Foreigners can open an account in Turkish banks. The value of the money isn't important. I advice you to open an account in bank which has an branch in other countries. So it can be easier to make transaction in Turkey or other branchs of the bank.

You must have a real adress and a paper invoice (bill) of electricity or telefhone, which shows your name and adress, etc. Because, banks demand one of them.

Every foreigner has the right to open a bank account in Turkey. You just need to verify your registered adress in your homeland and you need to take a turkish tax number. The amount of the money does not play any role.

By the way ; u can also send your money to your own bank account which is at your own country by any Turkish Bank..
