Key Investment Requirements for Turkish Citizenship

Thinking about expanding your horizons? Turkey offers a fast-track citizenship program. Here are the primary investment pathways to obtain a Turkish passport within 6 months:

  • Real Estate Investment: Purchase property worth at least $400,000 USD.
  • Bank Deposit: Deposit a minimum of $500,000 USD in a Turkish bank for 3 years.
  • Fixed Capital: Make a fixed capital investment of $500,000 USD.

Nexpo Law Firm, with our proven track record and deep legal expertise, can guide you seamlessly through the process of obtaining Turkish citizenship via investment.

Benefits of Turkish Citizenship

Acquiring a second citizenship is not just about a passport; it's about freedom and opportunity. With Turkish citizenship, you gain:

  • Visa-Free Travel: Access to over 110 countries without a visa.
  • Business Opportunities: Expand your horizons with a strategic base between Europe and Asia.
  • Education & Healthcare: Access high-quality, free or subsidized systems for your family.
  • E-2 Visa Treaty: Turkey is an E-2 treaty country with the USA, offering a potential path to US residency.

Investment Options Explained

The Turkish government offers several investment pathways. While the Real Estate option is the most popular, it is crucial to understand the nuances.

Real Estate Investment ($400,000)

You can purchase one or multiple properties totaling $400,000. The key condition is a "3-year sale restriction" annotation on the title deed. You can rent the property and generate income during this period.

"The property must not be sold for three years, but the investor is free to enjoy rental yields immediately."

The Application Process

Navigating the legalities can be complex. Typically, the process involves obtaining a Tax ID, opening a bank account, making the investment, and then applying for the Certificate of Conformity.

Once the investment is confirmed, the residency permit is issued, followed immediately by the citizenship application. The entire timeline is approximately 3 to 6 months.

Very informative guide! I have a question regarding the bank deposit option. Can the amount be deposited in multiple currencies (e.g., partly USD and partly Euro)?

Hello James, thank you for your comment. Yes, the regulation allows for the equivalent of $500,000 USD. It is possible to use a mix, but the total value must meet the requirement at the date of deposit. We recommend consulting with us before the transaction to ensure compliance.
