Before any action, you should see what is your purpose of registering a company in Turkey?
Obtaining Turkish residence is one of these goals.
By registering the company, you can get one-year short-term residence for the CEO and his family.
This residence request depends on many parameters, including the capital of the registered company, the amount of tax payment and the life of the company, and having a business plan and invitation, etc.
It is recommended to enter Turkey through a business visa to obtain residency through company registration, so that you can apply for residency with this visa.
Otherwise, it is almost impossible to get business residency in Türkiye.
Then you register your company through this invitation.
Also, company registration can lead to Turkish citizenship, which can be one of the main goals.
The number of Turkish employees in the company is one of the important parameters in obtaining Turkish citizenship through company registration.

Turkey allows you to operate legally with this company registration.
The most important advantage of the work permit is the possibility of obtaining residence for the CEO and family members.
We do not recommend this method if you want to register the company only to get residence.
Because it is not economical from the economic point of view and the need to hire a Turkish employee in the company.
Contrary to what you see in the advertisements of obtaining residence by institutions, obtaining residence for companies that do not have any activity and are newly established is impossible.
