From First Call to Turkish Passport

1. Free Consultation & Eligibility Review (2 - 5+ days)
We start with a no-obligation discovery call to understand your goals and assess your eligibility. Our team conducts an internal due diligence check — reviewing your background, financial profile, and any sensitivities — before we recommend a route. Transparency at this stage saves time and ensures a clean application later.
2. Choose Your Investment & Legal Engagement (1 - 3+ weeks)
Once we've identified the right investment route for you, we partner you with our in-country legal team in Türkiye. For real estate, our property specialists shortlist qualifying options that align with your preferences and budget. For capital routes, our financial advisors guide fund selection. An initial payment secures your legal support and formally kicks off the process.
3. Investment Completion & Title/Agreement (2 - 4 weeks)
For real estate: the property transaction is completed, an authorized SPK valuation confirms the qualifying value, and a 3-year no-sale annotation is registered on the title deed. For bank deposits or capital investments: funds are transferred via a licensed Turkish bank, converted to Turkish lira at the official CBRT rate, and a Foreign Exchange Purchase Certificate (DAB) is issued — a critical document for your citizenship file.
4. Document Preparation & Application Filing (2 - 4 weeks)
Our legal team compiles your complete file: passport copies, a clean criminal record certificate (required for both the main applicant and spouse), proof of investment, KYC documentation, and supporting evidence. Every document is certified, translated, and verified. The application is submitted to the Directorate General of Migration Management for your initial residence permit, and simultaneously to the Presidency of Migration Management for the citizenship review.
5. Travel to Türkiye — Biometrics & Residence Permit
Both the main applicant and spouse must be present in Türkiye for fingerprinting, photography, and a brief medical examination. This is the only physical requirement — and most clients combine it with a property viewing trip. Children are not required to attend. Once biometrics are submitted, your temporary residence permit is typically issued within a few business days.
6. Due Diligence Review & Citizenship Approval (3 - 4 months)
The Turkish government conducts a thorough background and due diligence review of all applicants. This stage typically takes 3–4 months and is the most important part of the process — it ensures that every passport issued under the program meets the highest integrity standards. We monitor your file closely throughout and keep you updated at every milestone.
7. Receive Your Turkish Passport
Upon citizenship approval, you and your eligible family members receive Turkish citizenship documents. Your Turkish passport — valid for 10 years — is then issued and ready to collect. From this point, you are a Turkish citizen, with all the rights and privileges that come with it. Your investment begins its 3-year holding period, after which it can be liquidated or retained.

Frequently Asked Question

What is the minimum investment for Turkish citizenship in 2026?
As of 2026, the minimum investment remains at $400,000 for real estate. Other routes — such as bank deposits or investment fund shares — require $500,000. There were discussions about raising the real estate threshold, but no change has been implemented. Our team monitors these developments closely and will advise you accordingly.
Can my spouse and children be included in one application?
Yes — and this is one of the program's most attractive features. Your spouse, children under 18, and children of any age with disabilities can all be included under a single application at no additional investment cost. As of 2024, spouses are also required to obtain a Turkish residence permit as part of the process.
How long does the application process take?
The overall process typically takes between 3 and 6 months. The due diligence review — where the Turkish government verifies your background and investment documents — is usually the longest stage at around 3–4 months. An expedited "fast-track" option is available for an additional fee, potentially reducing the passport timeline to around 3 months.
Can I get my investment back after obtaining citizenship?
Yes. Your investment must be maintained for a minimum of 3 years. After that period, you are free to sell the property, withdraw the deposit, or liquidate your fund shares. The investment is a qualifying requirement, not a donation — meaning the capital is yours to recover. Real estate can also generate rental income throughout the holding period.
Will I need to give up my current citizenship?
Türkiye fully supports dual (or multiple) citizenship. You keep your current passport and add a Turkish one alongside it. There is no renunciation required on Türkiye's part — though you should check your home country's laws regarding dual nationality, as some countries have restrictions.
Is there a language or culture test for this program?
No. Unlike traditional naturalization routes, the citizenship-by-investment program does not require Turkish language proficiency, a culture test, or any integration requirements. Your application is assessed solely on the qualifying investment and background checks.
