Match each task to its actual trigger
The first-capital process concerns Türkiye-resident individuals and legal entities exporting cash or in-kind capital to establish a foreign company, join one or open a branch. The guidance distinguishes:
| Task | Trigger and timing | Recipient or process |
|---|---|---|
| First-capital information form | Within three months after the described first cash/in-kind event | Both the Ministry of Treasury and Finance and the Ministry of Trade |
| Transfer/liquidation status notice | No later than three months after the described completion for the foreign company, participation or branch | Both ministries |
| Outward-investment survey | Separate April–May exercise | Current survey process |
Establish the event before relying on the calendar
For an American subsidiary’s first capital, identify the actual investor, entity or branch and event date, then confirm the current form and submission routes. Retain both required deliveries, rather than treating the bank transfer as the notice.
Check later transfer or liquidation completion separately. Do not silently convert three months to ninety days, or import a March annual deadline from older summaries. Ordinary service receipts are a different money flow, not automatically another first-capital event.
Scope
- This is an AI-assisted explanation of the named ministry guidance. Current operative legal/form details and event-date calculation require confirmation; general transfer permission, bank reporting, taxes and U.S. operations are not determined.
Next step
Confirm the actual capital or exit event and arrange both ministry notices separately from the annual survey.

Complete Turkish body read. First cash/in-kind capital export and completed liquidation/transfer notices go to Treasury and Finance and Trade within three months; the current page separately describes an annual April–May investment survey. This guide does not transplant the March reporting deadline found in older summaries or infer permission to transfer capital. Exact deadline computation, current form and submission channels must be confirmed for the event.
Detailed rule records (1)
The Ministry’s 13 May 2026 guidance describes initial capital-export information to Treasury and Finance and Trade within three months; completed liquidation/transfer status also to both within three months. It separately describes an annual April–May outward-investment survey. The survey is not a substitute for the event notice.
