Can a 16-year-old foreign student legally find a job in Antalya, and where can they look for vacancies?

A foreign teenager should not rely on informal work: the employer needs to confirm that a work permit can be arranged before employment starts. Seasonal tourism jobs are common in Antalya, but they normally require legal registration and language skills.

At age 16, only light and safe work should be considered; night shifts, hazardous work and many hotel or restaurant roles may not be suitable for minors. Ask each employer about its age requirements before applying.

For Antalya vacancies, create profiles on Kariyer.net and LinkedIn and review listings from the public employment service İŞKUR. Search for “Antalya”, “part time”, “stajyer” and “Russian speaking”; Turkish or English will greatly expand the options.
