About Us

Menzil Göç Danışmanlığı was founded in Istanbul in 2014 by Selma Kıvanç, an immigration lawyer, and Orhan Eryılmaz, a finance specialist who had worked in international banking. The aim was to give people wanting to build a life in a second country access to an independent adviser who can assess both the legal and financial sides together. Today, with a team of 26, we serve from Istanbul, Ankara, Dubai and Athens.

Our independence principle

We have no exclusive sales partnership with any country, fund or real-estate developer. We state openly that we receive a transaction commission in some investment structures and show this in writing in the contract. Our recommendations depend on your profile, budget, goal and risk. Sometimes we say "this programme doesn't suit you" and do not hesitate to suggest a lower-budget route such as a work permit.

Our areas of expertise

• Citizenship by investment: Caribbean programmes and Turkish citizenship through real estate
• Residence by investment: Greece, Portugal, the UAE, Georgia
• Skilled work permits: Germany, Canada, the UK, the Netherlands
• Digital-nomad and passive-income residence: Spain and other European countries
• Source-of-funds and compliance processes

How we work

Each client is assigned a single responsible adviser, who is the same person from the free pre-meeting to the decision notice. Every correspondence, document request and fee item related to the process is recorded in the panel. We also apply a file control procedure reviewed by two separate specialists (four-eyes check).
