After graduating from Turkey, international students can apply for a short-term residence permit to seek employment. This permit allows graduates to stay for up to one year while job hunting. Applicants must apply within six months of graduation and show proof of financial means.
Once employed, graduates can transition to a work residence permit. Turkey also offers a Turquoise Card, similar to a Green Card, for highly skilled workers. Requirements include a job offer and meeting specific criteria. Always check with the Directorate General of Migration Management for updates, as policies may change.
