Turkish Citizenship By Investment

Everything You Need To Know

Turkey announced the Citizenship by investment program in 2016 to initiate foreign direct investment and improve the real estate sector. Under this scheme, investors can decide how much money is needed for their contribution, from buying property to changing official papers or getting involved in a business. 

When Turkey’s Citizenship by investment program was launched, the government cited the entry cost of at least $1 million. Thus, this did not attract many investors because the amount set was higher than expected. Therefore, the Turkish government lowered the cost to $250,000 in mid-2019 to entice more people to become investors.

The country was making an average of $250 million from foreign investors each month. As the number of investors willing to obtain Turkish Citizenship continuously increases, the minimum cost of acquiring Turkish Citizenship as a foreigner has been raised to $400,000.
