(All businesses established before August 31, 2003 will continue to count according to international sponsoring rules.)

If an ABO has no business in any of the countries that make up the CLOS Region, he will be allowed to establish one new business in the CLOS Region. An ABO, AIE or Member Plus who already has at least one business in the CLOS region will not be allowed to establish another one.

Establish a Second Business

International Sponsoring
International sponsoring is always an option and an excellent means of expanding your business while avoiding many of the costs and complexities associated with establishing a second business. Please note: For those markets where foreigners are able to establish a second business, they must be the international sponsor of their second business in another country.

Foreigners are not permitted to engage in door-to-door sales in Turkey. Only Turkish nationals are allowed to practice this. It is, however, possible for foreign Amway distributors to come to Turkey and solicit new distributors. As complex business and legal issues are involved, distributors should always contact the affiliate and obtain the advice of local counsel before attempting to establish a second business.

Business Entities
As a Corporate Entity, a corporation is formed by entering into a renewable consulting agreement with Amway Turkey as a Limited Liability Company or a Joint Stock Company. You should consult with local counsel or Amway Turkey to obtain the best business entity to accomplish your business goals.

Visa Requirements
As foreigners are not permitted to engage in door-to-door sales in Turkey, foreign distributors may not obtain a Work Permit and will not qualify for a Residence Permit. The duration for entrance visas into Turkey range from one month to three months, depending on the nationality of the foreigner.

The Turkish Consulate in your country of residence should be contacted in advance to obtain a general idea of the appropriate immigration requirements for your business purposes. Laws relating to visa requirements are constantly changing. Distributors must consult experts in the country to obtain advice on appropriate immigration requirements.

Distributor Registration Requirements
Turkish citizens: Sole entrepreneurship, general partnership and forms of corporate entities. Foreign citizens: As foreigners are not permitted to engage in retail sales in Turkey, they would be required to set up a company. It is highly recommended to contact a consultant for more details before setting up a business in Turkey.
