Working Arrangements for Non-Resident Foreign
Companies' Turkey Operations Conducted through Local Individuals
Introduction
In our globalized world where trade has no borders, it is a usual
practice for companies to conduct operations in different countries, including

as a local subsidiary company, while conducting their operations in Turkey, whereas
some foreign companies prefer to stay as non-resident in Turkey and conduct
their operations in Turkey through local individuals. The main reason for
companies choosing the latter may be that the works that needs to be performed
in Turkey may require only a few individuals, thus having an establishment for
such a small business may be considered as a burden for the company.
