Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about Turkish citizenship through property investment.

Ask us your question
What are the other ways to obtain Turkish citizenship?

Foreign nationals can obtain Turkish citizenship through various legal pathways such as marriage to a Turkish citizen, exceptional contribution to the country, or through investment programs. However, property investment remains the most popular and straightforward route for international investors.

How can I get Turkish citizenship by property investment?

A qualifying property purchase of at least $400,000 can support a citizenship application if a three-year restriction on resale is recorded in the land registry and all other requirements are met. Buying property does not automatically grant citizenship; approval is subject to the official decision.

Can my spouse and children also get Turkish citizenship?

Yes. The main applicant can include their spouse and children under 18 years of age in the application. Once approved, all family members receive full citizenship rights.

How long does the Turkish citizenship process take?

Processing time varies with document preparation, property checks and the official review. A fixed completion date cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need to learn Turkish to get citizenship?

No, there is no language requirement for obtaining Turkish citizenship through investment.

Can I hold dual citizenship?

Yes, Turkey allows dual or multiple citizenships. However, you should also check whether your home country permits dual citizenship.

What documents are required for Turkish citizenship by investment?

Required documents typically include a valid passport, notarized translations, biometric photos, proof of investment, title deed, valuation report, birth certificate, and health insurance. Additional documents may be required depending on your personal situation.

Do property investors also need a residence permit?

Yes. This investment route includes a short-term residence permit application as well as the citizenship application. Owning an eligible property does not replace those applications.

What are the main advantages of Turkish citizenship?

Turkish citizenship provides access to visa-free or visa-on-arrival travel to many countries, access to healthcare and education systems, and the right to live, work, and invest freely in Turkey.

Are there additional costs during the process?

Yes. Additional costs may include title deed fees, legal services, property valuation reports, translation and notary expenses, and insurance.
