Client Reviews of RestProperty: How Yuri Obtained Turkish Citizenship by Purchasing Real Estate in Alanya

🔹 Why Alanya?
Yuri:
"15 years ago, we vacationed here and never thought about moving. But when a friend told us how much the city had changed, we decided to take a look. After our first trip in 2022, we realized – we want to live here."
What impressed the family:
✅ Clean sea – Blue Flag beaches within walking distance
✅ Developed infrastructure – international schools, clinics, shopping centers
✅ Friendly locals – "Turkish people greet you with a smile, even in government offices"
🔹 How the Property Purchase Process Went
Choosing the Property
Yuri and his wife flew to Alanya for 3 days for in-person viewings.
"You can shortlist options online, but the final decision is best made on-site. We focused on:
Distance from the sea
Complex infrastructure
Transport accessibility"

RestProperty’s Support
-
Legal verification – experts checked the developer’s documents
-
Translator – accompanied us at every stage
-
Deal execution – helped open a bank account in Turkey
"Without knowing the language, we couldn’t have managed. The team solved even unexpected issues – for example, they helped get approval to move internal walls in the apartment."
🔹 Obtaining Turkish Citizenship: A Personal Experience
Yuri purchased real estate worth over $400,000 (the minimum threshold for the program) and received his passport within 11 months.
Steps of the process:
-
Document collection – notary translation of Russian papers
-
Application submission – through RestProperty’s migration lawyer
-
Waiting period – Ministry of Interior review took 8 months
-
Receiving the ID card and passport – "We picked them up in Ankara in 1 day"
Important:
✔ Citizenship is granted to the whole family (spouses and children under 18)
✔ The investment must be held for 3 years
"We didn’t expect the process to go so smoothly. No hidden fees – everything was included in RestProperty’s service cost."

-
Don’t be afraid to take the leap – "Turkey is safe, and Alanya is perfect for families"

🔹 Results of the Move
✔ Turkish citizenship – visa-free travel to 110 countries, including Japan and Singapore
✔ Quality of life – "Our child stopped getting sick, and my wife’s allergies disappeared"
