  "summary": "Türkiye has introduced a list of 29 professions that foreign nationals are legally barred from practicing, encompassing healthcare, legal, education, private security, finance, tourism, transport, and maritime services. The restrictions are backed by national laws and regulations, regardless of the foreign professional's qualifications or experience. The Turkish government clarified that these prohibitions are legal restrictions rather than temporary administrative decisions. The announcement provides foreign nationals with a clearer understanding of occupations they are legally permitted to pursue in Türkiye.",
