Turkish Citizenship by Investment — Complete Guide

Program Overview

Why Invest in a Turkish Passport?

The Turkish Citizenship by Investment Program is currently one of the most cost-effective and swift pathways to a secondary passport. By purchasing a property valued at $400,000 USD or more, you, your spouse, and children under 18 obtain lifetime citizenship.

Unlike other citizenship programs, Turkey does not require physical residence, military service, language examinations, or asset declarations. You can rent out your property immediately and resell after a 3-year holding period.

🌍 Visa-Free Access

Travel visa-free or visa-on-arrival to 110+ countries worldwide, including Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and South America.

🇺🇸 USA E-2 Visa Option

Turkish citizens are eligible to apply for the USA E-2 Investor Visa, allowing you to live and start a business in the United States.

Key Requirements

💰 Minimum Investment: $400,000 USD acquisition in real estate (must be held for 3 years).
🛡️ Clean Record: No prior criminal records in home country or internationally.
👨‍👩‍👧 Family Included: Spouse and all dependent children under 18 years old.
🏦 Official Valuation: Certified valuation report matching or exceeding the purchase price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, direct answers regarding the legalities of the Turkish investment program.

Can I buy multiple properties to reach the $400,000 threshold?

Yes, you can purchase multiple residential, commercial, or land assets. As long as all purchase contracts are submitted simultaneously and the total bank transfer values exceed $400,000 USD, your application is eligible.

How long do I need to hold the real estate investment?

You must keep the property for a minimum of 3 years from the date of title deed acquisition. After exactly 3 years, you are free to sell the property while keeping your Turkish citizenship for life.

Does my family also obtain Turkish passports?

Yes. Your spouse and all dependent children under the age of 18 are included in the same application without requiring any additional real estate investment.

Do I need to visit Turkey during the application process?

No. By granting Power of Attorney (PoA) to our licensed legal advisors, we handle all real estate purchases, title deed exchanges, banking, and citizenship filings on your behalf.
