The document intends to be a compilation of the information collected by all partners in the national reports in order to have an overview of the state of art of social entrepreneurship in the participating countries.

Constraints and problems found

  • Constraints originating from travel related regulations: The limited permission to migrants for both domestic and international travel,causes several problems for Syrian employers and entrepreneurs, such as not being able to travel out of the Turkish borders and even within the borders and not being able to bring customers from other countries because of visa problems. They found the solution as extending visa period and similarly to extend the working permit period in parallel to duration of stay, instead of applying and getting a visa every year.

  • Problems with the implementation of legislation: Another challenge for Syrian employers and entrepreneurs is the differences in the implementation of legal regulations in Turkey. The limited knowledge of the legislative arrangements and the limited services of the institutions that guide migrant entrepreneurs are causing difficulties.
