Turkey Citizenship by Investment Program

Citizenship is a function of Eurasian strategic leverage

Turkey’s programme sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, offering citizenship for investment in real estate, capital assets, or business. For those seeking a strong geographical base and diversified market access, Turkey remains a heavy-weight option.

Program Overview

Launched January 2017, the programme has been regularly updated; as of 2025 the minimum investment thresholds remain at USD 400,000–500,000 for real estate and related options.

Key Advantages

• Full citizenship (not just residency) granted to investor and family, no long-term residency requirement.

• Strategic location: access to Türkiye’s Eurasian markets, culture, infrastructure.

• Family inclusion: spouse and dependent children below age 18 (and disabled children at any age) qualify.

Investment Options & Requirements

• Real estate purchase: Minimum USD 400,000 (2025) with three-year holding.

• Other routes: USD 500,000 investment in fixed capital, bank deposit, government bonds, or venture capital fund; 3-year hold.

Process & Eligibility

• Must use an accredited intermediary/law-firm for application.

• Enhanced due-diligence: strict source-of-funds, verification of property title deed annotations, physical presence for biometrics.

• Investment must remain for at least three years.

Important Considerations

• Investment thresholds are significant and subject to periodic increases — must monitor for amendments.

• The Turkish real-estate market may have regional risks (e.g., building permit/regulation changes).

• Dual citizenship is permitted, but investors must assess tax and legal implications in their home country.

Conclusion

Turkey’s Citizenship by Investment programme is a well-established, substantial pathway for investors seeking deep Eurasian exposure, a robust citizenship, and inclusion of family. It demands a meaningful investment and compliance, but offers real strategic value in return.
