Yes. TURKEY has a Treaty of Commerce with the United States, making Turkish nationals eligible for the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa.
There is no fixed minimum, but the investment must be "substantial" relative to the total cost of the business. In practice, $100,000–$200,000 is typically sufficient for most business types.
Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can accompany you on E-2 dependent visas. Your spouse is eligible for an open work permit.
E-2 is a non-immigrant visa (does not lead directly to a Green Card) but is renewable indefinitely. EB-5 is an immigrant visa that leads to permanent residency (Green Card) but requires a significantly higher investment ($800,000+).
From initial consultation to visa approval typically takes 3–6 months, depending on business plan complexity and consular appointment availability in Istanbul.
