If you are going to be a researcher or intern at KU, your supervisor should contact the Office of Vice President for Research and Development (VPRD) (Ms. Elif Tüysüz, etuysuz@ku.edu.tr) and get an approval. After approval of your research status at KU, your supervisor should inform us about the details of your research stay to start your work permit exemption application process. You can then present the required documents below to us, the ICO.
