I'm an Iraqi dentist and live in Turkey . I know that dentists from aboard can't work in Turkey but I was wondering if taking the exam here in Turkey that is called DUS might allow us to work ?
I have heard that even taking the exam is limited to only people from turkish origin .

Any iraqi dentist working in turkey ?

i think you are not allowed to take this exam anyway.

yes, foreigners can apply it:
to be graduated from a dentistry faculty in turkey, or abroad but with notary approved equivalence certificate issued by YÖK.

and also turkish language knowledge is necessary (another exam)
