How to Secure Turkish Citizenship by Real Estate Investment?

To qualify for Turkish citizenship via buying a property in Turkey applicants are required to invest into real estate in Turkey worth a minimum of $250,000. The value of the property will be determined by an official valuation survey completed by the authorities that are announced by the Banking Supervision Board. This investment obligation can be fulfilled by either purchasing a single property or multiple properties, we highly recommend Istanbul property as the investment location as rental gains and capital appreciation are still growing faster than any other zone in Turkey. Investors MUST retain ownership of their Turkish property for at least 3 years. This compulsory requirement is recorded on the Title Deed.

The Turkish property purchase should be paid via bank to bank wire transfer and supported by bank receipts to prove that the investment was made from the buyer’s account to the seller’s account or attorney.

In the event that the Turkish property is purchased through a mortgage or loan, the mortgage value will be deducted from the value stated in the overall valuation survey and the balance will be taken into consideration.

All Turkish citizenship investments applications will be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs, Directorate of Foreigners Department, through the Ministry of Environments and Urbanization, Land Registry Office.
