Investment and Commercial Activities in Turkey
Turkey has become an increasingly attractive destination for foreign investors, entrepreneurs and internationally mobile individuals seeking to establish, expand or relocate their business activities. Recent legislative developments, including the introduction of Article 20/D of the Turkish Income Tax Law under Law No. 7582, have further strengthened Turkey’s position by creating new opportunities for qualifying individuals relocating to Turkey while maintaining international business interests.

Relocating Your Business to Turkey
Turkey’s evolving legal framework has created new opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors and business owners who wish to relocate to Turkey while maintaining international commercial activities.
Every relocation requires careful legal planning. Matters such as tax residency, corporate structure, foreign-source income, immigration status, commercial contracts and regulatory compliance should all be assessed before implementation.
Our team works closely with international clients to evaluate their existing structures and identify practical, legally compliant solutions before any relocation takes place. Depending on the client’s circumstances, our services may include strategic legal assessments, implementation planning, applications before the Turkish Revenue Administration where appropriate, and ongoing legal support following relocation.
How We Work
International investment is rarely limited to one area of law. Corporate law, commercial contracts, tax considerations, immigration procedures and regulatory compliance are often closely connected.
We address these matters together, through a single team. We report every development in your case to you and move to the next step only with your written approval.
