New Design of Work Permit Documents

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the letter forwarded to our Union by the Ministry of Trade states that work has been completed to increase the security level of work permit documents and their level of protection against counterfeiting, and to apply to work permit documents security technologies similar to the current ones used in high-security documents.
In this framework, it is stated that the printing, personalisation and distribution of the newly designed permit documents began as of March 2026, and that, as in the current practice, verification of work permit cards can be carried out via the QR code on the card or through the "Foreigners' Work Permit, Work Permit Exemption and Turquoise Card Information Inquiry System" at https://izinsorgula.csgb.gov.tr.
The letter further states that work permits issued previously whose validity period has not expired will continue to be used during that period.

Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry
