Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about our company formation, banking, and consulting services.
Turkey
▼
Yes. Non-resident/foreign-owned companies can open corporate bank accounts in Türkiye, subject to KYC/compliance checks. Banks typically require a valid passport and a Turkish tax identification number (or provisional tax number) as part of onboarding.
Once the company is incorporated and documents are complete, account opening can be finalised quickly in practice. However, timelines vary by bank, branch workload, and the completeness/translation/apostille status of your documents (and whether any additional compliance reviews are triggered)
Commonly required documents include:
Company registration / trade registry documents (e.g., Ticaret Sicil Gazetesi)
Tax registration certificate (Vergi Levhası / tax number)
Signature circular (İmza Sirküleri)
Articles of association (Ana Sözleşme)
Board resolution authorizing account opening and signatories
Banks also require the documents to be current and properly translated/ legalized (apostille/notary requirements depend on origin).

Banks also require the documents to be current and properly translated/ legalized (apostille/notary requirements depend on origin).
This depends on the bank and the account type:
Some processes allow remote opening via a properly drafted Power of Attorney (POA) that explicitly grants banking authority.
Many banks still prefer or require in-person presence for corporate accounts and signatures, so plan on a branch visit unless your bank confirms otherwise

Yes—obtaining a tax identification number (often a provisional tax number for foreign persons) is commonly a prerequisite before banks will proceed with onboarding. Our team will assist obtaining this.
Pre-assessment checks your ownership structure, transaction flow, and document readiness before applying. This reduces rejection risk and avoids delays caused by missing translations/apostilles or weak compliance positioning.
We can adjust the approach (structure, documentation, presentation), then pivot to another bank/branch or (where appropriate) an alternative EMI/payment institution, depending on your industry and transaction plan.
Some banks (especially for non-residents) may ask for a temporary minimum deposit/block depending on risk and profile. This is not universal—pre-assessment helps you know what to expect before you apply.
Yes. Foreign investors can generally own 100% of the shares. The main requirement is providing properly translated/notarized identity/company documents (depending on whether the shareholder is an individual or a legal entity)
Typical items include:
Notarized + translated passport copies for foreign individual shareholders
Tax identification numbers obtained from the tax office
Incorporation package (articles of association, registered address, etc.)
Additional legalized/certified documents for foreign corporate shareholders (if any)
(Exact list depends on your entity type and shareholder profile.)
Notarized + translated passport copies for foreign individual shareholders
Tax identification numbers obtained from the tax office
Incorporation package (articles of association, registered address, etc.)
Additional legalized/certified documents for foreign corporate shareholders (if any)
(Exact list depends on your entity type and shareholder profile.)
In straightforward cases, incorporation can be fast once documents and signatures are completed (often within days). If you are physically in Türkiye, notarization and registry submission can shorten the timeline; remote execution (via PoA) is possible but may add steps and timing depending on logistics and legalization requirements.
Not always. Many investors proceed via a Power of Attorney (PoA) and properly legalized translations; however, physical presence can simplify notarization and signing. Your jurisdiction of residence and document issuing country can change whether apostille/legalization is needed.
Turkey’s standard corporate income tax rate is 25%, while certain financial sector companies are taxed at 30%
CIT returns are due by the 30th day of the fourth month after fiscal year end (for calendar-year taxpayers, typically 30 April)
VAT applies at multiple rates; the general (standard) rate is 20% (with reduced rates for certain categories).
Yes—tax IDs are generally required for foreign individual partners and are part of the standard document pack for establishing a company in Türkiye.
You must maintain statutory books/records and keep supporting documents for expenses, invoices, payroll, etc. We recommend establishing accounting workflows early (even pre-revenue) to stay compliant and avoid issues during bank onboarding and tax filings.
