 2003 yılında yürürlüğe giren 4875 sayılı Doğrudan Yabancı Yatırımlar Kanununda yatırım ile yatırımcı terimleri uluslararası mevzuata bağlı kalınarak tanımlanmıştır. Bu kanunda izin ve onay sistemi kaldırılmış, yatırım serbestisi, transfer serbestisi, kamulaştırma ve devletleştirme ile uluslararası alternatif uyuşmazlık çözüm yollarının genişletilmesi düzenlemiştir. Çalışmamızda doğrudan yabancı yatırımın tarihsel gelişimi, kavramsal çerçevesi ve Doğrudan Yabancı Yatırımlar Kanunu genel standartlarına yer verilmiştir. Ayrıca bu çalışmada doğrudan yabancı yatırım kapsamında istihdam edilecek personele yönelik çıkarılan Kilit Personel Yönetmeliği incelenmiştir. Bu yönetmeliğe göre kilit personel terimi, çalışmada detaylı olarak açıklanacağı üzere, Türkiyede kurulu bulunan ve tüzel kişiliğe sahip yabancı sermayeli bir şirkette önemli sorumlulukları olan yabancı uyruklu kişidir. Kilit personel statüsünde kabul edilen kişilerin Türkiyede çalışmaları konusunda birtakım ayrıcalıklar yer almaktadır.
