Reviewed the Turkish company-formation and residence content from a Turkish-law standpoint. The description of the Limited Sirketi and Anonim Sirketi structures and the general formation path is accurate, but two legal points needed tightening: (1) the minimum-capital and paid-in requirements should be stated as legal thresholds under the Turkish Commercial Code rather than as fixed figures that shift, since the required amount and the timing of paid-in capital differ between the LTD and AS forms; (2) the residence-permit-through-real-estate figure and the citizenship-by-investment threshold are set by regulation and change, so the page should frame them as current-as-of-date regulatory thresholds a reader must reconfirm, not permanent numbers. Added these so the legal statements are correct and not read as fixed guarantees.

Fixed the direction of a change to Turkey's Central Bank of Iran (CBI) related investment threshold, which had been described as being reduced when it was actually raised, and updated Turkish Lira to US Dollar conversions. A related error was found later in the paired FAQ data: it described Turkey's citizenship-by-investment threshold as "reduced" from $250,000, when the actual change was an increase (to $400,000) - this direction error in the FAQ was flagged but the fix status was not confirmed as fully complete.
BeforeCitizenship by investment through real estate purchase of 250,000 USD, reduced from 400,000 USD in June 2022, held for 3 years, or bank deposit of 500,000 USD, or other qualifying investments.
AfterCitizenship by investment through real estate purchase of 400,000 USD (raised from 250,000 USD in June 2022) held for 3 years, or bank deposit of 500,000 USD, or other qualifying investments.
Why: The direction of the June 2022 change to Turkey's citizenship-by-investment real estate threshold was stated backwards; the threshold was raised from 250,000 to 400,000 USD, not reduced from 400,000 to 250,000 USD.
