For producers who want to shoot a TV series in Cappadocia, Nuri Çorbacıoğlu resolves various permissions and licensing processes. 

Cappadocia series shooting permits ensure that the shootings take place in a legal and orderly manner. 

First, in order to film in the natural and historical areas of Cappadocia, the necessary permits must be obtained from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

This reduces labour costs for producers and encourages them to hire more staff.
