Thinking about working abroad in 2025? Well, look no further, Turkey is offering a Prime opportunity right now for skilled workers in the field of electricity. If you are an expert in working with electric appliances and all fields related to electricity, then you can apply for this Employer-Sponsored visa.

Turkey has become an attractive destination for skilled workers due to increasing industrial demand worldwide. And if you are looking forward to working legally, the Employer-Sponsored Work Visa is your prime opportunity.

Let’s be honest — this sounds easy, but the visa process can feel like a maze. So, we at ‘Mirpur Visa Consultant’ have made this step-by-step guide for you to understand everything clearly.

Why should you get a visa for Turkey?

Getting a visa for Turkey is a fundamental step to ensure a legal and enjoyable trip, opening the door to a country brimming with history, culture, and natural wonders. Always check the latest visa requirements for your specific nationality and purpose of travel on the official Turkish government websites or reputable visa service providers before planning your trip.

What is this Employer-Sponsored Work Visa in Turkey?

A standard Employer-Sponsored Work Visa in Turkey is exactly what it sounds like: A legal work permit granted to foreign skilled workers by a registered Turkish Employer. Unlike other visas, this one directly links you to your employer. It is basically designed for skilled workers in the field of electricity to work under a contract.

Why choose this Visa?

 Turkey is under rapid growth right now. Residential and commercial construction, along with the need for energy-efficient systems, smart city projects, and industrial maintenance, is at an all-time high.

And guess what? Turkish companies are facing a shortage of Skilled Electricians, especially those with practical experience, certifications, and a deep understanding of the field.It’s authentic, long-term, and opens doors:

• Residency permits
• You get social security.
• Family sponsorship opportunities and other accommodation.

Eligibility Criteria:

Not everyone is qualified for this part, so make sure you are:

• Valid job offer letter from a registered company (in Turkey)
• You have valid experience as an electrician, with at least 1–3 years in the field.
• You have a relevant diploma or equivalent.
• You meet all the requirements for the job.
• Your employer can justify why he is hiring you instead of a local.
• Your passport is valid for at least 6 months.

The Employer will meet the following requirements:

• The company’s employer must be legally registered
• Should not have exceeded the foreign employee quota.
• Must offer an authentic, signed work contract with a salary meeting the minimum wage standards

Step-by-Step process to get your work visa as an Electrician:

Step 1: Secure a Job Offer from a registered employer in a Turkish Company

This is the first and most important step. Without a job offer, you’re not eligible to apply for the visa.

How can you find jobs in Turkey?

• Construction companies
• Electrical contracting firms
• Industrial facility maintenance companies
• Online portals like Kariyer.net, Eleman.net, LinkedIn
• Direct recruitment through a visa consultant (like us)

This is where we at Mirpur Visa Consultant step in — we help you secure an authentic job as a certified electrician.

Step 2: Employer Applies for a Work Permit in Turkey

Once you sign the job contract and documents, your employer will apply to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in Turkey.

They’ll provide:

• Your job contract
• Company registration documents
• A written explanation for why they are hiring a foreign tradesperson

Step 3: You Apply at the Turkish Embassy in Your Home Country

While your employer handles the process in Turkey, you’ll apply at the Turkish Embassy or Consulate in your home country (Pakistan).

You’ll need:

• Your signed job contract
• Completed work visa application form
• Valid passport
• Passport-sized photos
• Electrical certificate or diploma (translated + attested)
• Visa fee receipt

As your consultant, we’ll help you prepare everything professionally, no guesswork, no stress.

Step 4: Receive Your Work Visa and Travel to Turkey

Once the Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves your application, you’ll receive a work visa sticker in your passport. You’re now authorized to travel to Turkey and begin working as an electrician.

Step 5: Apply for a Residence Permit in Turkey

Within 30 days of arriving in Turkey, you must apply for a residence permit.

Required documents:

• Turkish address (rental or company-provided accommodation)
• Work contract
• Health insurance
• Tax number
• Application form with biometric photos

We handle residence permit applications for many workers, so we’ll guide you through the full paperwork and appointment process.

Register with Pakistan’s Protector of Emigrants

Before traveling to Turkey, you must complete Protector registration, which is legally required for all Pakistani overseas workers.

 Note: Without this stamp, you will not be allowed to leave Pakistan for employment.

The common question we get asked Can I Bring My Family to Turkey?

Yes! After your residence permit is issued, you can apply for family reunification for:

• Your spouse
• Children under 18

They can stay legally with you, attend school, and access health coverage. Obviously, we’ll guide you through that process if you are interested.
