    What does Turkey citizenship offer?

    According to Law No. 5901 “On Citizenship,” foreign investors can obtain Turkish citizenship by buying property if they meet the established requirements. The program allows you to obtain a Turkish passport when purchasing a property worth at least $400,000, provided it is retained in your ownership for at least three years. This status opens up a wide range of opportunities: employment, unrestricted business activities, education, and medical care on an equal basis with other citizens of the country.

    In addition, Turkish citizenship provides visa-free or simplified entry to more than 110 countries worldwide, including Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. The Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between Turkey and the United States allows you to apply for an E-2 visa with the right to reside and conduct business in the USA.

    The Estate Invest company accompanies clients through all stages of obtaining Turkey citizenship by investment, helping to find a suitable property and complete the process without unnecessary complications. Our experts speak 10 languages, including Turkish, English, Ukrainian, Russian, and Kazakh, ensuring smooth communication with clients from different countries.

    Who can get Turkish citizenship

    The Turkish citizenship by real estate investment program is available to adult citizens of any country who have no criminal record or legal issues. Any foreigner over the age of 18 can be the principal applicant. Along with the principal applicant, citizenship is automatically granted to their spouse and children under the age of 18.

    An important advantage of the Turkey citizenship by investment program is that there are no requirements regarding education, language proficiency, or knowledge of the country’s history, nor is there a need to reside in Turkey before or after obtaining citizenship. Unlike many other investment citizenship programs, the Turkish program does not require proof of the source of funds for the purchase of real estate or a minimum income.

    Investment Options

    A key requirement of the Turkish citizenship program is the purchase of real estate worth at least $400,000. There are no restrictions on the type or number of properties, as long as their total value exceeds the minimum amount.

    For Personal Use

    Both completed development projects and off-plan properties are eligible for obtaining Turkish citizenship. The program does not impose any restrictions on the type of property – it can be spacious apartments in modern residential complexes, townhouses, or villas.

    For Passive Income

    Investing in residential real estate for long-term rentals is a strategy that provides a stable passive income yield of 6-8% per annum. The growing real estate market in the country creates favorable conditions for property value appreciation over the long run.

    For Short-Term Rentals

    Turkey’s popularity as a tourist destination guarantees high investment potential of real estate. Purchasing apartments in resort areas allows you to earn passive income from short-term rentals with a yield of up to 8-10% per annum.

    Benefits of Turkish Citizenship

    A Turkish passport provides its holder numerous advantages that significantly exceed the privileges of a regular residence permit. Investing in real estate opens up access to the following benefits:

    Multiple citizenship

    Turkish legislation does not require renunciation of previous citizenship, allowing you to retain all existing passports.

    Access to the financial system

    A simplified procedure for obtaining loans, mortgages, and other financial products.

    Health care benefits

    Access to quality medical care and the possibility of obtaining state health insurance.

    Citizenship for the whole family

    Unlike a residence permit, citizenship is permanent and does not require renewal.

    Legal integration

    Participation in the social and political life of the country, including the right to vote.

    Unrestricted travel

    Allows multiple entries into and exits from Turkey without additional visas.

    We will keep you informed of all processes and provide additional support if necessary. After the application has been approved, it will be necessary to obtain Turkish ID cards (kimlik) and passports for the applicant and their family members.
