Individual Membership

Any member who meets the qualifications set forth by the Turkish Civil Code and Associations Law, and who pays the membership fee and entry fee, is considered an Individual Member. Individual Members who have paid their membership fees have the right to vote at the General Assembly.

To become and maintain ATIC membership, individuals wishing to apply must first join ATIC and then apply for membership in one or more business councils of their choice.

In line with ATIC’s objectives, managers of firms operating in Turkiye, freelancers, and liaison offices of foreign companies domiciled and active in Turkiye with an activity certificate can apply for membership. Those deemed suitable by the Member Acceptance and Member Relations Council can become members upon the decision of the Board of Directors.

The membership process for ATIC is completed by submitting the ATIC Membership Form and membership documents to ATIC, having the membership application approved by the ATIC Board of Directors, and paying the membership fee.
