No TRNC statutory provision exempts owner-directors from the work-permit/İş Kurma İzni apparatus as such; the sole blanket exemption in the Foreigners' Work Permits Law is for holders of a Daimi İkamet İzni (Permanent Residence Permit, Law 51/2015), an independently obtained status unrelated to company ownership.
