Why Türkiye is recruiting from Pakistan in 2026.

Three strong waves of demand are running at the same time in Türkiye and none of them is slowing down: hotels and tourism along the Antalya–Bodrum–Istanbul coast (more than 50 million visitors a year), construction for earthquake rebuilding and large projects such as Kanal Istanbul and new metro lines, and a textile and manufacturing labour market that is always short of workers.

Pakistani workforce fits the Turkish market well — culturally close, work-tested across GCC and European deployments, English-functional on multinational sites, and known for long contract retention. Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment is licensed under Pakistan's Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment (OEP Licence No. 2868/RWP) and has been deploying overseas manpower since 2010.

The Türkiye work permit route, stage by stage.

1

Offer letter and service contract

Turkish employer issues a formal offer letter and signs the bilingual service contract with Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment. Roles, salary, accommodation, and contract length are confirmed at this stage.

2

Applying through e-Devlet

The Turkish employer starts the work permit application on the e-Devlet portal of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security (Çalışma ve Sosyal Güvenlik Bakanlığı). The employer provides its trade registry, tax certificate and social security clearance.

3

Paperwork in Pakistan

At the same time we prepare the candidate's documents: BISE-attested education certificates, IBCC equivalence and a MOFA apostille. Pakistan joined the Hague Apostille Convention in May 2024, so an apostille is now the standard instead of legalisation.

4

Medical and police clearance

A medical with the panel approved for Türkiye, a police character certificate issued within the last 90 days, and biometrics collected for the Turkish consulate file.

5

Visa sticker and travel

Once the work permit is approved (usually 4–6 weeks after the application), the Turkish embassy in Islamabad issues the work visa. A pre-departure briefing, FIA processing and Protector of Emigrants clearance complete the file.

6

Arrival on site and residence permit

The worker arrives in Türkiye, gets a residence permit (İkamet İzni) within 30 days and starts work under the formal contract.

Our work on the Pakistan side.

From the moment a Turkish employer confirms manpower demand, Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment manages the complete Pakistan-side documentation chain. The employer receives a ready-to-deploy candidate file — we own everything in between.

Workers Turkish employers are taking on.

Construction: Welders (3G–6G certified), steel fixers, shuttering carpenters, masons, plumbers, LV/MV electricians, pipe fitters, HVAC technicians, plant operators, site supervisors and safety officers.

Standard terms for workers deployed to Türkiye.

Two-year contracts for every worker, which can be renewed at the end if both sides agree.

Paid annual leave under Turkish labour law (usually 14–20 days, depending on length of service).

Overtime, weekends and holidays — our workers are briefed in advance on flexible shifts and on what is expected of them abroad.

Pakistani workers are hard-working and adaptable, and they have a good record of staying long-term in their jobs in Türkiye.

Questions employers ask us

Can a company in Türkiye hire workers from Pakistan?

Yes. The Turkish employer files the work permit on e-İzin / MoLSS. A BEOE-licensed OEP (2868/RWP) handles sourcing, trade-testing, PakSoftSkills, PCC, medical and Protector clearance in Pakistan.

What does the 5-to-1 rule mean?

As a general rule, a Turkish workplace needs about five Turkish employees registered with SGK for each foreign worker. There are exceptions for companies with high turnover. Check the current ÇSGB rules before applying.

Does the employer pay a sourcing fee to Crown?

No. Finding, screening and trade-testing candidates is not charged to the employer. The employer pays the Turkish permit fees, tickets, wages, housing and insurance.

How long does deployment from Pakistan to Türkiye take?

At best 6–8 weeks, usually 8–12 weeks, and longer if the ratio, the medical or the embassy file is held up.
