Why Choose Turkey Citizenship by Investment?

Strategic Europe-Asia Bridge Location

Turkey's unique position bridging Europe and Asia makes it an ideal base for international business. With access to European markets through customs union membership and growing Asian trade relationships, Turkish citizenship provides strategic advantages for global entrepreneurs.

Growing Economy with Strong Fundamentals

As a G20 member with one of the world's fastest-growing economies, Turkey offers excellent investment opportunities. The real estate market in major cities like Istanbul and Ankara has shown consistent growth, providing both citizenship benefits and investment returns.

Rich Cultural Heritage and Modern Infrastructure

Turkey combines ancient history with modern development, offering world-class infrastructure, healthcare, and education systems. The country's rich cultural heritage and strategic importance make it an attractive long-term residence option.

Strong Real Estate Investment Potential

The Turkish real estate market offers excellent investment potential, particularly in major cities. Properties purchased for citizenship can provide rental income and capital appreciation, making it a practical investment beyond citizenship benefits.

Turkey Investment Program Details

Real Estate Investment Option

The most popular route requires a minimum $500,000 real estate purchase. Properties can include residential, commercial, or land investments. Investors must hold the property for at least 3 years but can generate rental income and benefit from capital appreciation.

Business Investment Alternative

Alternatively, investors can make a $500,000 fixed capital investment in a Turkish business that creates at least 50 jobs for Turkish citizens. This route is ideal for entrepreneurs looking to establish operations in Turkey's growing market.

Application Process & Timeline

The Turkish citizenship application process typically takes 3-6 months from property purchase completion. Due diligence is conducted by Turkish authorities, and successful applicants receive citizenship certificates and can apply for Turkish passports.

Family Inclusion Benefits

Turkish citizenship extends to spouse and dependent children under 18 at no additional investment cost. Adult children and parents can obtain citizenship through separate applications but can benefit from the same property investment if structured properly.
