This page is about forming a US LLC while living in Turkey — not forming a company in Turkey. Stripe is banned in Turkey. The Lira has lost over 80% of its value against the dollar since 2018. A US LLC gives Turkish entrepreneurs full Stripe access and the ability to earn, hold, and transact in USD.
Secure payment via Stripe. No subscription.
Turkey has a large, skilled freelancer and e-commerce market. A US LLC removes the two biggest barriers: payment processing and currency instability.
Accept card payments from customers in 195+ countries. Process subscriptions, one-time payments, and marketplace payouts through Stripe's full platform — impossible from a Turkish entity.
Earn in USD, hold in USD, spend in USD. Convert to Lira only when you choose, at the rate you choose. Stop losing value to currency depreciation on every transaction.
We guide you through applications at Mercury, Relay, or Wise Business — neobanks that accept non-resident LLC owners remotely. No US visit needed. Mercury requires a real US address, not a registered agent address.
Turkish e-commerce sellers on Etsy, Shopify, and Amazon can accept international payments directly through Stripe. No more relying on iyzico's limited international coverage.
Turkish developers, designers, and consultants can invoice international clients in USD from a US entity. Get paid via ACH, wire, or Stripe — not limited to Turkish bank transfers.
Wyoming LLCs provide strong asset protection and privacy. Your personal assets are separated from business liability. No public disclosure of member names in Wyoming.
Wyoming for most Turkish founders — no state income tax, $100 filing fee, strong privacy. We advise based on your situation.
Articles of Organization filed with the Secretary of State. You provide your details, we handle everything. 1-5 business days.

Several US neobanks accept non-resident LLC owners remotely. We guide you through the application process. Bank account approval is subject to each bank's own verification requirements.
The most popular choice for non-resident founders. Full US checking account, debit card, and ACH transfers. Important: Mercury requires a genuine US business address — a registered agent (RA) address will be rejected. We help you arrange a virtual office address that Mercury accepts.
Business banking built for small businesses. Multiple checking accounts, profit-first budgeting. Accepts non-resident LLC owners with proper documentation. Good alternative if Mercury is not available.
Hold and convert 40+ currencies including TRY. Excellent for transferring USD back to your Turkish bank account when needed — at real mid-market exchange rates. Convert only when the rate is favourable.
If you own a US LLC as a Turkish citizen, the IRS requires you to file Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 every year — even if your LLC had zero revenue. This is an information return, not a tax return. The penalty for missing this filing is $25,000 per form, per year. Form 5472 must be filed on paper — it cannot be e-filed. Our compliance bundle handles this for you.
