There is no minimum capital requirement aimed at foreign investors as such: the Foreign Direct Investment Law (No. 4875) puts a foreign investor on the same footing as a domestic one. The only floor is the statutory minimum every company has to meet under the Turkish Commercial Code (No. 6102) — TRY 50,000 for a limited liability company (Ltd. Şti.), TRY 250,000 for a joint-stock company (A.Ş.), and TRY 500,000 initial capital where a non-public joint-stock company opts into the registered-capital system (as of July 2026). Existing companies must reach those figures by 31 December 2026 or are deemed dissolved.
The figure that actually matters is usually higher than the floor. Realistic capital follows from your business plan, from what the first year will need in cash, and from objectives that carry their own thresholds — work permits above all. Where foreign personnel are to be employed, the permit legislation can look for a particular level of paid-in capital and a particular employment ratio, and the capital has to be structured to meet those rather than merely to clear the statutory minimum. We set it against your objectives, not against the floor.
