Overview

Türkiye grants citizenship to investors who buy real estate worth at least US$400,000 and keep it for three years, or who invest US$500,000 in a bank deposit, government bonds, a real estate or venture capital fund, or a fixed capital investment. It is the only citizenship programme backed by a G20, trillion-dollar economy.

Applications typically take 3–6 months, with no residence or language requirement. Following an August 2026 fraud crackdown, valuations and source-of-funds checks are stricter, which protects genuine investors.
