💸 Tax Reality

💸 Full tax on foreign income

Turkey taxes worldwide income for residents (183+ days). Progressive rates 15-40%. The DN visa is relatively new; the first year stay may not trigger full tax residency depending on circumstances.

⚠️

Tax trap risk — read the notes carefully before committing. Staying too long may trigger unexpected tax residency.
