Turkish Citizenship Programme
Foreigners who make one of the following investments may apply for Turkish citizenship. Citizenship by investment is granted by Presidential decision (Turkish Citizenship Law No. 5901, Art. 12), so approval is never automatic:
- 400,000 $ property investment
- a fixed-capital investment of at least $500,000, certified by the Ministry of Industry and Technology
- deposit 500,000 $ in State investment instruments or state banks operating in Turkey provided that they do not withdraw such amount for three years
- employ 50 employees in Turkey.
What Turkish citizenship gives you
- A Turkish passport (issued for up to 10 years) with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to many countries. The list changes, so check it before you travel.
- The right to live and work in Turkey without a residence or work permit.
- Access to public education, healthcare and the social security system on the same terms as other citizens.
- The right to vote and to stand for election.
- Turkey allows dual citizenship; check whether your current country does too.
- Citizenship also brings obligations, for example possible military service for men. Ask us, or an independent lawyer, how they apply to you before you invest.

Frequently asked questions
How much do I need to invest for Turkish citizenship?
As of 2026, the main routes are: a property purchase of at least $400,000, held three years; $500,000 in a bank deposit, government bonds, investment fund shares or private pension contributions, each held three years; a $500,000 fixed-capital investment certified by the Ministry of Industry and Technology; or the creation of 50 jobs. Thresholds are set by the government and can change - we help you check the current figures for your case.
How long does Turkish citizenship by investment take?
There is no official processing time. Applications commonly take about 6 to 12 months from the qualifying investment to the passport, depending on the case and the authorities' workload.
Can I sell the property afterwards?
A three-year sale restriction is noted on the title deed, and you can rent the property out during that time. The restriction ends after three years. Citizenship obtained through an investment that did not meet every condition can be revoked, so the purchase and valuation must be right from the start.
Can my family get citizenship too?
Yes - your spouse and your or your spouse's minor or dependent children can be included in the application.
Do I have to live in Turkey to qualify?
There is no minimum physical-residence requirement for citizenship by investment.
