Türkiye Citizenship By Investment

Türkiye offers a clear, law‑based path to citizenship for investors and their families, with no residency or language requirement and dual citizenship permitted. Spouses and children under 18 can be included, and successful applicants receive a Turkish passport and national ID.

Qualifying investments (hold for a minimum of 3 years):

- Real estate purchase of at least USD 400,000, evidenced by an SPK‑licensed valuation and a no‑sale annotation on the title (TAPU).

- Financial instruments of at least USD 500,000: fixed bank deposit, government bonds, or shares in approved Real Estate Investment Funds (REIF) or Venture Capital Investment Funds (VCIF).

- Job creation for at least 50 Turkish employees, verified by the Ministry of Labor.

Key requirements and notes:

- Clean background and verified lawful source of funds. Funds are typically converted to TRY through a Turkish bank with a Foreign Exchange Purchase Certificate before investment/settlement.

- Real estate must meet Land Registry rules (e.g., valuation, seller profile, encumbrances). Regulations evolve and are strictly enforced.

- Health insurance is required for the interim residence permit used during citizenship processing.

Process and timeline:

1) Pre‑screening, tax number, and bank account setup.

2) Select and complete the qualifying investment.

3) Obtain the relevant Certificate of Conformity (from the Land Registry, BRSA, or Capital Markets Board).

4) Apply for a short‑term residence permit, then submit the citizenship application.

5) Security checks, approval, and issuance of ID and passport.

Most files complete in roughly 4–6 months after investment, though 6–9 months is possible depending on workload and documentation.

Benefits include access to a dynamic G20 economy bridging Europe and Asia, strong lifestyle and education options, and business formation ease. Travel mobility is moderate (not Schengen/UK visa‑free). Turkish nationals are eligible for the U.S. E‑2 Treaty Investor visa pathway; however, those who acquired nationality by investment must demonstrate three years of domicile in Türkiye before applying under current U.S. rules. Always verify the latest regulations and costs before proceeding.

Charms of pleasure the moment so blinded by desires that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their.
