Work Permit for Couriers
We manage the P1 Certificate, Vocational Qualification Certificate (MYK), and Work Permit processes required to work as a foreign courier in Türkiye.
Key Advantages (2026)
What is the 3+ Exemption?
If you have legally resided in Türkiye for at least 3 of the last 5 years, you are exempt from the "5 Turkish employees" and "Financial sufficiency" requirements. This allows you to work as a courier with a sole proprietorship.
P1* Authorization Certificate
The P1* license fee will be higher in 2026, but an 85% discount will be applied for those applying with a maximum of 3 motorcycles.
Legal Working Methods
By starting your own company
(Independent / Company Partner) You will obtain a P1 certificate by establishing a limited company or (if the conditions are appropriate) a sole proprietorship.
