If you have a Turkish passport, did you know that you are eligible to apply for business visa to the UK under a special permit offered by the UK and currently available only to Turkish citizens?
Beyond Immigration has expertise in structuring inbound and outbound immigration solutions that enable UK investment migration via Turkey. Once you obtain your Turkish passport in a matter of months for a minimum property investment of USD 250,000, we can start the UK application for a Turkish Businessperson Visa. You must have a genuine intention to set up a viable business and be able to support your family.
This visa is enabled by the Ankara Agreement between Turkey and the European Economic Area, the predecessor to EU.
Britain will no longer be a party to the Ankara Agreement after the Brexit transition period ends on December 31, 2020, however, the Ankara Agreement is still in force for now. Ankara Agreement also enables Turkish nationals to open a business in any EEA country. This is an attractive option for Turkish passport holders who are exploring relocation options to Britain.
