Why Algeria for Turkish investors
Built on an established trade corridor
Turkey is among Algeria's leading non-energy trading partners and a significant source of foreign direct investment. Turkish construction, textile and manufacturing groups operate here at scale, which means local banks, notaries and suppliers are familiar with Turkish-owned structures and the documents that come with them.
100% Turkish ownership in most sectors
The 51/49 rule now applies only to strategic sectors (Executive Decree 21-145: energy and mining, pharmaceutical manufacturing, transport and transport infrastructure, defense) and to pure import-for-resale. Construction, textiles, manufacturing, steel processing and furniture are fully open, so your Algerian entity can be 100% Turkish-owned with no local partner.
Profits flow back to Turkey
Law 22-18 Article 8 guarantees transfer of 100% of net dividends, capital gains and liquidation proceeds, after corporate tax and the 15% withholding, provided the capital entered through the banking channel in convertible currency, foreign financing covers at least 25% of the investment cost, and the activity is not pure import-resale.
You never leave Turkey
In-person identification at the notary and bank is required only from the gerant, not from you as shareholder. With your own Algerian appointee or our nominee gerant (USD 600 per month), the full chain runs while you stay in Turkey: capital wire, power of attorney, statutes, CNRC and tax registrations.
Sectors Turkish investors pursue
- Construction and public works
- Textiles and garment manufacturing
- Industrial manufacturing and assembly
- Steel and metal processing
- Furniture and wood products
- Building materials and equipment trade
The Turkey connection
The Turkey-Algeria economic relationship is one of the deepest in the region and continues to expand. Turkey is consistently among Algeria's leading non-hydrocarbon trade partners, with a substantial established Turkish corporate presence on the ground, and Turkish contractors are active across the country's infrastructure, housing and industrial projects. Textiles, steel, manufacturing and furniture move in volume between the two markets, and the long-running political and commercial ties make Algeria a natural extension for Turkish firms scaling beyond their home market.
Tax treaty and repatriation
Dividends paid to non-residents carry a 15% withholding. Turkey and Algeria have a double taxation treaty in force, so where it applies the rate on dividends transferred to Turkey may be reduced. We verify the exact treaty position and the documentation it requires before you commit capital, so the rate applied to your dividends is settled in advance, not after the fact.
Document legalization
Your Turkish corporate documents (articles, board resolution, power of attorney, shareholder KYC) must be legalized before use in Algeria. From 9 July 2026 Algeria applies the Hague Apostille Convention, and Turkey is a party to it, so a single apostille issued in Turkey replaces the old consular legalization chain of notarization, foreign-ministry authentication and Algerian-embassy legalization. Sworn French translation in Algeria is required either way. We confirm the exact path for your documents and provide the checklist and templates up front so your Turkish notary gets it right the first time.
You never travel: the resident-gerant workflow
Algerian banks and notaries require in-person identification, but from the gerant (the resident legal manager), not from you as shareholder. The whole incorporation runs through an Algerian-resident gerant:
- 1
The gerant obtains the notary authorization to open a provisional bank account.
- 2
You wire the share capital in USD or EUR to that account through the official banking channel; the bank issues the capital subscription certificate.
- 3
The gerant signs a power of attorney to UpGrowth, and we handle the statutes signing, legal publications, CNRC, tax IDs and social affiliations.
If you have your own Algerian appointee, perfect. If not, our nominee gerant service (USD 600 per month) provides the resident manager that unlocks the entire workflow while you keep full control as shareholder.
