Turkey: Online Work Permit Application System Planned for 2010

Turkey’s Labor and Social Security Ministry plans to launch an online application system for work permits this year, according to Today’s Zaman. The new system will speed up the application process and allow employers to track an application’s status. In the interim, petitioning employers must request a password through Turkey’s government web portal and then submit required documents by mail or in person. Decisions regarding applications will be sent to a company email address.
