As I know so far (because i'm gathering as much info as I can) it's difficult.

Best thing you could to is go to the Turkish embassy in your country and ask. For a work permit you would need a declaration by your employer (which you don't have yet) amongst others.

You also could go and work without the permit maybe but I don't know if you would get kicked out of the country if the authorities would find out. I don't know the rules and regulations about this, but Kusadasi-Guy probably does.

so basically there are hardly any jobs going for foreigners...

[**claire**]

basically ..yes!! :shock:

In a way it is good that the country does this, keeps the jobs for its natives, if we did this in the UK, maybe we would not have so much unemployment!!! also the foreign workers who do come here may earn a decent wage, instead of the poor money that they are given. (not in all jobs...but agricultural, factorys etc..)

whewre i live we have a huge Portugese poulation, they all work on the farms, picking the fruit & vegetable, packing it etc... the money they get paid is so low. A british person doing the same job gets paid almost £1 an hour more in some cases (so i have been told) its discusting!!!! :twisted:

Yeah, i totally agree. It definately best for Turkey and Turkish people. It's already a poor country in comparrisant to.. for example.. England.
So it would suck if we went over there and 'stole' the natives jobs.

Yeah that's disgusting. It's like child labour. Errr except for foreigners. :|
Especially because the cost of living in Britain, or England is so bloody high. Everything is expensive.You need a good income to be able to survive here.
