🇹🇷 Turkey · Startup Visa
Entrepreneur and startup visa programs, investment thresholds, and application criteria.
Türkiye does not present a single broad "startup visa" like some countries; founders typically combine company formation, work-permit or investor routes, and residence-permit rules.
- Foreign company partners may face work-permit criteria tied to capital share, paid-in capital and employment.
- Investment-linked residence and citizenship routes are separate from a normal startup operating plan.
- Founders should verify both immigration eligibility and company compliance before hiring or operating locally.
