As per the regulations published in the Turkish Official Gazette on September 18, 2018; foreigners who buy real estate worth a minimum of 400.000 USD or equivalent in any other foreign currency, will be able to apply for Turkish citizenship.

Unlike other nationality programs offered by different countries, the acquisition of Turkish Citizenship is attractive for foreign investors as the application can be made immediately after the purchase of the real estate. The procedures are easy and fast.

With our professional guidance once you decide to buy a property, the buying procedures will be completed within one day. The next day, you can give Power of Attorney to an independent lawyer which we will introduce you to. The whole process for the application of Turkish Citizenship will be followed up on your behalf and your passport will be ready within 60 days.

You will first meet one of our sales consultants either in your hotel or in our office as you prefer. Our experienced sales consultant will be ready to answer all your questions related to the real estate sector in Turkey. You will visit the real estate projects and properties you would like to see together and you will be given a presentation in each one of them. Once you decide to proceed with any of the offers, usually a reservation fee is paid to reserve the property under your name which you can pay also by credit card.

We know that your priority is the ROI for your real estate purchase which is also our priority. There will be hundreds of eligible properties for the Turkish citizenship application. We will make sure this property will be the best option which will also match your requirements and expectations for your future benefits.

Next, we will help you to get a tax number which you will need in the future for several needs. The tax number can be taken from any tax office in half an hour by only providing your passport and filling the required form with your presence.

For the payment of your property purchase, you have the option to pay your down payment from your country when you go back or from a Turkish bank account which you can open very easily. (read the 4th step to see whether you will need to open a bank account or not)

In order to open a bank account, you will need the following; tax number (1), your original passport (2), your address statement which can be an electricity or gas bill from your country of origin (3). We will take you to a bank where you can open an account easiest depending on your nationality. Opening a bank account will take around 1 hour.

Same-day or the following, we can take you to meet one of the law firms we collaborate with. We are working with three law firms who are experienced in the Turkish citizenship process. They have already completed numerous applications for foreign real estate investors. They will be ready to answer all your questions related to the topic. They will also explain to you the whole procedure and steps until the receiving of your new Turkish passport.

After the meeting, we will go to a notary together for you to give Power of Attorney (POA) to the lawyer. With the POA, the lawyer will be able to follow up on all your application on your behalf. You can leave the country the next day.

If you decide to buy a key-ready (completed) property, you will need to make cash payment for the purchase in most cases (whereas payment plans can be offered as well depending on the property). If you decide buying an off-plan (under construction) property, again the payment can be requested cash or with a payment plan.

The important thing here is, you will need to complete a minimum down payment of 400.000 USD in order the procedures to start for Turkish citizenship application.

Let’s consider you are buying the property off-plan and with a payment plan. The down payment should be minimum 400.000 USD. You will also need to sign a “Notary Sales Contract” with the developer in such a scenario where you will be promising not to sell your property for 3 years which is a condition for the Turkish citizenship application.

If you are buying the property cash, directly your title deed will be prepared after you complete your payment for the purchase. In this scenario, non-salable record for 3 years will be added to your title deed in the title deed office by the lawyer for you to be eligible for the Turkish citizenship application.

Regarding the payment of your real estate purchase, you have the option to transfer the required amount from your bank account back in your country or from the new Turkish bank account which you can open. If you choose to transfer the payment from your country, the sender for the bank account should match your full name exactly the same as your passport. If you choose to transfer the payment from the new Turkish bank account of your own, the sender will be you anyhow as requested from the Turkish government. You can transfer the amount full or partial to your Turkish bank account before this as you wish from any account and any sender.

In both cases, bank receipts for the transfers to the seller of the property will be required with wet signature confirmed by the bank for the citizenship application. In general, transferring from a Turkish bank account is easier as we can control things easier. However, with our right guidance, you can make the transfer from your country without any problems.

When your title deed is ready or the notary sales contract is signed, your application for the Turkish citizenship will start immediately. We will inform you within 60 days when your new Turkish passport is ready. Contact Us Now
