Do Foreign Creditors Need to Be Physically Present in Person (Or by Their Employees) To Bring Proceedings Locally to Turkey?

No, there is no need for the creditor to be physically present in person to bring proceedings locally.

The creditor’s lawyer shall persuade all of the related procedures without the creditor’s presence, within the perspective of the power of attorney given by the creditor.

Although, there may be some cases where the court wants to hear the creditor’s testimony in order to reach a verdict.

In that case, the creditor or its legal representative shall come to the court hearing and give the relevant testimony.
