It is crucial for foreigners applying for a work permit to provide all the required information and documents accurately and completely during the application process to ensure a positive outcome. According to Article 7 of the International Labor Law No. 6735, if there are missing information or documents in the application, the evaluation of the application will be postponed until these deficiencies are rectified.
The postponement period cannot exceed thirty days except in cases where the completion of missing information or documents is delayed due to a force majeure, which must be documented by an official authority. Applications that have not remedied their deficiencies by the end of the postponement period will be rejected.
The evaluation process for work permit applications that are properly submitted, assuming all information and documents are complete, will be concluded within thirty days.
Foreigners whose work permit applications are rejected due to missing information or documents are not barred from reapplying for a work permit once the deficiencies are addressed. The rejection of a work permit application does not prevent a new application from being made; it is possible to reapply.
Furthermore, it is possible to appeal against the rejection of a work permit application. For detailed information on this subject, you can refer to our article titled “Appealing Against the Rejection of Work Permit Application“.
