Turkey Citizenship-by-Investment

Turkey Citizenship by Investment Program offers applicants and their families the opportunity to obtain Turkish citizenship through qualifying investments. Launched in 2017, this program provides a straightforward route to acquiring a Turkish passport, granting access to a vibrant economy and a strategic location bridging Europe and Asia.

What makes this program unique is that there is no requirement for donations or residency. Applicants can simply make an investment—such as buying property—and benefit from it while also obtaining a relatively strong second passport. The program has become very popular in recent years, and many applicants have seen their investments grow significantly thanks to the rising property market in Turkey.
