FAQ

Frequently Asked Legal Questions

No β€” the majority of our legal work can be completed remotely. With a notarised power of attorney, our lawyers can act on your behalf in Turkey for citizenship applications, property purchases, company establishment, and most other legal matters. Many of our clients complete the entire process without visiting Turkey at all.
The official process takes between 3 and 6 months from the date all documents are submitted. The timeline depends on how quickly the property purchase is completed, the efficiency of the valuation and bank transfer documentation, and government processing volumes. Our team actively tracks every case and follows up with authorities to minimise delays.
Most Turkish banks require in-person presence to open an account. However, with the correct documentation and planning, we can accompany you on a single visit to complete everything in one day β€” bank account opening, notary appointments, and other formalities. We coordinate your visit to be as efficient as possible.
Turkish law provides specific remedies for delayed delivery β€” including compensation claims, contract termination with refund, and enforcement proceedings. Our legal team reviews your purchase contract, assesses the delay, and advises on the strongest course of action. We have experience handling disputes with both large and small developers across Istanbul.
The cost varies depending on the company structure chosen. A limited liability company (LLC / Limited Şirketi) is the most common choice for foreign investors and typically requires a minimum share capital of TRY 10,000. Our legal fees for full company establishment β€” including all government registrations β€” are fixed and communicated upfront during your initial consultation.
Residency (ikamet) gives you the right to live in Turkey and must be renewed periodically β€” it does not give you a Turkish passport or full citizenship rights. Citizenship gives you a Turkish passport, the right to vote, and full legal status as a Turkish national. Property ownership qualifies you for a short-term residency permit. To obtain citizenship, your investment must meet the $400,000 threshold and additional conditions must be satisfied.
