With a complete file, a work permit application is usually concluded in anything from a few weeks to a few months. No exact figure is possible, because the time depends on the type of application, the position the foreign national will hold and the workload of the unit handling it.

The single biggest cause of delay is a later request for missing documents, which is why preparing the file completely and consistently from the start is what really matters. The application is assessed by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security under the International Labour Force Law (No. 6735); if it succeeds, the work permit also serves in place of a residence permit. Where there is a refusal or a deficiency, the periods for challenging it are short and must not be missed. We work the calendar backwards from your intended start date, file at the right moment, and aim to remove the missing-document risk before it arises.
