How to get Turkish citizenship?

How to get Turkish citizenship?
Turkish citizenship is achievable through several methods, including proving ancestry, marriage, starting a business, or working in Turkey for five years. However, the most popular and expedient method is purchasing real estate in Turkey. Each of these pathways has its unique characteristics, requirements, and timelines. Contributing to the country's economy is the quickest route to citizenship. Additionally, the spouses and children of the main applicant can also qualify for Turkish citizenship.

Investing a minimum of $400,000 in Turkish real estate is the most common way to become a resident of the country. It is important to note that recent changes to the citizenship by investment law now prohibit obtaining a Turkish passport by purchasing land plots without buildings. Previously, to apply for citizenship through a simplified scheme, it was sufficient to buy land for construction or agricultural purposes. Now, only plots with existing buildings qualify for citizenship.

If your goal is to obtain Turkish citizenship through investment, the experts at RestProperty will assist you in selecting the appropriate property and handling all necessary documentation to obtain a Turkish passport.
