Immigration Services

As PwC Turkey, we provide professional consultancy services for obtaining work and residence permits for foreigners employed in Turkey.

PwC Turkey specialists attend meetings held by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security to update the legislation regarding work permits and to make new regulations and continue their activities relevant to developing this process. That gives our staff the competency to inform clients about any potential risks and opportunities and full knowledge regarding the latest developments at the Ministry.

The aim of our activities is to help our clients fulfil the work permit processes in the fastest way by providing solutions based on our experience and knowledge.

PwC has employees in Ankara who follow up work permit applications on a regular basis and meet with Ministry officials when necessary in addition to the specialists at the Istanbul office who visit the Ankara office regularly.
