Source-of-Funds and Compliance Advice

Preparing and documenting for due diligence

Source-of-Funds and Compliance Advice

Documenting the source of investment funds, alignment with banks and a file layout that passes due diligence.

Report from 12,000 TRY

The most common reason for refusal in investment programmes is that the source of funds is insufficiently documented. States and banks want to see where the money came from, how it accumulated and whether it was taxed.

Accepted sources of funds

  • Salary and bonus (payslips, bank statements, tax returns)
  • Business income and profit share (balance sheet, dividend decision, tax plate)
  • Sale of property or shares (sale contract, title deed, bank receipt)
  • Inheritance and gift (certificate of inheritance, notarised gift declaration)
  • Loans (loan agreement and collateral information)

Preparation process

  1. Fund flow map: the route from the source of the money to the investment account
  2. Document pack: all relevant evidence arranged chronologically
  3. Bank alignment: preliminary correspondence with domestic and foreign banks
  4. Explanatory letter: a source-of-funds report describing the source
  5. Coordination of sworn translation and apostille

Common mistakes

Cash deposits, transfers from third parties' accounts, building a balance through many small inflows and untaxed income cause serious problems in compliance checks. Where necessary we recommend lowering the risk by postponing the investment timing until tax compliance is completed.

Fee

The source-of-funds report preparation service starts from 12,000 TRY and rises with the complexity of the funds.

Scope of service

  • Fund flow map
  • Document pack and explanatory letter
  • Bank pre-correspondence
  • Sworn translation and apostille

Frequently asked questions

Do you guarantee approval?
No. A residence, citizenship or work permit decision belongs to the relevant state body alone. No advisory company can guarantee approval. We provide profile analysis, document and source-of-funds preparation, compliance and process management.
Is the investment amount included in your advisory fee?
No. The investment amount is paid directly to the government fund, the property seller or the investment fund; we do not collect cash on behalf of clients. Our advisory (file management) fee is written fixed and separately in the contract.
What is the difference between citizenship and residence?
Citizenship gives you that country's passport and all rights of citizenship; residence gives the right to live and often work in the country but no passport. Residence often depends on holding the investment and must be renewed.
Is dual citizenship allowed in Türkiye?
Turkish nationality law permits dual citizenship; however, you need to notify Türkiye of your second citizenship and assess obligations such as tax and military service separately. Confirm the current legislation with your legal adviser.
Why is the source of funds so important?
States and banks examine the legitimate source of invested money under anti-money-laundering rules. An undocumented or inconsistent source is the most common reason for refusal. The SoF report should therefore be prepared before the investment decision.
