O Marco Legal<\/h4>\n

Starting a business in a new country is challenging, as it is everywhere. As a foreigner, if you intend to set up a business in Turkey, you first have to look at and get familiarized with the Foreign Direct Investment Law (No: 4875), which was introduced in Turkey in 2003. The most important principles introduced by this law are those of non-discrimination and equal treatment, as they set the legal framework of the liberal investment environment in Turkey.<\/p>\n

De acordo com a Lei do Investimento Estrangeiro Direto, os pr\u00e9-requisitos e obriga\u00e7\u00f5es para a constitui\u00e7\u00e3o de uma empresa com capital estrangeiro ser\u00e3o iguais aos das empresas locais. Consequentemente, as diversas autoriza\u00e7\u00f5es obrigat\u00f3rias que existiam no passado para a cria\u00e7\u00e3o de uma empresa com capital estrangeiro s\u00e3o agora eliminadas. As empresas fundadas com capital estrangeiro, conforme considerado pelas regras do C\u00f3digo Comercial Turco, s\u00e3o consideradas empresas turcas. Portanto, todos os deveres e responsabilidades s\u00e3o id\u00eanticos, independentemente da natureza da cria\u00e7\u00e3o de capital da empresa.<\/p>\n

Additionally, within the new FDI law, there are no rules requiring Turkish participation in the capital or management<\/a> of a company with foreign capital. A company may be established with 100% foreign capital, and almost all sectors are open to foreign capital. The company’s establishment procedures have also been simplified to a great extent. Now, with the efficient procedures, a company’s registration and establishment of a company in Turkey can be completed in as little as one day. Companies must submit a standard form at one location and will not need to submit applications to many authorities for approvals. Also, the law provides that it is no longer mandatory to establish either a limited liability company or joint stock company. These are all important points to be taken into consideration by foreign investors who plan to do business in Turkey.<\/p>\n

Na pr\u00e1tica<\/h4>\n

If you are opening a company in Turkey, you basically have a couple of options. For instance you can open a liaison office. To undertake this route however, it is important to keep in mind that there should not be any commercial activities on behalf of this company; basically, it is not possible to issue invoices from a liaison office. Another alternative is to open a branch of a foreign company. To pursue this alternative, you need to get permission form the Ministry of Industry and Trade in Ankara, and it is possible to undertake commercial activities. Otherwise, you can set up a limited company or set-up a joint stock company. For the former, you need a minimum capital of 5.000 YTL and minimum two shareholders, all of whom can be foreigners, if necessary. For the latter, a minimum capital of YTL 50.000 is required and the number of founding shareholders should be at least five. For both options, the shareholder liability is limited to the capital paid by each shareholder. It is also feasible to transfer shares from an already established company, and thus become a shareholder.<\/p>\n

No que diz respeito \u00e0 contrata\u00e7\u00e3o de pessoal estrangeiro em qualquer entidade na Turquia \u2013 \u00e9 poss\u00edvel faz\u00ea-lo. Por\u00e9m, os estrangeiros que planeiam viver e trabalhar na Turquia devem obter uma autoriza\u00e7\u00e3o de trabalho do Minist\u00e9rio do Trabalho e Seguran\u00e7a Social e, ao mesmo tempo, receber uma autoriza\u00e7\u00e3o de resid\u00eancia do Minist\u00e9rio da Administra\u00e7\u00e3o Interna\/Sede da Pol\u00edcia Local. No entanto, o processo de obten\u00e7\u00e3o de autoriza\u00e7\u00e3o de trabalho \u00e9 bastante complicado e dif\u00edcil de adquirir.<\/p>\n
