In most cases eligible full-time students can work part-time during studies and full-time during scheduled breaks. The exact rules and hour limits are set by Turkey and change periodically, so we confirm the current allowance for your situation.

Can I stay and work in Turkey after I graduate?

Many graduates of eligible institutions can apply for a post-study work permit, which builds local work experience and, for some, a path toward residence. Eligibility depends on your program and school, which we check before you enroll.
