foreign nationals submitting work permit applications during the past month have experienced significant delays.

The delays are expected to be resolved in November after the upcoming election.  However, if the election results in a party change, there may be further delays due to the anticipated appointment of new immigration managers. 

What This Means for Foreign Nationals

Foreign workers should submit work permit applications and renewals as early as possible to account for the approval delays.
