How to obtain Turkish citizenship

After the Turkish government revised its citizenship decision in 2018, obtaining Turkish citizenship has become easier through methods such as property ownership, investment, and bank deposits.

Obtaining Turkish citizenship through property ownership is considered one of the most effective, quick, and worthwhile methods. It allows individuals to benefit from owning a home in Turkey and enjoy living in a developed and progressive country. Additionally, the property can be invested in by renting it out if there is no intention to live in it, or sold after three years to receive substantial financial returns.

Therefore, acquiring Turkish citizenship through property ownership is an ideal opportunity for ownership and investment, while simultaneously benefiting from a strong Turkish passport.

Property ownership

Purchasing property with a value exceeding 400,000 USD, with the condition that it cannot be sold for 3 years.

Investment

Turkish citizenship can be obtained through investment in Turkey with a capital of no less than 500,000 USD.

Bank deposit

Turkish citizenship can be obtained by depositing an amount of no less than 500,000 USD in a Turkish bank for at least 3 years.

Financial Manager

In 2021, I visited Turkey for the first time and loved the country, so I decided to invest in order to obtain Turkish citizenship. Although the real estate field was new to me, I contacted many companies without feeling comfortable. Then a friend recommended Turk Key Company to me, which he felt friendly and honest with. I bought two units through it and got citizenship, then I bought another unit. By the grace of God, the value of all the units increased and the investment was very successful.
