depending on the employer and working arrangement.

Working hours may be distributed across the working week according to Turkish labour law and the employment contract.

The exact schedule will be provided before the candidate accepts employment.

SALARY

Turkey’s statutory minimum wage for 1 January–31 December 2026 is:

TRY 33,030 GROSS PER MONTH

The official Ministry calculation produces a standard employee net minimum of:

TRY 28,075.50 NET PER MONTH

after the specified employee social-security and unemployment-insurance deductions.

Actual salaries may be higher depending on:

Employer
Position
Experience
Shift
Responsibilities
Productivity
Specialist skills

The formal employment contract will identify the applicable gross wage.

IMPORTANT FOREIGN-WORKER SALARY RULE

Turkey applies additional wage criteria when employers apply for work permits for foreign employees.

For foreigners employed in ordinary jobs, the wage cannot be below the applicable gross minimum wage.

For positions requiring recognised expertise or skilled craftsmanship, the applicable work-permit wage criterion is generally:

AT LEAST 2 TIMES THE GROSS MINIMUM WAGE

This distinction is important.

A genuine entry-level Factory or Warehouse Worker may fall under the ordinary-job criterion, whereas a skilled technical or master-level manufacturing position may require a higher wage for work-permit purposes.

The final classification must reflect the genuine job.

OVERTIME

Additional working hours may become available because of:

Increased production
Large orders
Warehouse demand
Manufacturing deadlines
Delivery requirements

Overtime is not guaranteed.

Any overtime must be handled according to Turkish labour law and the employee’s contract.

ACCOMMODATION PROVIDED

Accommodation will be arranged for successful employees under the recruitment package.

Potential arrangements include:

Shared apartments
Shared houses
Worker accommodation
Employer-arranged housing

Employees may share:

Bedrooms
Kitchen
Bathroom
Laundry facilities
Living areas

Any applicable accommodation charges, utilities or lawful deductions will be clearly disclosed before employment is accepted.

LUNCH PROVIDED

Lunch will be provided during scheduled working days according to employer arrangements.

Exact arrangements will be explained before employment begins.

SOCIAL SECURITY

Foreign workers legally employed in Turkey are subject to applicable Turkish employment and social-security requirements.

The formal employment arrangements will identify applicable contributions and employment conditions.

WORK PERMIT FOR FOREIGN WORKERS

Foreign citizens generally require appropriate authorisation before legally working in Turkey.

For applicants applying from outside Turkey, the work-permit procedure normally involves two stages.

STAGE 1 – FOREIGN WORKER

The foreign candidate applies through the Turkish embassy or consulate in the country where they are a citizen or legally resident.

The applicant receives a 16-digit reference number.

STAGE 2 – TURKISH EMPLOYER

The candidate provides the reference number to the Turkish employer.

The employer then submits the work-permit application electronically to the Turkish Ministry of Labour and Social Security.

The Ministry states that properly completed applications are generally evaluated within 30 days, provided all required information and documents are complete. This is an administrative processing target, not a guarantee of approval.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

A signed employment contract between the foreign worker and Turkish employer forms part of the work-permit documentation.

EMPLOYER ELIGIBILITY

Turkey applies specific requirements to employers seeking work permits for foreign workers.

Under the general rule, a workplace is normally expected to employ:

AT LEAST 5 TURKISH CITIZENS FOR EACH FOREIGN WORKER

subject to exemptions and special sector rules.

Employers may also need to satisfy financial requirements concerning matters such as:

Paid-in capital
Net sales
Export revenue

The exact criteria depend on the business and applicable exemption.

IMPORTANT 2026 MANUFACTURING-SECTOR RULE

Turkey introduced specific foreign-worker assessment provisions for the manufacturing sector effective 3 August 2026.

Manufacturing work-permit applications are assessed with reference to the Turkish citizens employed by the business across Turkey.

Where additional foreign labour is required, special manufacturing-sector provisions apply through 31 December 2027 concerning applications based on the number of Turkish citizens employed at the manufacturing workplace.

This makes genuine manufacturing recruitment different from an employer simply attempting to sponsor overseas workers for an unrelated general job.

Every employer and vacancy must still satisfy the applicable Ministry criteria.

WAREHOUSE POSITIONS

Candidates should understand that a standalone warehouse business may not necessarily receive the same treatment as a position genuinely falling within the manufacturing-sector provisions.

A Warehouse Worker employed directly as part of a qualifying manufacturing operation may have different employer circumstances from a Warehouse Worker employed by an independent logistics company.

Work-permit eligibility must therefore be assessed against the actual:

Employer
Industry
Workplace
Job
Duties

WORK PERMIT ASSISTANCE

Candidates selected by an eligible employer will receive assistance with the applicable process.

Assistance may include guidance concerning:

Employment contract
Employer documentation
Consular application
Work-permit reference number
Passport documents
Work experience
Qualifications where required
Supporting documents
Work-permit application
Pre-departure requirements

Applicants must provide genuine and accurate documents.

WORK PERMIT IS NOT GUARANTEED

A Turkish employment offer does not automatically guarantee a work permit.

Applications are evaluated according to Turkey’s international labour-force policy and applicable work-permit criteria.

Eligibility can depend on:

Employer
Employer’s Turkish workforce
Employer financial requirements
Sector
Position
Salary
Candidate
Qualifications where applicable
Supporting documentation
Other legal requirements

The final decision belongs to the Turkish authorities.

EXPERIENCE

Previous experience can be useful but is not required for every entry-level vacancy.

Relevant experience includes:

Warehousing
Factory work
Manufacturing
Packing
Order picking
Production
Assembly
Logistics
Food production
Automotive manufacturing

Candidates should provide full details of relevant employment.

Submitting an application does not automatically guarantee selection.
