Kayseri, Bursa, İzmir — where Pakistani mavi yaka actually go

Demand in Türkiye is not national; it comes from particular industrial zones and trades. If your plant is in one of these cities, here is the quick guide.

Published 2026-09-20 · Islamabad · Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment · OEP 2868/RWP

Bursa and İzmir: textile hubs

Machine operators, sewing, weaving, quality. Gulf-experienced Pakistani stitchers adapt fast to shift work. This is still the highest-volume corridor Crown runs into Türkiye.

Kayseri OSB: furniture, metalwork, textiles and farm machinery

Local press through mid-2026 reported thousands of work-permit applications for Pakistani workers from Kayseri employers after Syrian labour became scarcer. Our dedicated page is here: Kayseri Pakistani işçi tedariki.

İstanbul and Gaziantep

Production lines, warehousing, forklift and LTV/HTV drivers. The ratio rule bites here, so send your SGK figures early.

Antalya

Kitchen, housekeeping and steward staff for the coastal hotels. For the summer peak, the file must be opened well before the season — not in June.

Same licence, same zero sourcing fee, different city paperwork. Name the city in the first WhatsApp. Crown is OEP 2868/RWP in Islamabad.

Hiring from Pakistan

How a Türkiye hire runs with us.

  1. You send the demand. Roles, headcount, salary, contract length and start date. Crown replies in writing by the next working day.
  2. We source and trade-test. Candidates are tested in person in Pakistan; a tested shortlist reaches you within 5 to 10 working days.
  3. You interview and approve. Only the candidates you approve go forward.
  4. Permits and clearances. You file the work permit through e-Devlet (Ministry of Labour and Social Security). Each candidate is filed against a 16-digit government reference code with a fixed 30-day employer registration deadline, and the 5-to-1 rule on Turkish to foreign staff applies.
  5. Orientation and travel. Pre-departure orientation on duties, host-country culture and labour rights, then travel and arrival support.
Cost and paperwork

Your costs and your paperwork.

You pay Crown no sourcing, screening or trade-testing fee. Statutory items on your side, such as work-permit fee (harç), and the contract package stay with you; flight tickets are agreed case by case. Workers are charged only the placement fee permitted by BEOE regulation.

To start, the employer typically provides four things: the demand letter, a power of attorney in Crown’s favour, the job contract, and whatever permit documents the destination country requires. See the full document list.
