FDI companies (companies established in Turkey)

Companies established in Turkey in line with the Foreign Direct Investment Law have to issue an authorisation document to be prepared by the Commercial Registry Office on behalf of them. This document basically covers the
  • name/title of the company,
  • the names of the authorized representatives, and
  • whether the type/legal features of business allow the property purchase.

 

Companies established abroad

Commercial companies established in countries with which reciprocity exists have to submit an officially ratified authorisation document similar to the document described in the above sub-section. If any power of attorney is to take place, then two recent passport photos of the agent and an acceptable Power of Attorney are required.

Please note that The Turkish-British Chamber of Commerce and Industry (www.tbcci.org) can help you prepare all commercial documents and you can have the necessary documents ratified at the Turkish Consulate General in London.
