Who needs a permit
Work authorization is about foreign nationals — not Turkish citizens hired through EOR.
Services
Work permits in Turkey
Work authorization support for foreign nationals employed in Turkey. The EOR can act as the local employer in the process; timelines are case-specific.

Authorization path
Foreign nationals usually need work authorization. Turkish citizens on EOR do not.

When a work permit matters
A Turkish national employed through EOR does not need a work permit. A foreign national usually does. Work authorization is a separate track from the employment contract and payroll setup.
EOR role
Gini Talent’s EOR service can support visa and work-permit processes as the local employer where the case fits. Your company still owns role definition, candidate readiness and realistic timing. CSGB and related authorities set the formal requirements.
What this page does not promise

Questions companies ask
Do Turkish nationals need a work permit when hired through EOR?
No. Work authorization is about foreign nationals. A Turkish citizen employed through EOR follows the standard employment and SGK path without a work permit.
Can an EOR support work-permit applications?
Yes, where the case fits: the EOR can act as the local employer in the authorization process. Your company still defines the role and realistic timing. Authorities set formal requirements; this site does not promise a fixed decision date.
Can employment start before a work permit is granted?
When the law requires authorization before work starts, employment cannot be treated as “already cleared” on a marketing page. Share nationality, role and timing in the proposal request so fit can be reviewed.
