Turkey Citizenship by Investment

Turkish passport holders can apply for a unique Businessperson visa to reside in the UK and an E-2 visa for long-term residency in the USA. While depositing in Turkish financial institutions is an option, property investment remains the most popular choice among investors for obtaining Turkish citizenship.

A Brief Introduction to Turkey

Turkey’s warm, sunny climes ensure that it remains a popular tourist hotspot, but it is so much more than just a resort destination. From ancient Ephesus (Efes) to the magnificent curve of Aya Sofya’s Byzantine dome, Turkey is home to many world-famous cultural and historic monuments. Influenced by an impressive list of historical figures and civilisations – the Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans – have all left their distinctive marks on this important stop along the Silk Road. Experiencing this mighty legacy for yourself from İstanbul’s sprawling Topkapı Palace to the mysterious Lycian ruins is just one of the many benefits of obtaining Turkish citizenship by investment.

The country boasts a plethora of picturesque landscapes, but perhaps the most beautiful is to be found in Asian Anatolia, where visitors can enjoy breathtaking vistas provided by the sheer Mediterranean coastline and Cappadocia’s rocky ‘fairy chimney’ formations and wavy valleys provide an otherwordly view.

Turkey offers activities to suit every any taste. Soak in the warm sapphire waters of Patarap or kayak over Kekova’s sunken ruins. Take to the skies in a hot-air balloon ride over Cappadocia or trek along the Lycian Way. In Turkey, adventure, relaxation and cultural enrichment are never far from view.

The Turkish citizenship program provides enviable opportunities to also access the UK and USA. In order to apply for a Turkish passport, the program requires that an investor elects to either deposit funds in a Turkish financial institution or purchase property. The reduced investment amount, fast-paced process and flourishing real estate market makes the Turkish program an increasingly popular citizenship solution.
