Establishing a bank account in Turkey via an attorney is possible. The operation requires a special Power of Attorney (“PoA”) or a special wording in the general PoA.
Opening a bank account in any Turkish bank as a foreign individual (whether via an attorney or not) requires a Potential Tax ID Number that will be issued by the provincial tax office.
With your request, KOOBY Law & Consultancy team can easily apply on behalf of you for such number with a special PoA.
Please note that obtaining a Potential Tax ID Number does not require any declaration. It is only required for the taxation of your further actions in Turkey such as obtaining a real estate, banking transactions etc.
