Turquoise card time for foreigners has begun

The Turquoise Card, which is similar to the "Green Card" system in the United States, is awarded to foreign investors with investment and export potential, as well as foreigners who are expected to contribute to Turkey in the fields of education, arts and sports , Science and technology. Turquoise Card holders who have the right to work in Turkey indefinitely are granted a simplified work and residence permit. The person's family has received a residence permit.
The Turquoise Card aims to enable experts and qualified persons to work in Turkey, to attract scientists and artists to Turkey, and to eliminate potential problems faced by investors and capital holders regarding work and residence permits in Turkey.

This allows individuals to conveniently operate and invest in Turkey without giving up their first citizenship.
