Turkoiz Property is your trusted guide to obtaining a valuable Turkish Passport through a strategic real estate investment. For a minimum of $400,000 USD in government-approved property, you can secure citizenship for yourself and your family in as little as 6 to 8 months.
This comprehensive guide breaks down the requirements, the unparalleled benefits, and the straightforward process, ensuring your investment is both profitable and compliant.
Step 1: Understanding the $400,000 Real Estate Investment Requirement
The Turkish Citizenship by Investment program is one of the world’s most accessible routes to a second passport.
The most popular option is the Real Estate Investment path, which requires:
Minimum Investment: Purchase of property (or multiple properties) with a minimum combined value of $400,000 USD (or equivalent in Turkish Lira).
Holding Period: You must commit to holding the property for a minimum of 3 years. A legal no-sale annotation is placed on the title deed (Tapu) to enforce this.
Official Valuation: The value must be confirmed by an official, government-approved valuation report, ensuring the transaction is compliant.
⚠️ Turkoiz Insight: The investment threshold was updated from $250,000 to $400,000 in June 2022. This change has led to safer investments and better quality properties qualifying for the program. We exclusively present CBI-compliant properties with guaranteed valuation reports.
🌐 The Unmatched Benefits of a Turkish Passport
A Turkish passport offers significant global mobility and economic security that few other CBI programs can match.
Global Mobility: Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 110 countries, including key destinations like Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong.
USA E-2 Treaty Investor Visa Eligibility: Turkish citizenship can make you eligible to apply for the US E-2 Treaty Investor Visa, offering a pathway for you and your family to live and conduct business in the United States.
Family Inclusion: The citizenship extends to your spouse and dependent children under the age of 18.
No Residency or Language Requirement: You are not required to relocate or live in Turkey before or after obtaining citizenship. There are also no language proficiency tests.
Dual Citizenship Allowed: Turkey permits you to hold your original nationality alongside your new Turkish citizenship.
🏡 Investment Strategy: Rent, Live, or Sell?
One of the biggest advantages of the Turkish CBI program is the flexibility regarding the property use—making it a smart investment move.
Rental Income: You can immediately rent out your apartment or villa to generate a steady stream of passive income, offsetting your initial investment costs.
Second Home: Use your property as a luxury holiday home or a retirement base in a desirable location like Istanbul real estate or the Mediterranean coast.
Capital Appreciation: After the mandatory 3-year holding period, you are free to sell the property. Turkey’s dynamic real estate market, especially in prime urban centers, offers significant potential for capital growth.
🗺️ The Simplified Turkish Citizenship Application Process (6-8 Months)
The process is fast and efficient when guided by the right legal and property experts. Turkoiz Property manages this entire process for you:
Property Selection: We help you identify a qualifying property (or portfolio) that meets the $400K minimum based on your investment goals.
Investment & Title Deed: The property purchase is finalized, and a no-sale annotation is added to the Tapu (title deed).
Certificate of Eligibility: We apply for and secure the official Certificate of Eligibility from the Land Registry.
Residence Permit: A temporary residence permit is obtained for all applicants.
Citizenship Application Submission: Your lawyer submits the full application dossier to the Ministry of Interior.
Approval & Passport Issuance: Citizenship is approved, and your Turkish ID and Turkish Passport are issued.
💡 Important Note: The application involves administrative fees, a Title Deed Transfer Tax (4% of the sale price, often split), and legal fees. Be wary of any agency claiming zero costs outside the investment. Turkoiz provides a full, transparent breakdown upfront.
