Arabs and Turkey

Many, successive and complex changes have been raging in the Arab world in recent years, beginning with what was termed the Arab Spring, followed by violent political reversals and coups that shook the region and made it unstable for many Arab citizens.

As a result of these crises, large numbers of Arabs have resorted to Turkey, seeking security and safety and in search of a stable place to work.

Although Turkey has received millions of Syrian refugees and embraced them on its lands, it has also opened its arms to Arab businessmen and wealthy people to bring their wealth and money and invest it in Turkey. The Turkish parliament moved quickly, as it legislated a draft law for foreigners' work in order to benefit from the foreign labor, and observers considered that it came in response to the demand of civil society in order to attract the talents that were forced to leave their countries.

The Turkish government encourages Arab and foreign investors to set up companies in Turkey, set up factories, own property and set up projects, and even the right to obtain citizenship. The Turkish government issued a new law on September 19, 2018, regarding real estate ownership for foreigners, where the new law stipulated allowing foreigners to obtain Turkish citizenship in exchange for their entry into real estate investments in Turkey with a minimum of 250.000 US dollars, while before the amount was one million US dollars . Ankara encourages investment in the real estate sector, after it attracted several companies from the Arab Gulf countries, and provided in parallel advantages and facilities for those who invest or buy homes in Turkey, after the real estate market witnessed significant growth, especially after the change of the property law for foreigners in 2012, which allowed them to own property.

The Turkish government will grant Turkish citizenship to foreigners in the following cases:

For people who bought a property worth 250 thousand dollars on the condition that they do not sell it for three years
For people who invest half a million dollars
For people who have bank deposits of at least half a million dollars, provided that they remain in the bank for 3 years
For people who buy borrowing bonds from the state on the condition that they are not sold for three years

The new labor law in Turkey..opportunities and privileges to attract talent

The new labor law prohibits citizens of other countries from working in Turkey without obtaining a work permit. The law gives the Turkish Ministry of Labor and Social Security the right to form a special system for receiving foreign labor requests, evaluating them, and studying their impact in the country; It also enables foreigners to submit their applications to work in Turkey directly to the relevant ministry, or Turkish embassies and consulates.

To work in the fields of health and education in Turkey, the applicant is required to obtain a preliminary permission granted by the Ministries of Health and Education; By conducting preliminary tests for the applicant, according to the new law, the law also grants facilities to highly qualified foreigners coming to Turkey for scientific, cultural, artistic and sports purposes, and citizens of European Union countries, in addition to foreigners of Turkish origin, and citizens of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

Among the important privileges that distinguish the new law, the Turkish Ministry of Labor provides foreigners with the “turquoise card”, which grants its holder the right to temporary residence for a period of three years with their families, and later permanent residence, and depends on a special evaluation system, and scoring points in terms of educational qualifications, experience, and the size of the investment for business men.

In view of the large number of foreigners wishing to obtain work permits, Turkey approved the new system, and says that it comes in response to this demand, after scrutinizing and reviewing labor laws in Germany, France, Italy, and many developed and developing countries, according to observers. The new law is an advanced step, aimed at filling loopholes, reducing bureaucracy associated with obtaining work permits for foreigners, a series of official reviews, and conflicting laws between ministries and local governments. And 80,000 people from 165 countries applied for work permits last year alone, according to official statistics.

At the present time, work permits in Turkey are granted by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, along with the Ministry of Economy, Youth and Sports, Higher Education, and the State Opera and Ballet House. .

Since the law grants foreign investors, scientists, artists, athletes, and qualified persons facilities to obtain the “turquoise card”, the card holder, through the period of temporary residence for three years, and then permanent residence, can apply for Turkish citizenship if he meets the conditions provided for She has citizenship law.

This new system is expected to attract more foreign investors towards Turkey and increase the volume of internal investment, serving the economy, creating new job opportunities, and contributing to achieving Turkey's strategic goals, as athletes, artists, scientists, experts and rare talents get, And the distinguished, at the global level in the fields of arts, culture, and sciences, coming to Turkey, on the turquoise card, exceptionally.
