Citizenship by Investment Under Turkish Nationality Law

Foreign investors acquiring real estate in Turkey meeting statutory threshold criteria are eligible for Turkish citizenship under accelerated naturalization provisions.

1. Statutory Investment Thresholds

The real estate investment threshold requires purchasing property worth at least $400,000 USD (or foreign currency equivalent) with an official 3-year non-sale annotation (Satılamaz Şerhi) entered at the Land Registry Office.

2. Essential Due Diligence Requirements

  • Official Valuation Report: Mandatory appraisal from a Capital Markets Board (SPK) licensed valuation institution.
  • Foreign Currency Exchange Certificate (DAB): Converting foreign currency into Turkish Lira through the Central Bank of Turkey prior to conveyance.
