What is turkish blue card?

The Turkish Blue Card is a residence permit designed for highly-skilled professionals who wish to work and live in Turkey. It allows the cardholder to work in any field and for any employer in Turkey for a period of up to four years, as well as allowing their family to join them in Turkey.

To be eligible for a Turkish Blue Card, applicants must have at least a bachelor's degree or equivalent, and a job offer from a Turkish employer with an annual salary of at least three times the gross minimum wage in Turkey. They must also provide proof of their qualifications and experience.

The Turkish Blue Card is intended to attract talented workers to Turkey and encourage them to contribute to the country's economy. It is part of a wider effort by the Turkish government to modernize the country's labor market and attract investment from abroad.

Since its introduction in 2016, the Turkish Blue Card scheme has been gradually expanding, with the number of cards issued increasing each year. It is seen as an attractive option for foreign workers seeking to work and live in a dynamic and growing economy.
