As with every country in the world, Turkey has a long history and great customs. However, most big cities have a cosmopolitan attitude when it comes to business. Turkish cities are like the European ones when it comes to business culture.

Building personal relationships is very important to Turks when entering a business relationship. Allow some conversation to flow before starting a business discussion to lead to successful partnerships. 

 

People traveling to Turkey for business reasons will need the following documentation:

• A passport that is valid for 6 months after the date they arrive in Turkey.

• A valid business visa or e-Visa for Turkey.

​

Business visas may be obtained by applying in person at a Turkish embassy or consulate. Part of the documentation required for this is an invitation letter from the Turkish company or organization hosting the visit.

Citizens of eligible countries have the option of submitting an online visa application for Turkey.

 

Visitors can stay in Turkey on a business visa for 90 days, and the visa is valid until six months after the date it’s issued.
