Opening Bank Accounts in Turkey for Foreigners | No Residence Permit Required | Cindemir Law Office

Turkey provides ample opportunities for foreigners interested in opening a bank account in the country. This process is even possible for those without a residence permit and foreign entities not present in Turkey.


In this video, we at Cindemir Law Office, explain the simple procedures, including the documentation required, to open a bank account as a foreigner in Turkey. The entire process typically involves a one-day procedural action and signing a bank customer contract in the presence of a bank officer. Hence, clients need to visit Turkey to complete this process.


Particularly, we elaborate on how we can assist foreigners, including those of Russian and Iranian origins, in navigating this process. Importantly, it's possible for foreign companies to open a bank account without being registered in Turkey, with no legislation restricting such action. The banks do perform a check on the company before opening the account, but generally, clients do not encounter any significant issues.


At Cindemir Law Office, we accompany our clients during the signing process and provide assistance at the bank. Watch this video to understand the entire process in detail.
