Apart from sponsorship from Turkish Based Employers, employees coming to live and work in the Turkey for at least
12 months are mandated to show availability of $3,000USD, which is the stipulated financial requirement/applicant
travel allowance that must be in possession of the applicant/employee into Turkey.
You must be able to demonstrate that you have funds to support yourself and any dependents. For the main applicant
this is $3,000USD and you will need a further $1,500USD for each dependent accompanying you. This is to certify that
you can be responsible for your maintenance as mandated by Turkish Insurance policies to protect and secure
Expatriates financially. This is not a payment but a security deposit to ensure that you can cater for your needs and
support yourself once you arrive here before you receive your first salary from your Employer in line with the Turkish
Expatriate Financial Statutory Law (TEFSL).
Due to the recent happenings On the Covid-19 cases inflow of Refugee and other illegal immigrant to Republic of
Turkey it is mandatory that you make the security deposit as was stated by the immigration department to enable them

Turkish Immigration would ensure via this means that only eligible applicants who are financially capable are allowed
entry into Turkey and must be competent to show availability of funds in cases of Emergency and for full financial
s ecurity of the applicant/worker before receipt of first month salary and benefits from Employers.

Hello All, seems all story are same and it was all coming from this company name, Goztepe Oil Turk which never listed in Wikipedia. Evem they have the portal, the organization team’s names are mostly not listed in LinkedIn.
So, their email is fraud, even with big salary offered, and without Interview????
That is totally weird.
Dear Concerned,
I received an email from BM Holding A.S. regarding an employment offer with a very lucrative offer. Now they directed me to their visa consultant, saying that he shall be responsible to process visa, permits, etc. He has sent me a form and a document with details for visa, following is his email:
“The Paper work permit /visa processing will be done by us here in Turkish Immigration Headquarters in Ankara after which the approval letter will be courier to you before you can visit our embassy consulate in your country for the stamping for your passports with Turkish entry visa.
Also, you are to know that BM Holding A.S will be responsible for your “AIRTICKET FEE, HOUSE ACCOMODATION , AIRPORT ALLOWANCE.”
1. Kindly note that your work permit document will be processed as non-appearance candidate.
2. There is “NO” interview needed from you because, BM Holding A.S has signed your invitation and you have been found qualified for Four(4) years Turkish work Permit endorsement.
3. Once your Work permit is approved, I will send hard copies of the documents to you via your provided address and fax copies to Turkish Embassy in your country.
4. As soon as your visa processing is completed, I will inform you to visit Turkish Embassy along with a hard copy of your international passport for final visa Stamping.
5. Your Work Permit will be Issued in 3-4 working days from the date of application submission.”
In the document he has is asking to deposit USD 3000 in my own name via MoneyGram which will be a security deposit and can be collected on my arrival in Turkey. Kindly advise if its genuine or a scam.
