Oh, and a couple PS's.....
When applying for a RP/WP locally, once your paperwork is accepted you are legal to stay in Turkey, even though you don't yet have your BB in-hand. It could take 1-4 weeks to get the book itself. Alhough not technically a visa, it will still allow you to enter and leave the country.
It will take another 4-6 months to get the formal permit to work.
Most people get their job and start work on their 90-day (within 180 days) tourist visa (if from the US/UK/other Tier I countries). Of course, working on the TV is also illegal. |

PSS...
The expat website I referred to sometimes is hard to find stuff in. Here is a separate link for the Residence Permit process. Again, subject to change in April and varying by province.

In-country you start off at your local yabangı polis office, where there'll be some variation of RP issued until your WP comes through. |

I got you. Most people come on a tourist visa. They work (though they're not supposed to *wink*) until their work permit and residence permit come through. I'm familiar with what you're talking about because we used to do that over here in South Korea several years ago. I imagine you sign a contract before you come, though. Anyway, I'll keep scanning the forums and see what changes are afoot
Thanks again. |

| Good Luck. And the contract thing as is you expect. But remember, with a contract to hold up a bank, or do anything else illegal, you'll have little recourse in court: you simply have a written agreement to avoid "misunderstandings". |
