Just to clarify - when you say degree, do you mean a CS degree specifically, or any college degree at all? And for US devs who have gotten work visas in the EU - does this distinction matter for having your work permit approved? I have lots of work experience but I'm self taught with a BA, wonder if that would hold me back.

Any college degree. I started working when I was 14, finished high school when I was 16 and went straight into tech instead of uni.

Supposedly there's an exception where they evaluate experience vs credentials, but in my experience it hasn't been true, or it's used as an excuse not to hire.

Turkiye is not EU and is not Europe in practical sense. Consult an attorney in Turkiye. Never heard of university diploma being a requirement for a work permit. There are hundreds of thousands of refugees in Turkiye which do not have any diplomas. Join a sweatshop (an agency) in upwork: they take care of finding customers in exchange for a portion of your income. DevOps with fluent English is a limited resource. You…

Great suggestions, thanks! > You can always create an LLC in the US and work for it remotely. So your employer pays a contractor (your LLC), LLC pays you dividends. Talk to an accountant in Turkiye, but I doubt there will be any taxation difficulties with the foreign income. You can get an LLC in Turkiye as well, by the way. I do already have an LLC, trying to give it more of a web presence now & add more projects to…

Oh, I meant remote jobs in Dubai. Cannabis is a big no-no there, true, but otherwise it is a cool place!

It is a big surprise to me that TR requires 50% ownership by locals. Unless it is a very new requirement, I think you are misreading it or something. I know quite a few foreigners which had no problems with opening companies in TR, in freezones and outside.

Edit: I just asked, my friend has no idea why you think it is impossible to open a company being a sole founder. It takes just 3 days and it is a straight-forward process. I am genuinely concerned that whoever is advising you there is misleading you.
