The Türkiye Citizenship by Investment Program gives an applicant at least 18 years old full legal citizenship and a passport in return for a qualifying investment, with citizenship valid for life and dual citizenship permitted. The route is a minimum USD 400,000 in real estate, which can be one or several properties, must be free of charges and encumbrances, and must be held for at least three years.
The real estate investment must be supported by an official valuation report issued by an authorized valuation company, together with a Certificate of Conformity confirming the authenticity of the investment and a Land Registry Certificate showing full ownership.
