1- HOW TO UPDATE THE INFORMATION FOR PREVIOUS EMPLOYER WHILE APPLYING FOR FOREIGNERS’ WORK PERMIT?
If there is a completed application for a foreigners’ work permit from before, the employer’s files can not be updated, changed or new files can not be added to it. The applications must be completed with the current documents. While forwarding the application to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, the documents that will be renewed must be stated in a petition which is added to the Employer file. The specialists who will evaluate the application will state these documents missing.

2- WHICH ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN IF AN ERROR MESSAGE IS SHOWN WHEN THE PREVIOUS DOCUMENT NUMBER IS USED FOR QUERIES?
You can continue the process if you have made a query with the TR Foreign Identification number belonging to the foreigner the application is made for.

3- WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IN CASE THE REFERENCE NUMBER GIVEN BY THE TURKISH FOREIGN REPRESENTATIVE DOES NOT MATCH THE NUMBER IN THE SYSTEM?
An embassy in the “E-konsolosluk” system creates a reference number such as: 2012-asdf1234-0101 (year-embassy code-the day and month of the application) and informs the foreigner who made the application. An online embassy will not produce a number in any other format. Eğer referans numarası aynı formatta değilse bağlı bulunan temsilcilik ile irtibat kurulması gerekmektedir.

4- WHAT IS THE DOCUMENT THAT IS OPENED WITH THE “OTHER DOCUMENTS” TITLE WHILE APPLYING ONLINE FOR A FOREIGNER WORK PERMIT?
This document type is reserved for the user to upload the documents they want to present to The Ministry of Labor and Social Security related to the work place or the foreign person. If there is no document to upload, you can scan an empty A4 paper in order to pass this part.

5- WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IF THE PROFESSION OF THE FOREIGNER CAN NOT BE FOUND IN THE SYSTEM?
The profession that needs to be found should be searched for in the İŞKUR website’s Turkish Profession Dictionary. If the searched profession is found in the Turkish Profession Dictionary, the duty branch should be checked in the details and can be found in the automation system with the same options. If the profession isn’t found in the İŞKUR website, you need to contact İŞKUR and make them add the profession to their profession dictionary.

6- HOW TO MAKE A CORRECTION IF THE EMPLOYER REALIZES THEY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE IN THE FOREIGNER WORK PERMIT APPLICATIONS?
Unless the foreigner work permit applications are sent to The Ministry of Labor and Social Security the applications have no legal value. This is why you can make a new application by choosing Applications -> New Application.

8- WHAT SHOULD BE DONE AFTER YOU APPLY ONLINE FOR A FOREIGNER WORK PERMIT?

9- HOW TO UPLOAD THE MISSING DOCUMENTS AFTER THE ONLINE APPLICATION FOR FOREIGNER WORK PERMIT?
