Legal Coordination
A Specialized Legal Team for International Clients
From the very first moment a client contacts us, their case is assigned to a specialized legal team consisting of experienced and fully licensed Turkish lawyers who have specialized in representing international investors and foreign nationals. Our legal experts exclusively work on cross-border cases and are well aware of the complexities involved in cases where clients are dealing with a foreign legal system, often from overseas.
Our legal coordination covers all the major legal requirements of international clients, ranging from Turkish Citizenship by Investment, residency, and immigration processes to company incorporation and structuring, property-related legal transactions, and cross-border legal compliance. Each case is dealt with individually, taking into consideration the nationality of the client, their investment plans, family dynamics, and overall personal or business goals. There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution; each legal route is customized according to the client’s needs.
Citizenship by Investment (CBI)
Our lawyers handle the entire Turkish Citizenship by Investment program, from application to approval. This involves a comprehensive legal eligibility assessment to ensure that the client’s investment meets current Turkish citizenship and government requirements. We also carry out comprehensive compliance checks on the chosen property to ensure it meets the requirements for Turkish citizenship and does not pose any potential legal issues.
Next, we carry out a comprehensive legal check on the title deed (TAPU), the official valuation expertise report, and the capital transfer procedure to ensure full compliance with Turkish banking and financial laws. We handle the preparation, application, and follow-up of the client’s application for Turkish citizenship. We monitor every step of the application to ensure approval.
Family inclusion forms an integral part of the application, covering spouses and children as applicable under Turkish citizenship law. Upon approval, our lawyers handle the final steps, which include the issuance of Turkish passports and ID cards to the client. Throughout the Turkish Citizenship application journey, the client is kept fully informed and aware of every step, providing full transparency and confidence in the process.
All of this is done in strict accordance with the laws of Turkey and the current regulations of the Turkish government, ensuring a safe and seamless outcome.
Residency & Immigration Services
For those of our clients who are not currently seeking citizenship, we offer complete legal support services regarding residency and immigration law. Our legal coordination services cover all aspects of obtaining a residence permit, including short-term and long-term residence permits, residency permits based on real estate acquisitions, family residence permits, renewals, changes of residency statuses, address registrations, and all necessary legal declarations.
Our goal is to simplify a sometimes complex immigration law scenario, ensuring our clients are able to navigate this sometimes intricate process in a timely fashion while meeting all of the current immigration laws of Turkey.
By providing our clients with the necessary legal documentation, filings, and institutional coordination, we allow them to focus on their plans to relocate to Turkey or invest in Turkey without the stress of navigating a sometimes complex immigration law scenario.
Rented properties can be effective investments, but are generally better suited to experienced investors.
The best choice depends on your objectives and your understanding of the local market.
Company Formation & Corporate Legal Services
For our international clients looking to establish a business presence in Türkiye, we can coordinate complete legal services for company formation and subsequent corporate compliance requirements. This includes legal company structuring and incorporation, preparation of Articles of Association, Trade Registry Registration, and completion of all necessary tax and legal registrations.
In addition, we can advise on shareholder and director structures to ensure that the company formation process is in complete alignment with our client’s international business strategy and expansion goals. As such, we can also coordinate subsequent corporate compliance services to ensure our clients maintain a compliant corporate structure.
In this regard, we have an established network of trusted accountants and tax advisors to ensure that the overall structure of the company is as efficient and transparent as possible, in complete alignment with our client’s international interests.
