Why Turkish workshops hire auto body staff from Pakistan
Türkiye’s vehicle fleet and dealership/workshop network have grown faster than the domestic pool of trained body-shop staff. Auto body shops, dealership service centres and fleet-repair workshops are short of workers who can deliver a clean spray finish or straighten a panel without repainting it. Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment recruits Pakistani Auto Painters and Auto Denters for Turkish employers on employer-sponsored work permits.
Auto Painter vs. Auto Denter — what you are hiring
An Auto Painter works in the spray booth: masking panels, mixing paint to the exact factory colour code, spray application of primer and base coat, then clear coat and final buffing to a factory-match finish.
An Auto Denter — formally a Bodywork Technician / Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) specialist — removes dents and restores panel shape, covering traditional panel-beating and body alignment plus PDR with glue-pulling kits and dent rods. Most workshops need both skill sets, so we recruit the two roles side by side.
Typical package for these roles
Turkish employers currently offer USD 750 per month for both roles, with free food, free accommodation, medical cover and company transport to and from the workshop. You pay Crown no sourcing, screening or trade-testing fee; flights and statutory government fees are agreed case by case.
Screening: 3 years’ experience and a work video
Because you cannot try a worker on a shift before filing the permit, we require a minimum of 3 years’ hands-on experience and a short work video of each candidate doing the job: spray-painting or panel preparation for painters, dent-pulling, panel-beating or PDR for denters.
The video comes with the shortlist, so you can judge the work before you commit. This one step has noticeably reduced mismatched placements, and Turkish employers now expect it as standard.
The Türkiye work-permit process, step by step
Once you approve a candidate, you file the work-permit application through the e-Devlet portal (Ministry of Labour and Social Security). In parallel, Crown prepares the candidate-side documents in Pakistan, including medical fitness and police clearance, so both tracks run at the same time. A realistic timeline from offer to deployment is 7–9 weeks once the document chain is complete.
To keep that timeline, we put forward candidates who are in Pakistan and available immediately.
