Türkei-Reise: Visaerleichterung für türkische Geschäftsleute
Lange Visaverfahren sind ein Problem für hunderte türkische Unternehmen in Deutschland. Während des Türkei-Besuchs des NRW-Ministerpräsidenten gibt es gute Nachrichten für sie.
The expansion of visa facilitation for Turkish businesspeople entering Germany was announced in Istanbul by Nordrhein-Westfalen's Minister-President Hendrik Wüst and the State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Serap Güler, at an economic conference. Since August 2025, a special procedure for particularly trustworthy Turkish companies with a specific connection to Germany has been in place, benefiting approximately 400 enterprises.
This circle is set to be expanded to include member companies of the Turkish Foreign Economic Association DEIK with a connection to Germany. Wüst emphasized that this announcement is a strong and concrete signal, particularly for the economic location of North Rhine-Westphalia. He explained that cumbersome and lengthy visa procedures had previously hindered collaboration between companies for years.
Güler added that in the future, more Turkish businesses will be able to reliably plan their business activities in Germany, thereby creating the foundation for new investments and closer partnerships. Nordrhein-Westfalen hosts around 1,300 Turkish companies, more than any other federal state.
