Work Permit Extension

In order to extend the duration of a work permit, an extension application must be made before the expiration of the leave period, provided that it is not more than two months back from the expiration date of the current work permit. Applications for extension after the expiry of the work permit shall not be processed.

The request for the extension of the work permit is made electronically via e-government as in the first application.

After one year of legal working time, if the extension application to be made pursuant to Article 7 of the Law no. 6735 is evaluated positively, the first extension application under the same employer is maximum two years and for further extension applications, a work permit of up to three years may obtained.

Applications made to work with a different employer are considered subject to the procedures and principles of the first application.

''e-signature'' is compulsory for the extension of work permit.

The Ministry of Labor and Social Security prefers to renew the work permit of foreigners in the Application System.

According to the renewal, it is obligatory that the applicant (employer or the representative) and the foreign person requesting an independent or indefinite work permit in any work permit application to be made must have a REM account in accordance with the electronic notification and the applications must be made by electronic signature.
