Regarding the Work Rights of International Students

Dear Student,

While you hold a student residence permit in Turkey, you have the right to work. This right begins after the first year if you are an associate or undergraduate student, and without any time limitation if you are a master’s or doctoral student.

If you meet the necessary requirements, you are eligible to obtain a work permit or apply for a work permit.

This service is managed by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.

For detailed information about the work permit, you can contact the ALO 170 information line.

Sincerely,

Istinye University
International Office
