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

  1. 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"

  1. 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."

🔹 After-Sales Service: How It Works

Yuri is still using the company’s support:

What they helped with:

  • Furniture selection – found a factory that made custom-sized sofas

  • Insurance – helped choose the best policy

  • Bank transfers – accompanied us to a branch of İş Bankası

"Many agencies disappear after the deal. Here, I know I can always call and get help."

🔹 Yuri’s Advice to Future Buyers

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

  • Choose a reliable real estate agency – "Make sure they offer full-cycle services"

  • Visit in person – "Get a feel for the neighborhood, transport, and shops"

  • Use after-sales service – "Saves time and nerves"

"Now is the best time to buy – prices haven’t skyrocketed yet, and there’s a huge selection."

🔹 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"
Passive income – the apartment is rented for 3 months in summer at $3,000/month

"If we had known how great it is here, we would’ve moved sooner. Now we’re convincing our friends!"
