Can I legally move from Afghanistan to Turkey for work?
Hi everyone,
I’m from Afghanistan and I’m planning to move to Turkey to work legally. I would like to know if this is currently possible for Afghan citizens.
If it is possible, could someone please explain the process and requirements in detail?
- What type of work visa or work permit do I need?
- Do I need to find an employer in Turkey before applying?
- Can a Turkish employer sponsor a foreign worker from Afghanistan?
- What documents are required?
- Can I apply from Afghanistan, or do I need to be in Turkey first?
- How difficult is it to get a work permit?
- Are there any important restrictions or things I should know?
I would really appreciate it if anyone with personal experience or reliable information could explain the process step by step.
Thank you very much for your help!
