				| Does anyone have experience in dealing with them? I got a 4 week summer contract for them working at a camp in Samsun with the option of working at their school in Samsun permanently if all goes well. I asked do I need a work visa or work permit to work this summer job and they said I would be fine on just a tourist visa, this set off alarm bells for me? Is it normal for teachers to work jobs for short periods on tourist visas in Turkey? Is it legal? |  |

				| If you're working you should have a work permit. However, you'd only be working 4 weeks and since it is such a short amount of time your employer won't bother to do all the paperwork and apply. You can take a risk and work the 4 weeks or pass on the job. If you do decide to work for them long term make sure you have a work permit. |  |
