- Business Opportunities: Expand your horizons with a strategic base between Europe and Asia.

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.

January 16, 2026 at 10:30 AMVery 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)?

January 16, 2026 at 11:15 AMHello 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.
