Checking work permit status in Turkey is actually not that difficult and can be easily done by anyone. Here is what information you need to check the foreign work permit and how to do it step by step;
Unfortunately, after obtaining a foreign work permit, employers can cancel the permit without the knowledge of foreigners. Because it is under the authority and initiative of the employer.
The foreign work permit application can be made with the e-signature of the employer or the e-signature of a representative authorized by the employer when the foreigner is not a partner of the company. Therefore cancellation can be done only by uploading a single letter to the system and signing it electronically by e-signature.
So how can we check whether the work permit has been revoked by the employer? What information is required to check and question work permit? First of all, you need to have a work permit card or at least it will be sufficient to have a foreign identity number and a permit document number.
Then all you need to do is go to https://izinsorgula.ailevecalisma.gov.tr/#/app/giris and fill in the required lines. Unfortunately the page is only in Turkish, has no multilanguage support. So you might need web browser’s translation service or a dictionary.
You can query the work permit by selecting the foreign work permit option from the application type and typing the ID and document number. In this way, you can see if the permit continues, if it has been canceled, and if it was canceled, on which date it was canceled.
