According to the Article 23 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Everyone has the right to work, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment and has the right to equal pay for equal work, however, as we mentioned on the previous article; in recent years it is shown that Turkey has become the centre of attraction and the destination country for those who come from close or neighbour countries.
Therefore, some regulations and works were attempted to regulate the irregular rise of the number of illegal employees and work permits of legal foreign employee moreover, these regulations and works have brought types of foreigner’s work permit, conditions for the work permit, its application process, procedure, governance and, judicial remedy along with themselves.
WHAT IS WORK PERMIT?
Foreigners’, which we have explained clearly in our previous articles, the ability to work in the specific branch of industry is bound to the work permit.
According to this, the work permit can be defined as an official document which ensures foreigner’s workability.
Furthermore, the work permit which is being regulated by the Republic of Family, Labour and Social Service can also be regarded as the residence permit.
The work permit is liable to different period and types. According to this:
-Continuous Work Permit
The continuous work permit is an official permit which is given to the foreigner on the condition that working in a certain job as a period of maximum one year at the first application. At the second application, if the application is considered positively, the continuous work permit is given as maximum two years long and at the next applications, the work permit is given as maximum of three years.
-Indefinite Work Permit
The indefinite work permit is a work permit that can be applied by foreigners who have a long-term residence permit in Turkey or at least eight years-long work permit.
-Independent Work Permit
The Independent work permit is a work permit which is given to the foreigners who have a profession if the special conditions which are regulated in the Code are available.
WHO CAN GET THE WORK PERMIT?
It should be known that foreigners who are going to apply the work permit have to have a residence permit which is at least six years long and still continues.
The provision of law, that is regulated for the same subject, comprises natural and artificial person who;
a) applies to work or is already working in Turkey,
b) applies to be trained by an employer or is already training,
c) applies to do an internship or is already doing an internship,
d) temporary transfrontier service providers

TURQUOISE CARD
Turquois Card, which has entered in force during the recent years in Turkey, is an official document which supplies work and residence permit to the foreigner. Application for the Turquois Card can be made from directly through the application system within the domestic area, however, if the foreigner is in abroad, the application can be made from the Turkish foreign representative where the foreigner’s hometown or legal location.

Being a qualified foreigner is the main condition for Turquoise Card.
The Regulations of Turquoise Card explains the foreigners who can have it. According to this, these are the foreigners who can be defined as qualified:
