You can buy as many commercial or residential properties as you wish. It is sufficient if the sum of the amounts written on the Deed Documents exceeds 250,000 USD.

The real estate must be appraised by an authorized appraisal company with a special license and approved by the Land Registry and Cadastre Directorate. In addition, there are certain rules and restrictions regarding previous owners of the property. Therefore, we highly recommend you to ask for legal and real estate consultancy before you apply for the Turkish Citizenship by Investment Programme.

Depending on the workload of the official authorities, it results in an average of 3-4 months after receiving the title deed document.

When you become a citizen, your spouse and children under the age of 18 automatically gain citizenship within the same application process without making any additional investment.
