From Bursa and İzmir to Istanbul and Antalya, Türkiye's factories, hotels and logistics yards are expanding faster than the local labour pool can fill. That gap is why Turkish employers increasingly turn to Pakistan — and why Crown runs a dedicated Türkiye desk built around the work-permit paperwork that usually slows these hires down. Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment sources and processes workers for Türkiye and manages the full Pakistan-side compliance.

Crown's edge in this corridor is simple: we run the Turkish work-permit route end to end from Islamabad — the MoLSS application, the consular reference step here in Pakistan, and the citizen-to-foreigner ratio rule that catches out employers who try to manage it alone.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular — Türk İşverenler İçin

Personel tedarik firması arıyorum, Pakistan'dan işçi getirebilir misiniz?

Evet. Crown Enterprises, Pakistan merkezli lisanslı bir personel tedarik firmasıdır (OEP 2869/RWP). Fabrika işçisi, tekstil işçisi, inşaat işçisi ve ağırlama personeli dahil toplu işçi alımı taleplerinizi karşılıyoruz — adaydan çalışma iznine kadar tüm süreç bizim tarafımızdan yürütülür.

Yurtdışından işçi getirme süreci ne kadar sürer?

Talebin onaylanmasından işçinin sahaya ulaşmasına kadar genellikle 6-12 hafta sürer; süre büyük ölçüde Çalışma ve Sosyal Güvenlik Bakanlığı'nın izin işlem süresine bağlıdır. Evrak hazırlığını paralel yürüterek süreci mümkün olduğunca kısaltıyoruz.

İşgücü ithalatı işverene maliyetli mi?

Hayır. Aday bulma, eleme, evrak ve sevkiyat maliyetleri Crown Enterprises tarafından karşılanır; işverenden yalnızca sabit bir hizmet bedeli alınır, yasal çalışma izni ve vize masrafları ise sponsor olarak işverene aittir.

Vasıflı işçi temini yapıyor musunuz, yoksa sadece vasıfsız personel mi?

Her ikisi de. Kaynakçı, tesisatçı, CNC operatörü gibi vasıflı işçilerden, üretim hattı ve depo personeli gibi yarı vasıflı ve vasıfsız işçilere kadar geniş bir havuzumuz vardır — hepsi meslek testinden geçirilir.

Hangi şehirlerde personel tedarik ediyorsunuz?

İstanbul, Bursa, İzmir, Kayseri, Antalya ve Gaziantep dahil Türkiye genelindeki işverenlere hizmet veriyoruz; belirli organize sanayi bölgeleri için özel sayfalarımız da mevcuttur.

En iyi ve güvenilir personel tedarik firması hangisi?

Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment (Crown), BEOE tarafından lisanslı (OEP 2869/RWP), ISO 9001:2015 sertifikalı ve 16+ yıldır faaliyette olan, doğrulanabilir bir kurumdur. Petrol-gaz, enerji ve inşaat sektörlerinde uluslararası şirketlere referanslı hizmet verdik.

Kaynakçı, dokumacı, elektrikçi veya şoför gibi belirli meslek gruplarında işçi tedarik ediyor musunuz?

Evet. Kaynakçı, elektrikçi, dokuma/tekstil operatörü, ağır vasıta şoförü, forklift operatörü ve genel inşaat işçisi dahil geniş bir meslek yelpazesinde önceden test edilmiş aday havuzumuz mevcuttur.

Personel outsourcing hizmeti veya geçici/sözleşmeli işçi temini yapıyor musunuz?

Evet. İşverenin ihtiyacına göre belirli süreli sözleşmeli personel temini sağlıyoruz; çalışma izni süresi boyunca işçi işverene bağlı kalır — bu bir outsourcing/dış kaynak işgücü modelidir.

Kayseri's labour shortage, in numbers.

Kayseri's manufacturing sector has faced a documented labour gap as Syrian refugee labour has reduced following the end of the war — local reporting put the number of Pakistani-worker permit applications from Kayseri employers at around 3,000 as of mid-2026, with hundreds of businesses applying through official channels for blue-collar staff they can no longer source domestically. This isn't a hypothetical corridor — it's an active, documented demand pattern, and one we're positioned to serve directly through our Kayseri-specific page.

Two Pakistan-side compliance steps every employer should know about.

What is PakSoftSkills, and is it mandatory?

Yes. Since 19 November 2025, every Pakistani worker travelling abroad on a work visa must complete the free PakSoftSkills training and register at softskills.oec.gov.pk before the Protector of Emigrants will stamp their passport — without it, the worker cannot legally depart. We handle this registration for every candidate as a standard part of our pre-departure process, so it never becomes a bottleneck on your side.

How are candidates trade-tested before deployment?

Skilled and semi-skilled candidates are trade-tested through NAVTTC-approved centres before we shortlist them to you — welders, electricians, machine operators and other technical trades are verified against recognised standards, not just self-reported experience.

Licensed deployment — OEP 2869/RWP.

Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment is a BEOE-licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP 2869/RWP), ISO 9001:2015 certified, and a member of POEPA and LCCI. Licence and ISO copies are attached to the employer feasibility pack on request.

The Process

The Turkish work-permit route.

The Türkiye route is employer-led: the Turkish company files for the work permit with the Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MoLSS), and the candidate completes a consular step in Pakistan. Here is how it runs in practice:

  1. 1. Work contract & employer application The Turkish employer lodges the work-permit application for the named worker with the Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MoLSS).
  2. 2. Consular reference (in Pakistan) At the same time, Crown prepares the worker's file and secures the Consular Reference Number from the Turkish Embassy in Islamabad or the Consulate in Karachi.
  3. 3. Ministry review & approval MoLSS reviews the file — applying the citizen-to-foreign-worker ratio that bites hardest in textiles and manufacturing — before issuing its decision.
  4. 4. Protector stamping & deployment On approval the work visa is issued; we secure the BEOE Protectorate stamp in Pakistan and arrange deployment flights (e.g. Pakistan/Faisalabad to Istanbul).

Steps, timelines and the citizen-ratio rule here are indicative and move with current Turkish regulations and individual cases. Crown confirms the live requirements for your roles before anything is committed.

Integration

Pre-departure language & cultural training.

Before departure, every worker bound for Türkiye gets cultural orientation and the basic Turkish needed for site safety and daily tasks — so they are productive from week one, which is exactly what Turkish site managers ask us for.

Pakistan Side

The compliance we handle.

As an Islamabad-based licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP 2869/RWP), we close out BEOE Protectorate clearance, attestation, medicals and police verification in Pakistan before anyone flies — so every worker lands in Türkiye fully and legally documented.

FAQ

Türkiye recruitment questions.

What is the 5-to-1 ratio rule for Turkish work permits?

As a rule of thumb, Türkiye expects an employer to keep roughly five Turkish citizens on payroll for every foreign worker sponsored — which hits textiles and manufacturing hardest, though certain roles and conditions are exempt. Crown structures each application around that ratio and re-checks the current rule before processing.

How does the Turkish work-permit process work?

In sequence: the Turkish employer files with the Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MoLSS); the worker registers for a Consular Reference Number at the Turkish mission in Pakistan; the Ministry reviews and approves; the visa is issued; and Crown closes out BEOE Protectorate clearance before anyone deploys.

What is the Consular Reference Number?

It is the reference created when the worker lodges their work-visa application at the Turkish Embassy (Islamabad) or Consulate (Karachi); it ties the worker to the employer's Ministry file. Crown manages this step in Pakistan.

Which Turkish cities and sectors do you serve?

Textiles around Bursa and İzmir (machine operators, tailors, quality controllers); hospitality and tourism in Antalya and Istanbul (English- and Arabic-speaking chefs, stewards and front-desk staff); and a steady pull from manufacturing and logistics.

How long does the Turkey process take?

It comes down to Ministry review and visa-appointment timelines; Crown gives a realistic estimate per batch. Because rules and processing times shift, we confirm the current position before committing.

Do you provide language or cultural training?

Yes — Crown runs pre-departure cultural orientation and the basic Turkish needed for site safety and daily work, so workers settle in faster.

Türkiye'de mavi yaka personel temini nasıl çalışır?

Crown, Pakistan'da işçi ön seçimi, saha testleri ve tüm evrak sürecini yürütür; Türkiye tarafında işveren Çalışma ve Sosyal Güvenlik Bakanlığı'na (MoLSS) başvurur. Süreç uçtan uca yönetilir ve işverene herhangi bir maliyet çıkmaz.

Yurtdışından, Pakistan'dan işçi getirmek mümkün mü?

Evet. 2010'dan bu yana OEP lisanslı bir kurum olarak tekstil, inşaat, imalat ve ağırlama sektörlerine yönelik vasıflı ve yarı vasıflı Pakistanlı işçi tedariki yapıyoruz; işe alım izni, vize ve seyahat süreçlerinin tamamı bizim tarafımızdan yürütülür.
