 Posted: Wed May 20, 2015 12:34 pm Post subject: Police station and visa |
 |
|
So far, I have a work authorization (to work for a university) from Ankara.
However, I'm not 100% clear on what's next. I was told to send a friend to pay some fees. They said tax office then told my friend something about going to a police station. I'm not in Turkey at the moment. Do I need to fly in and visit a police station? And what do I need to do at the said police station, if so?
Thank you kindly. I'm just trying to figure out the visa process. |

| You get a slip of paper from YOK (the Higher Education Authority), there is a fee of about TL185. You take this slip to Ziraat Bank and pay...some weeks later, you work permit and residence card is delivered. Hang on to the paper and receipt until this happens. |

It appears I have to pay about 778 TL all told for the residence permit and work permit. That is somewhat hefty by any standard, but it is what it is.
By the way, are privates (private lessons) easy to come by? And what are the laws regarding giving private lessons? In Korea, it's technically illegal, though many do it. In Japan, it's legal, but you have to pay the requisite taxes. |

Here in Istanbul they are plenty of opportunities. Try posting on CraigsList or maybe other online forums to post ads. I know someone who makes 100 TL / hour teaching business English here. Be bold and ask for more. Worst case scenario, it doesn't work out or they ask you to bring it down some until you're satisfied.
As for the legality of the matter, I'm not quite sure. I've been at a school where they tried to say no to private lessons, but because so many teachers complained they backed off and just said that the schools' students couldn't be privately tutored. That was a private school, and private schools want to control your life and view you as their property. On the other hand, public or government schools don't seem to care at all. |
