Turkish Worker visa

Skip contents

Documents you’ll need to apply

When you apply to extend your visa you’ll need to provide:

  • a valid passport or other document that shows your identity and nationality
  • proof of all your employment during your current stay in the UK, including payslips and bank statements for the whole period you’ve worked here

To prove you have a valid Turkish Worker visa, you’ll also need to provide either:

  • online proof of your immigration status (an eVisa) - you’ll need to get a share code
  • your biometric residence permit (BRP) - you can use it for 24 months after the expiry date printed on your card or until 31 December 2026, whichever comes first

You’ll need to have a blank page in your passport on which to put the visa.

If you’re an au pair, you can provide a letter from your host family if you do not have payslips and bank statements.

Your job

You should also provide evidence that shows you have been legally employed in the UK with the same employer for at least 3 years, and you’re planning to:

  • carry on doing the same type of job, if you’ve been legally employed for between 3 and 4 years
  • work for any employer doing any job, if you’ve been legally employed for 4 years or longer

Evidence can include things like a letter from your current or prospective employer, or a current job application letter.
