Opening a bank account in Turkey


Many foreign customers come to Turkey to purchase a property to make an investment. The first step for foreigners when purchasing a property is to obtain a Turkish tax number, which is required to open a bank account in Turkey. Usually it is a simple and straightforward process. The main difficulty that foreigners may face in this process is the lack of language. Don’t worry! We support our customers with all the necessary administrative procedures, at every stage of the property purchase.

To open a bank account, a passport is required, an identity card is no longer sufficient, even as proof of address (!!!), a utility bill (internet / electricity / water / gas etc.) from the home country is required. This is translated here and notarized. You also need a Turkish mobile number. We also help our customers with these steps.

Unfortunately, powers of attorney to open a bank account are no longer accepted since May 2020. The people must be present at the initial opening.
