A report in the Hurriyet Daily News highlights important changes in work permit/residence permit laws.

These changes would mean a significant improvement in the fairly heavy and confusing bureaucratic processes involved in getting both of the documents in place.

From now on, whoever obtains a work permit in Turkey automatically will have a residence permit too.

“That foreigner will not have to wait for a residence permit,” said the Interior Minister, Muammer Güler, last week.

The news gets better still for anyone who has already spent a few years in Turkey; foreigners who have stayed in Turkey with a valid residence permit for eight years uninterruptedly can be given an unlimited residence permit.

Provided you make an appointment  beforehand and take all the correct documents with you on the day, there is no reason for this process to be too stressful.

 

It really helps if you can speak Turkish so consider taking a Turkish friend with you if possible.
