Many foreign customers come to Turkey to buy property to make an investment. The first step for foreigners when buying a property is to obtain a Turkish tax number, which is required to open a bank account in Turkey. It’s usually a simple and straightforward process. The main difficulty that foreigners may face in this process is the lack of language. Do not worry! We support our customers in all necessary administrative procedures, in every phase of the property purchase.
A passport is required to open a bank account; an ID card is no longer sufficient.
Unfortunately, powers of attorney have no longer been valid for opening a bank account since May 2020, the people themselves must be present at the first opening.
