About Turkey
Turkey bridges Europe, Asia and the Middle East with a large, young domestic market and a fast-growing manufacturing and export base. Foreign Direct Investment law gives foreign founders equal treatment — 100% foreign ownership is standard, with no requirement for a local Turkish partner, and foreign-owned companies pay the same corporate tax rate as domestic ones. One common misconception worth correcting up front: simply owning shares in a Turkish company does not by itself grant you residency or a work permit. A director actively managing the business generally needs a work permit, and anyone staying beyond 90 days in a 180-day period needs a residence permit with its own income and (for active owner-operators seeking a work permit) capital requirements — company ownership alone isn't the shortcut some guides imply. Company setup itself is straightforward and open to foreigners, which is what makes Turkey attractive for trading, manufacturing and regional distribution rather than the residency angle alone.
