Hello mr.shah

While waiting for members to give you some hints on which visa to choose, I invite you to read our articles on Visas for Turkey as well as Setting up a business in Turkey.

These might help you get a decent idea of the steps to take and what type of visa to choose.

If you cannot understand the links then you may well have trouble with trying to set up a business in Turkey. There will be lot of paperwork involved.
You have told us how much money you have to invest. For security purposes this was not a good idea telling everyone on an open forum as it may make you a target for scammers.

Be very careful about taking up any offer you get on a forum without knowing anything about the person making the offer and meeting them in person.  You first travel there, stay for a time, look around and check everything out. 

Then perhaps go to your Embassy in Turkey for advice as to how you can set up a company and a business in Turkey. Take your potential Turkish partner along to this meeting. If they do not want to come then they might be looking to take your money. 

Good luck

Respected  Mr shah

The money you mentioned openly will be enough only if you rent very small area in very bad locality for cafe. And grocery is not a good option according to my views coz there many online stores or big stores which give much more discount and quality.

Also paperwork is all in turkish so either be ready to have turkish friend or pay for translator.

i advice you to work in some cafe learn business here ,save your money and then open your own cafe

You d be better off if you ask Turkish embassy there
