You need a limited company which, when we set ours up, cost us 2000 quid. You have to have a turkish manager on paper, and you are responsible for paying their sigorta (monthly insurance). On top of that, you have to pay your accountant monthly, regardless of whether you are making money or not! With regards to actually working, you must have a Turkish citizen working for you. As Crabbit said, you've no chamce of a work permit yourselves unless you are doing a job that a Turk cannot do! There is alot of homework to be done but for us, it certainly wasn't as hard as we thought it would be. It was far harder getting the licence for the bar! I would say to anyone though, think long and hard about it! Incidentally, going back to the working issue, we have a bar. We employ a Turk. We can empty your ashtray, we can wash the pots and clean the toilets. God help us if we actually serve you a drink!!! How odd is that!!
