BEFORE WE TALK
HSM and Turkish citizens: key distinctions
Separate employment, recognised sponsorship, income criteria and MVV requirements.
Read the related guideIs a recognised sponsor mandatory for Turkish citizens?
IND states that Turkish HSM employees do not require a recognised sponsor and may apply themselves. Genuine employment and the other conditions remain necessary; applying through a recognised sponsor can affect processing time.
Can I start without a job offer?
You can research and prepare, but an HSM application relies on qualifying employment. This service is not a job-placement or unconditional residence guarantee.
Is the HSM salary threshold the same for everyone?
No. Age, application type and reduced-criterion conditions matter. IND publishes the current annual thresholds. Distinguish the total package from the monthly salary components that qualify.
Does the sponsor exception also mean an MVV exemption?
No. These are separate assessments. MVV requirements and exemptions depend on nationality and your circumstances.
