Chinese interest in Türkiye has grown along Belt and Road trade and investment lines. Istanbul hosts a growing Chinese business and tourism-services community; smaller professional pockets exist in Ankara and Izmir. Türkiye's geographic position as a transcontinental hub is the primary draw for Chinese professionals and entrepreneurs.

Chinese passport holders apply for an e-Visa via evisa.gov.tr for short visits (eligibility typically requires a valid Schengen / US / UK / Ireland visa or residence permit). Long-term residence requires a Turkish residence permit applied for in-country.

Banking access is workable with a residence permit and Turkish tax number. Chinese-language professional services (lawyers, accountants, real-estate brokers) are emerging in Istanbul, particularly in the Laleli and Beyoğlu trade districts.
