A.V., a 34-year-old software engineer from Russia, received a hybrid-work offer from an Istanbul tech startup. He wanted to relocate to Turkey but had no knowledge of the bureaucratic process.
His employer had never hired a foreign national before. SGK registration, the minimum wage requirement, and the Ministry application were all new territory. The language barrier added further complexity.
We first guided the employer through SGK obligations and the formal employment commitment. After regularising the company's foreign-hire status, we compiled A.V.'s diploma equivalency, reference letters, and employment contract, then submitted a complete application to the Ministry of Labour.
The permit was approved 43 days after submission. A.V. joined his team on schedule and, within the same process, secured short-term residence permits for his family so they could relocate together.
