A closer look at Türkiye
Questions clients ask first
Is this an immediate passport program?
Only citizenship programs can lead directly to citizenship following approval and completion. Residence programs provide a residence status. Any later citizenship route is separate and subject to the law in force at that time.
Can my family apply with me?
Spouse and dependent children under 18 may be included. Exact age, dependency, marital-status and relationship rules must be checked for every person before engagement.
What is the minimum commitment?
USD 400,000 real estate investment. This is a headline reference only and is not an all-in cost.
What should I understand before proceeding?
Investment must be completed and maintained in accordance with Turkish rules. Currency conversion, valuation and title checks require local professional support.
