Hi,

Does anyone know whether the work visa is automatically approved when someone opens a new business in Turkey ?

Thanks

Thomas

Automatically approved? Definitely not, you still need to apply for it and wait to see if it will get approved. I think you need to obtain an independent work visa first in order to open a business.

Check out:

However, the Ministry of Labour website says:
http://www. csgb.gov.tr/csgbPortal/yabancilar/eng/sss/bagimsiz_izin.html

"The foreigner may be granted the independent work permit, after having established his/her worksite, in case the latter submits his/her trade register record to the Ministry"

My advice, contact a lawyer, I can give you a contact if you're interested, PM me.
