Brokers use Turkey as a route for illegal crossings into Europe. Go only with a work visa and a Ministry-approved permit.

  • Verify the agency's RL licence with BMET
  • Employer: Ticaret Sicili (trade registry, Ministry of Trade)
  • The visa is a “work visa” — not a tourist visa or e-visa
  • Saw the work-permit approval myself after arrival; keeping my own passport
  • No payment without a receipt and written contract
