Not wishing to offend you Starman but this is the informatin found on the internet
'Do you want a Turkish work visa to work or study in Turkey?
You must apply, at least a month before you plan to arrive in Turkey, to the nearest Turkish diplomatic mission to obtain a work permit and visa.
You'll need your passport, a visa application form, and a letter from your employer in Turkey. (You can get a U.S. Passport Fast. More...)
Your employer should submit other documents to Turkey's Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MLSS) within three working days after you apply for your work permit and visa. Applications are finalised by the MLSS within ninety days at the latest.
Before starting to work, and within one month after your arrival in Turkey, you must register with the police near where you plan to live in Turkey to obtain the necessary residence permit.'
If you notice, it says you must apply for a Residents Permit.
