For foreign personnel assigned to Turkey for assembly, installation, maintenance, repair, technical service, and similar short-term technical activities, selecting the correct visa type and running the application properly is essential.
BEST MAB provides end-to-end consulting and operational support for AMS / Assembly Visa processes for foreign personnel undertaking short-term technical assignments in Turkey.
An AMS / Assembly Visa is one of the visa routes assessed for foreign personnel who come to Turkey for a defined period under foreign companies or international projects to perform machine and equipment assembly, installation, commissioning, maintenance, repair, technical service, or similar expert activities.
Conditions may differ by nationality, activity in Turkey, assignment duration, project, and the practice of the Turkish foreign mission where the application is filed. The application type and required documents should therefore be determined before travel is planned.
We evaluate the intended activity and planned working period in Turkey and support selection of the appropriate application route.
Our support includes:
Especially in energy, oil & gas, maritime, offshore, engineering, machinery, manufacturing, and industrial projects, timely mobilization of foreign technical personnel can be critical for project continuity.
BEST MAB evaluates AMS / Assembly Visa, E-Exemption, and work-permit processes in connection with each other, supporting correct planning of the assignment.
Our aim is not only to file the application, but to manage the process from arrival through start of work in a compliant, planned, and as effective as possible way.
An assembly visa fits a person who comes for a defined technical job and then leaves: installing or commissioning equipment, a riding squad in a shipyard, or a short hitch on a platform or drillship. It is the entry step, not a substitute for employment.
If that person will work for months under a Turkish employer, the file is a long-term work permit. If the activity qualifies for a statutory exemption, E-Exemption may be required with the visa or after entry. Nationality, assignment length, and the practice of the Turkish mission decide which combination applies. We read those three together before travel is booked.
