For foreign nationals to be employed in Turkey on a long-term and lawful basis, work-permit processes must be planned correctly, applications prepared in line with current legislation, and permit periods followed without interruption.
BEST MAB manages the full foreign-personnel employment process for domestic and international companies operating in Turkey — from preparing work-permit applications through to extensions — with a professional, end-to-end approach.
Long-term work-permit processes cover applications that enable foreign personnel to work in Turkey under an employer, as well as extension procedures that keep existing permits continuous.
The application process may differ by nationality, occupation, job description, the employee’s current legal status in Turkey, the employer’s field of activity, and the type of application. Each file should therefore be assessed on its own terms and run with a clear strategy.
We do not limit work-permit support to the application step alone; we treat the foreign employee’s working period in Turkey as a whole.
Before filing, we assess eligibility for the employee and the employer, identify required documents, and prepare the application file. We then handle submission, follow-up with the competent authorities, preparation of additional information when requested, tracking of the outcome, and post-permit steps.
We also monitor existing permit expiry dates so extensions are filed on time and the employee’s working status is not interrupted.
Incomplete or incorrect steps can delay applications, trigger extra document requests, or lead to negative outcomes. For companies employing large numbers of foreign personnel, central and systematic permit management is critical for operational continuity.
With experience in legislation tracking, application planning, and process management, BEST MAB helps companies run foreign-personnel operations quickly, orderly, and sustainably.
