IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Turkey has increased the minimum wage, which also impacts salary thresholds for foreign employees.

The monthly minimum salaries required for work permits are as follows:
Analysis & Comments: The new salary minimums show an overall increase compared to 2019 levels. Employers should take into account the new minimums when planning their 2020 budgets, as applications that do not meet the appropriate salaries will be rejected. The new salary levels apply for both local hires and assignees on foreign payroll (with an assignment letter).
