What we review with you
Five decisions, in the right order

Short-term residence permits (ikamet) for property owners, employment, study, family, or a role in a Turkish company. We confirm the route before you commit to a purchase or a contract.
- 02
Set up the company
Entity type, shareholding, director arrangements, registered address, accounting and payroll obligations, plus incentive regimes such as technology parks and software export relief.
- 03
Tax and reporting
Residency status, treaty application per income type, VAT and payroll registration, and the reporting calendar you will actually have to keep.
- 04
Banking and compliance
Source-of-funds documentation, ownership chain up to the beneficial owner, and secondary sanctions screening before an account application is filed.
- 05
Citizenship, if you need it
Whether the investment route matches your goal at all, and what the contract price, valuation and land registry declaration have to show.
