Citizenship by Investment Program Overview
Welcome to Türkiye, where East meets West in a dynamic fusion of culture, history, and opportunity. Whether you’re looking for a welcoming place to explore historical and cultural wonders dating to the birth of civilization, bask on the warm Mediterranean coastline, or enhance your network and business opportunities, there’s something for everyone in Türkiye.
From bustling metropolises like Istanbul to picturesque coastal towns along the Aegean and Mediterranean shores, Türkiye offers a diversity of culture and lifestyle for every interest.
With a population of over 80 million, Türkiye’s economy is characterized by its resilience and diversification. The country has undergone significant economic reforms in recent years, fostering an investor-friendly environment with a modern infrastructure network, world-class facilities and incentives to facilitate business growth. Furthermore, Türkiye’s strategic position along major trade routes presents lucrative opportunities for businesses looking to expand their global reach.
Situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Türkiye welcomes you with open arms to discover a rich tapestry of cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality.
In order to apply for a Turkish passport, the program requires that an investor elects to either deposit funds in a Turkish financial institution or purchase property. The reduced investment amount, fast-paced process and flourishing real estate market makes the Turkish program an increasingly popular citizenship solution.
Key Advantages
- Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 110 destinations including Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore.
- Eligibility for an E-2 Investor Visa in the USA after living in Türkiye for three years, renewable every five years.
- Full citizenship granted to the applicant as well as included family members.

Requirements / Investment Options
To qualify for citizenship, the main applicant should fulfill one of the following investment requirements:
OPTION 1
Deposit at least USD 500,000 into a Turkish bank account.
OPTION 2
Acquire at least USD 400,000 worth of real estate.
The main applicant may include their spouse, dependent children below the age of 18, and children of any age who are living with disabilities in their application.
Process Overview
Upon choosing an investment option, a residence permit application will be submitted on behalf of the family.
The main applicant is then required to open a bank account in Türkiye. Once all application documents have been prepared (including applicable certifications and translations), the investment can be completed, and the documents submitted to the government. Contributions must be made in Turkish lira, equivalent to the USD amount. Successful applicants are required to visit the country to submit biometrics for the residence application. Applications are typically approved within three to five months, following which the citizenship documents are issued. The passport application can then be submitted.
If the main applicant decides to invest on a property in Türkiye, our law firm can follow up regarding the acquisition of the property and then fulfil the legal requirements for the application of citizenship.
Please note that Turkish gift and inheritance taxes apply to worldwide assets held by Turkish citizens. Our law firm can provide you with professional advice in this regard.
