LLC. Establishment in Turkey

LLC.  Establishment in Turkey

A. The process of Building a Company in Turkey for Foreign Real people:
It is easy to say that a foreign real person's starting a company in Turkey is a very easy process compared to legal entities. The only thing a foreign real person needs in the first place is a notary certified passport translation and a foreign tax number.

In particular today, the procedure for a foreign real person to establish a company in Turkey has been so easy that it is possible to obtain a tax number within minutes via the internet. To do this, it is sufficient for the stranger to enter personal information through the interactive tax office and receive a foreign tax number within minutes. With all of this, we would like to make it very clear that there is something to be careful about at this point. When a foreign real person fills out their personal information through the interactive tax office to obtain a tax number, a person is asked to type their residence address. At this point, an address for the residence in Turkey was shown, and the requirement for the person to have a work or residence permit was provided when the company was in the founding phase through MERSIS. On the other hand, company installation can be carried out at the point where the residence address is shown in a foreign country, without the provision of any other documents.

To sum up, the foreign real person needs 2 (two) items which are mandatory for the company to start in Turkey, but are very easily achieved: Notary passport translation and tax number.

If the pre-preparation phase is carried out, a system registration request will be created via MERSIS with the tax number received and passport registration made. Following the MERSIS registration, the main contract registration must be made, as again, the process for the local investor and Turkish citizen is progressing in the same direction for the real person. there is no obstacle to the appointment of a foreign real person as a single partner (if it is an anonymous company from the capital companies) or manager (if it is a limited company from the capital companies). After all, the registration process begins. Another thing that may require support may occur is that the real foreign person does not know how to speak Turkish. In this case, a translator's co-signer is required at the signing stage.

B. Company Building process for Foreign Entities in Turkey:
The organization of foreign entities in Turkey is a more difficult way for foreign real persons, as mentioned above, to be provided specifically with documents that must be provided.

At this point, a foreign entity should provide a apostil1-serrated example of the tax record in the country where it is, 2 apostle copies of the business room/trade ministry activity document in the country where it is located, who represents the legal entity in the country where it is, and an apostle-serrated document that allows the company to form and to establish a company.

A foreign legal person needs a very, very potential tax number. At this point, however, physically, the tax office should go to obtain a tax ID number for the foreign legal entity. Following this, company organization transactions from the chamber of commerce are initiated and the company organizational transactions continue in their normal course.
