Turkiye Citizenship by Investment

Turkiye has an active exceptional citizenship-by-investment framework. The route is most often discussed through the USD 400,000 real-estate option, but official materials also list capital investment, job creation, bank deposit, government bond, fund-share, and private-pension routes.

Good Fit

Turkiye can fit applicants who want a non-EU citizenship route, have a genuine investment plan in Turkiye, and can withstand property, banking, currency, sanctions, tax, and source-of-funds checks.

Poor Fit

It is a poor fit for applicants seeking EU rights, assured approval, weak fund documentation, or a property purchase that has not been independently checked for title, valuation, debt, resale restriction, and exit risk.
