Additional documents may be requested during assessment. We provide support in interpreting these requests and organising the response file.

After the decision, SGK notification, employment registration and workplace compliance obligations arise. We provide a general checklist for these.
Do you provide legal advice?
No. The information we provide is general in nature and does not substitute for legal advice. An authorised Turkish lawyer should be consulted on legal matters.
