Invest in Türkiye’s current guide states that Türkiye’s foreign-direct-investment framework is based on equal treatment and that international investors may establish company forms provided under the Turkish Commercial Code.

MERSIS and the relevant Trade Registry Directorate are used in establishment procedures. Documents issued abroad for foreign individual or corporate shareholders may require notarization, apostille/consular certification and official translation depending on the case.

Company form, capital, tax and employment structure still require professional assessment for the specific investment.
