Default Visa Requirements

Customs & Visas

All travellers need a passport valid for at least six months. Citizens of most countries can obtain a three-month tourist visa on entering Turkey.
Anyone wishing to work, study or stay for longer than three months must apply for the appropriate visa within one month of arrival.

The above isn't entirely correct. To work in Turkey, the employer needs to ask the visa for you, you can not do it yourself. Should you change your job while in Turkey, a new working permit has to be requested by your new employer. I wish visas could be requested by the worker himself, in that case I'd go back to Turkey in the snap of a finger's time. Unfortunately things are not that way. The employer has to do it for you, and some employers happily violate the rules because they have the impression they won't be controlled anyway.


To become a Turkish national you need to have lived in Turkey for minimum 7 years (exception is when you marry a Turkish citizen, in that case it is "only" 3 years) AND must pass some tests such as proving you are fluent in Turkish. Only if you have Turkish heritage it may be going more rapidly and easily.

Keep in mind there is a military service of I believe 2 years and unless you can prove to be physically or psychologically unfit, you may be called up.

As I understand it, you need to marry a Turk. I'd link it, but I'm not allowed to until I've made four posts. Just Google "Turkish naturalization" and follow the first link.

Regards,

Hello,

Turkish work permit is given by the Ministry of Employment in Ankara. The company must apply a work visa for you. After the work permit, you can get the residence permit in the police department. Generally the 5 star hotels get the work permits for their employees.

Degree is required for many jobs but depends on your work too.

Good Luck.
