The consular work permit and work visa requires a local employment contract.
It may also be possible to change status from business visitor to work permit holder post arrival, but work is not permitted until the work permit process is complete, which may take several months.
An assembly, maintenance and service (AMS) visa permit the installation, maintenance or repair of machines, equipment, computer programmes, or other technical systems for up to 90 days. The applicant must remain on foreign payroll and contract and be assigned to fulfil contractual obligations to a Turkish client company.
