Overview
Türkiye offers an attractive citizenship-by-investment program that grants citizenship and a passport in a relatively short time to foreign investors who meet the minimum investment requirement.
Benefits of Turkish Citizenship
Turkish passport holders enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 114 countries, including Japan, Serbia, and Hong Kong.
Applicants are not required to renounce their original citizenship, as Türkiye allows dual nationality.
Once the investment requirement is fulfilled, the citizenship application is typically completed within 3 to 6 months.
Applicants may choose from several qualifying investments, including real estate, fixed bank deposits, government bonds, or investment funds.
Turkish citizenship is permanent and can be passed down to future generations under qualifying conditions.
With its mild climate and favorable location between Asia and Europe, Türkiye remains an appealing choice for citizenship acquisition.
