Turkish business in Russia
from entry to operating

Turkish construction, manufacturing and consumer companies are among the most active on the ground in Russia — often needing people mobilised fast against contract deadlines. We handle company registration, HQS work permits for senior Turkish managers, payroll and accounting, so projects start on schedule. Where a Russian infrastructure or construction contract is awarded, we sequence entity setup and immigration in parallel to get managers on site within weeks, then run ongoing tax and reporting as the project scales.

01

What is specific to this corridor

Built for deadline-driven mobilisation — managers on site in weeks, not months.

01
The treaty applies — the evidence decides

The Russia–Türkiye double tax treaty remains in force. As with any treaty position, the reduced rates depend on holding the right residency and ownership evidence at the time of payment rather than assembling it later.

02
Getting paid, and getting money out

Settlement between your country and Russia works, but the route matters more than it used to — which bank, which currency, which correspondent. Payments also fall under Russian currency control, where a missed notification rather than a wrong figure is the usual problem. We set the route up front and keep the filings behind it in order.

03
Presence and people

Turkish construction and manufacturing groups typically move technical staff in numbers. HQS permits, migration registration and payroll are run as one sequence so nobody is on site before they are legally able to be.

Payments work, but the route matters

Settlement between Türkiye and Russia is workable, and the practical questions are which bank, which currency and what documentation the transfer needs to clear cleanly.

Questions clients ask

How fast can Turkish managers be mobilised to Russia? +

With HQS work permits sequenced alongside incorporation, senior managers can typically be on site within a few weeks — we run entity setup and immigration in parallel.

What structure suits a Turkish construction company? +

Most operate through a Russian LLC that can contract, hire and invoice locally. The right setup depends on the contract, VAT position and how staff are deployed.

Do you handle payroll for the local team? +

Yes. We run payroll, personal income tax and employment compliance for both local and foreign staff, coordinated with immigration.

Treaty positions and rates are confirmed per case before you rely on them.

Entering or scaling?

Turkish groups usually arrive with the commercial side decided and the compliance sequence open. That is the part we handle.
