Turkish citizenship
Conditions for obtaining Turkish citizenship
After the last amendment issued by the Turkish government in the year 2022 the amount of investment for obtaining the Turkish citizenship was raised to be 400,000 $ through real-estate investment and remained 500,000 $ through bank deposits.
According to the law, a foreign citizen who buys a property or a group of properties with a value of at least 400,000 US dollars can directly obtain Turkish citizenship, providing that it can not sold for three years.
Other conditions that must be adhered to:

Important steps
- All documents and papers issued outside Turkey must be certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the country from which the document is issued and by the Turkish representation.
- A proof of nationality is required for some nationalities and can be obtained from the consulate or embassy in the same country.
- The presence of the stakeholders is not required to complete any of these stages, as it is possible by authorizing us with a special legal power of attorney to carry out all the procedures.
- If the investor is in Turkey, we provide him with the naturalization number so that he can receive the identities and passports in person in the presence of the lawyer.
- In the event that the investor is outside Turkey, we provide him with the naturalization number so that he can review the nearest consulate to receive the documents by himself.
