    🇹🇷 Turkey updates the work permit exemption application system

    From 17 September 2026, new applications for a work permit exemption (çalışma izni muafiyeti) are submitted through calismaizni.csgb.gov.tr. Applications submitted earlier continue to be tracked in the previous e-Muafiyet system.

    An exemption may apply, for example, to certain cases of short-term provision of services, installation and servicing of equipment, and scientific and cultural activity.

    To work on this basis, an exemption must be obtained: the conditions and the permitted period depend on the applicant’s category.

    📌 If you are planning short-term work or a visit by specialists to Turkey, check the appropriate basis and the filing deadlines in advance.
