Platforms, drillships, and support craft in Turkish waters run on crews who cannot slip a rotation. BEST MAB plans work permits and entry visas for foreign specialists on open-sea campaigns — including Black Sea gas developments and other offshore drilling — so mobilization matches the vessel schedule.
A typical campaign mixes marine crew, drilling contractors, subsea and commissioning teams, and equipment specialists sent by the operator or a foreign contractor. Some stay for one hitch. Others remain for a phase of the field. We treat each group separately instead of forcing one application type on the whole manifest.
A missed hitch delays the well or the hook-up. We start from the person’s nationality, role, and planned time in Turkey, then choose the path that can be filed before travel: a long-term permit when the posting is employment, or a short-term exemption or assembly visa when the work is a defined technical visit.
Land drilling and drillship programs are also covered under drilling and petroleum. Send the vessel, the roles, and the join dates and we will line the files up with the campaign.
