Questions
What people ask before working with us
What does Turchina Group do?
Turchina Group is a general advisory brand for Chinese-speaking clients, based in Istanbul. We help individuals, families and companies with Turkish citizenship by investment, residence and work permits, property, company setup, investment and trade: we explain the rules in Mandarin, plan the steps and coordinate the independent licensed professionals you engage directly.
Is Turchina Group a law firm?
No. Turchina Group is a general advisory brand and does not provide legal services. Where a matter needs a lawyer, you engage an independent lawyer under a separate agreement, and the lawyer advises you directly; we handle communication in Mandarin and the overall coordination.
Do you work with clients from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia?
Yes. We work with Chinese-speaking clients everywhere, in written Chinese (Traditional or Simplified), Mandarin and English. Entry rules, document certification and dual-nationality rules differ by passport, and your plan covers each of them.
How are fees charged?
The first 60-minute consultation is free. After that, each matter has a fixed coordination fee confirmed in writing before work starts; government fees, translation and notary costs, and the fees of lawyers, accountants and other professionals are itemised and paid directly or as agreed. We take no referral commissions.
Do I need to travel to Turkey?
Not always. Many steps can be done remotely through a power of attorney; a few, such as bank identity checks and residence-permit biometrics, usually need you in person. We plan those steps into a single trip.
How long does Turkish citizenship by investment take?
From the purchase or investment to the passport, it usually takes 8 to 12 months, depending on the route, how ready your documents are and the authorities' review times. The citizenship service page sets out each step.
Ready to take the next step in Turkey?
Whether you are exploring Turkey for the first time or already have a clear plan, we welcome a free Mandarin or English call. Within an hour you will have clarity on path, process, and cost.
