Working on Family Residence Permit

[Timmy 0]

Hallo everyone,

I am married with a turkish woman and i have at the moment a short time permit. We are figuring out things at the moment and i looking at options.

I could change my status to Family Residence Permit, but since my wife has no income can she proof insufficient income?

Do i get a working permit same time?

Thank you very much

but since my wife has no income can she proof insufficient income?

I assume you're asking if your wife can qualify as a sponsor for you if she has no income. The answer is no. Why would you want to change to a family residence permit if you already have a short-term residence permit, and you wife is a Turkish citizen?

 

Do i get a working permit same time?

No. To get a work permit, you have to have a job offer first. And the job you are filling must be a job that an unemployed Turk is unable to do, so finding a job will be difficult. And if you're already in Turkey, you can't even apply for a work permit until you've been in the country for at least six months. You can learn more about work permits here:

Thanks for the answer Ken.

It would have only been a possibility if i would get some benefits out of it.
