LIST OF REQUIRMENTS

1. Employment Contract (Signed by foreigner & employer)

Apart from sponsorship from Turkish Based Employers, employees coming to live and work in the Turkey for at least 12
months are mandated to show availability of $3,000USD, which is the stipulated financial requirement/applicant travel
allowance that must be in possession of the applicant/employee into Turkey.

You must be able to demonstrate that you have funds to support yourself and any dependents. For the main applicant this
is $3,000USD and you will need a further $1,000USD for each dependent accompanying you. This is to certify that you can
be responsible for your maintenance as mandated by Turkish Insurance policies to protect and secure Expatriates
financially. This is not a payment but a security deposit to ensure that you can cater for your needs and support yourself
once you arrive here before you receive your first salary from your Employer in line with the Turkish Expatriate Financial
Statutory Law (TEFSL).

Turkish Immigration would ensure via this means that only eligible applicants who are financially capable are allowed
entry into Turkey and must be competent to show availability of funds in cases of Emergency and for full financial security
of the applicant/worker before receipt of first month salary and benefits from Employers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ);

WHY DO WE USE MONEYGRAM INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER INSTEAD OF BANK STATEMENTS, DRAFTS OR CHEQUES?

Before now, the Turkish Immigration accepted Bank statements, Drafts and Cheques as methods of submission of
security deposits. Unfortunately, a lot of Visa applicants from Asia, Africa and some parts of Europe abused the method.
These Applicants submitted copies of falsified documents, bank statements and dud cheques.

Over the years, we have been saddled with the challenges of identifying these fraudulent Visa applicants and in a swift bid
to curb their operations; we are in alliance with the Metropolitan police and Interpol. These dramatic situations prompted
the Turkish Immigration to revise the standard of operations hence, the annulment of the acceptance of Bank
Statements, Drafts or Cheques and adoption of the MONEYGRAM INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER as the ONLY method of
submission of security deposits for all International Visa applicants.

WHY CAN'T EMPLOYERS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SECURITY DEPOSIT?

Your Visa fees, Residence/ Work Permit fees and Flight ticket are shouldered by your Employer. As much as
Employees are mandated to submit the security deposit of $3,000USD to show proofs of sufficient funds for their Basic
Travel Allowance (BTA), Employers are as well mandated to submit a security deposit of $6,000USD to show that they have
sufficient funds to sponsor your stay in Turkey.

Therefore, it is a criminal offence and violation of Turkish Immigration Acts of 2014 should any Employer be responsible
for security deposit required by the Employee. Any Employer who flaunts this law in any way will be penalized.

IS THIS SECURITY DEPOSIT REFUNDABLE OR JUST A ONE TIME PAYMENT?

The Security deposit of $3,000USD is not a payment, it is only a deposit required for verification and subject to retrieval
upon arrival to Turkey.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE THE VISA APPLICATION TO BE PROCESSED & APPROVED AFTER THE SUBMISSION OF THE
VISA REQUIREMENTS?

It takes approximately 3 to 4 working days for processing and approval of Visa applications. Hard copies of the approved
visa documents will be dispatched via DHL Courier to applicant's mailing address stated in the Visa application form.

WHEN DO I VISIT THE TURKISH EMBASSY IN MY COUNTRY OF LOCATION FOR MY VISA STAMP?

of location and Fax copies to the Turkish Embassy in your country of location for their review and acceptance.
