Due to the many opportunities it offers, Turkey is a country that is heavily preferred by natural and legal persons who want to invest abroad. Although there are many conveniences provided to foreign investors, there are many important issues to be considered while making an investment and during the company establishment process. The most important legal regulation regarding foreign investors is the Foreign Direct Investors Law No. 4875 and the regulation on the implementation of this law. In this law; the principles of freedom of investment, encouragement of foreign investors and equal treatment were taken as basis, and various assurances were given to foreign investors. In addition, there are issues that foreign investors should consider in their activities in Turkey in the Turkish Commercial Code, the Turkish Code of Obligations and the Law on Work Permits of Foreigners. In accordance with the principle of equality on which the law no. 4875 is based, foreigners can establish all types of companies that can be established by Turks in Turkey. However, in some areas such as insurance and banking, there is a pre-approval requirement.
