What are the conditions for obtaining Turkish citizenship through real estate investment?

•The total value of the property or properties is equal to or exceeds $400,000 or its equivalent in Turkish lira, according to the exchange rate at the date of purchase.

•The investor must hold a nationality that allows him to own and invest in real estate, with the exception of citizens of North Korea and Syria.

•The investor pledges not to sell the property for a period of 3 years from the date of purchase.

•The property value must be consistent with the real estate appraisal report, which is carried out by companies licensed by the Turkish state.

• Transferring ownership and registering the property with the Land Registry Office in Türkiye in a proper manner.

•The property value must be paid by bank transfer only. Cash payment is not accepted.

•Purchase the property exclusively from a Turkish citizen or from a Turkish construction company in order to be eligible for Turkish citizenship.

Why is the Turkish citizenship program through real estate investment the best?

The main reason is that the amount actually represents an existing property, not a donation to a specific entity or government. Furthermore, real estate investment in Türkiye is powerful, as real estate generates a profit, either after three years or from the rental value of the property during those years.

If you want to invest in real estate, whether as an investment or for Turkish citizenship, you must consider the property's return on investment. This means purchasing properties that are financially viable, whether through rental income or the cumulative value of the property. Some investors have made the mistake of choosing the most beautiful property, for example, but the rental value or annual increase rate is negligible. However, purchasing a smaller, lower-priced property, of course, as an investment value, would be a much greater profit.
