Your Guide to Turkish Citizenship Through Investment
Turkey offers a unique and advantageous pathway to citizenship for foreign investors who invest a minimum of $400,000 USD in real estate. Unlike programs in other countries where you simply pay for a passport, Turkey allows you to combine citizenship benefits with a sound investment in a thriving real estate market. With this program, you commit to holding your investment for just three years, after which you can sell the property at a profit while retaining your Turkish citizenship for life.
Why Choose Turkish Citizenship by Investment?
Affordable Threshold: Invest as little as $400,000 USD in real estate.
Lifetime Citizenship: Citizenship is permanent, and any future children born to you will also be Turkish citizens.
Dual Citizenship: Turkey allows you to retain your original nationality alongside Turkish citizenship.
Global Mobility: A Turkish passport provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 110 countries.
Profitable Investment: After a 3-year holding period, you can sell your property and retain your citizenship.
