Free Zones in Turkey

There are 21 free zones in Turkey. Although these regions are within the borders of Turkey, they are considered outside the Customs Zone and foreign trade and financial-economic regulations are not applied in these regions. There are also various tax exemption practices in the regions. Foreign companies that want to take advantage of these advantages can form various partnership initiatives to take advantage of the advantages open to the Turkish private sector. Various commercial activities such as production, storage, banking and insurance can also be carried out in the regions. Investors can establish their own offices and facilities in the regions at attractive conditions.
