Hiring Pakistani Workers in Kayseri, Bursa & Izmir

Demand is not “Turkey.” It is specific OSBs and trades. If you run a plant in one of these cities, this is the short map.

Published 2026-09-20 · Lahore · Renaissance Recruitment Inc. · BEOE-licensed OEP

Bursa and İzmir — textiles

Machine operators, sewing, weaving, quality. Gulf-experienced Pakistani stitchers adapt fast to shift work. This is still the highest-volume corridor RRI runs into Türkiye.

Kayseri OSB — furniture, metal, textile, agricultural machinery

Local reporting through mid-2026 pointed to thousands of Pakistani permit applications originating from Kayseri employers after Syrian labour tightened. We keep a dedicated page: Kayseri Pakistani işçi tedariki.

İstanbul and Gaziantep

Production lines, warehouse, forklift, LTV/HTV. Ratio pressure is real; send the SGK picture early.

Antalya

Kitchen, housekeeping, stewards for the hotel belt. Seasonal peaks need the file opened before summer, not in June.

Same licence, same zero sourcing fee, different city paperwork. Name the city in the first WhatsApp. RRI is BEOE-licensed OEP in Lahore.

Next steps

Turning this into a hire in Türkiye.

  1. Day 1: a written feasibility answer to your demand.
  2. Working days 5 to 10: a trade-tested shortlist with each candidate's result.
  3. Interviews: you approve the people you want; nobody else goes forward.
  4. Permits and documents: You file the work permit through e-Devlet (Ministry of Labour and Social Security). Each candidate is filed against a 16-digit government reference code with a fixed 30-day employer registration deadline, and the 5-to-1 rule on Turkish to foreign staff applies.
  5. Departure: pre-departure orientation, travel coordination and support after arrival.
Cost and paperwork

What you pay and what you send.

RRI does not bill employers for sourcing, screening, trade testing or document processing. You cover the statutory items on your side, such as work-permit fee (harç), and the contract package. Flights are agreed case by case for each project. Candidates pay only the placement fee that BEOE regulation allows.

Your side of the paperwork is short: a demand letter, a power of attorney, the employment contract and the permit papers required by the destination country.
