Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| India to Türkiye work visa and employer permit — New Delhi jurisdiction: Choose the competent India mission and Gateway intake | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. This branch is for a New Delhi-jurisdiction resident. The Embassy directs visa files through Gateway rather than direct email submission; arrange the current VAC appointment and confirm the centre and intake method. Applicants resident in Mumbai or Hyderabad consular jurisdictions must use their assigned mission and check its current instructions instead of treating New Delhi details as universal. |
| India to Türkiye work visa and employer permit — New Delhi jurisdiction: Signed work-visa application and photographs | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Complete the Embassy-linked application accurately in block capitals with blue or black ink and sign it. The published New Delhi list calls for one photo affixed to the form and two biometric 2.5×2.5-inch white-background photographs taken within six months. Check current VAC handling before printing or attaching; do not use a tourism eVisa as a work route. |
| India to Türkiye work visa and employer permit — New Delhi jurisdiction: Ordinary Indian passport and first/last-page copies | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The New Delhi work list asks for a passport issued less than ten years ago, valid at least one year for Indian nationals and beyond the intended Turkish stay, with two full blank pages. Include copies of its first and last pages. The passport should also satisfy any current mission validity instruction at the actual filing date. |
| India to Türkiye work visa and employer permit — New Delhi jurisdiction: Actual Turkish employer agreement in English and Turkish | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide the employment agreement with the Turkish company in both English and Turkish, showing the real workplace address. The labour ministry requires a contract signed by both employer and worker for its electronic work-permit file. Verify names, job, dates and pay against the employer upload; a recruitment promise is not the signed agreement. |
| India to Türkiye work visa and employer permit — New Delhi jurisdiction: Original police clearance certificate | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The published New Delhi work-visa list expressly requires the original police clearance certificate. Obtain the applicant’s genuine applicable PCC and check its current acceptance period, translation and authentication with Gateway. This source does not establish a universal PCC apostille or a fixed validity period. |
| India to Türkiye work visa and employer permit — New Delhi jurisdiction: Employer company records and supporting invitation if needed | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The New Delhi list labels the Turkish Trade Registry Gazette, company invitation naming the applicant and passport number, Chamber of Commerce certificate, notarised company signature circular, previous-employer relieving letter and educational certificate copies as optional. Match these to the actual employer and any individual VAC request; do not present all as universally mandatory. |
| India to Türkiye work visa and employer permit — New Delhi jurisdiction: Give the 16-digit consular reference to the employer promptly | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. After the India VAC submits the initial application, the mission issues a 16-digit reference number. Retrieve it and send it to the named Turkish employer immediately. The New Delhi sequence says the employer must continue the work-permit application within ten working days or the reference expires and a fresh VAC application may be needed. |
| India to Türkiye work visa and employer permit — New Delhi jurisdiction: Employer completes the labour ministry e-İzin file | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The Turkish employer uses the reference in the ministry e-İzin system to upload the signed contract and relevant passport copy, company records and any job-specific qualifications. A diploma and certified Turkish translation are mandatory for vocational services or other jobs the ministry specifies, not every ordinary role. A non-Latin-script passport needs the specified certified translation; an ordinary Latin-letter Indian passport does not need one merely by nationality. |
| India to Türkiye work visa and employer permit — New Delhi jurisdiction: Wait for permit decision and pay only on official notice | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. A complete ministry work-permit application is normally evaluated within 30 days, counted from complete submission or later requested material. Approval is not guaranteed. If approved, follow the actual ministry and mission notices for work-permit, valuable-paper, residence and entry-visa charges; the older India Embassy note and current ministry FAQ assign payment differently, so this guide does not specify who ultimately bears each cost. The ministry says notified permit and valuable-paper fees must be paid within 30 days or the application is rejected. |
| India to Türkiye work visa and employer permit — New Delhi jurisdiction: Collect the work-visa sticker before travel or work | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. After the employer receives final clearance, the New Delhi procedure tells the worker to return the passport and ministry confirmation through Gateway for the work-visa sticker and applicable consular payment. Do not travel for employment on an eVisa, a reference number or an unapproved permit request. The ministry says the permit card is sent to the employer and the foreign worker must register the Turkish address within 20 days of entry. |
| India to Turkey study document checklist: Signed application | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Block letters; black/blue ink. |
| India to Turkey study document checklist: Passport and page copies | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Six-month validity; two blanks. |

New Delhi Embassy work-visa sequence/document list remains linked from its consular index; current Turkish Labour Ministry FAQ and permit-document guidance checked. India Embassy instructions are older, so fee-payer claims are deliberately omitted where they conflict with current ministry payment guidance. Current VAC appointment, document certification and exact payments are confirmed per case.

The official Türkiye e-Visa portal says e-Visas are for tourism or trade purposes, eligibility must be checked by travel-document nationality, and the passport must remain valid at least 60 days beyond the permitted stay; India-specific embassy guidance says Indian passport holders need an e-visa or sticker visa.
