Turquoise Card
The Turquoise Card gives unlimited work and residence rights in Türkiye and brings residence for your spouse and children. Unlike a work permit, it isn't tied to one employer. Assessment is points-based and stricter, so we check your case carefully before you start.

Questions about this service
Who is it for?
Highly skilled professionals with relevant experience, investors whose capital or job creation matters to Türkiye's economy, researchers and people with international achievement in science, technology or the arts; there are also R&D and startup categories.
Is it permanent from day one?
No. It starts with a three-year transition period and becomes permanent if your situation holds.
Does my family get residence?
Yes — your spouse and dependent children.
How is it different from a work permit?
A work permit depends on an employer or your company and is renewed periodically; the Turquoise Card gives unlimited rights. In exchange, admission is stricter.
