Hi I have been struggling for months now to open a YUVAM account in Turkey. I still live in South Africa and plan to emigrate to Turkey next year. In order for me to transfer my funds to Turkey I have to have a bank account. Impossible on all the banking websites. All block you in terms of the Turkish I’d/tax no and the phone no. My dialing code is 27 and automatically 09 is on the application form. These accounts are tax exempt. I don’t have a problem applying for a Turkish tax no once I get there but if you open an account which is tax exempt why do you need to submit a tax no. Please forward me details from a bank who will be able to assist me..
We would suggest you to contact any Turkish bank where you plan to open YUVAM account in regards of your issues.
