Turkish Citizenship by Investment 2026
Your capital stays invested. Your freedom grows.
A property from USD 400,000 or an investment from USD 500,000. Hold it for three years. And your wealth opens the way to a second citizenship.

You created wealth. Now your wealth creates a second home.
You buy a property. You invest capital. You make a business decision.
And the result reaches far beyond the investment itself.
You become a citizen of a second country.
Türkiye grants citizenship to foreign investors under Article 12 of Turkish Citizenship Law No. 5901 and Article 20(2) of its implementing regulation (BKK 2010/139, last amended by Decision 7938 of 12 December 2023).
The authority in charge is the General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs (Nüfus ve Vatandaşlık İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü).
An investment in your wealth. And at the same time in your future as a citizen.
Property. Capital. Business. Your success opens the next door.
You have several ways to put your capital to work. What matters is which route fits your wealth and your goals.
- Real estate: From USD 400,000 you buy a property and hold it for three years. The restriction on sale is entered in the land register. Your property investment becomes the way to a second citizenship.
- Fixed capital investment: From USD 500,000 you put your capital to work for your new future as a citizen.
- Bank deposit: From USD 500,000, for three years. Your capital stays tied up as a bank deposit.
- Government bonds: From USD 500,000, for three years. You combine your investment with the path to naturalisation.
- Real estate or venture capital fund: From USD 500,000, for at least three years. Your fund holding opens the same path.
- Private pension: From USD 500,000, for three years. You invest in your retirement and in your additional citizenship.
- Jobs: At least 50 employees. For entrepreneurs whose business gives people a future at work.
Amounts are converted at the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye's foreign exchange selling rate on the day of assessment.
Real estate
400,000 USD
Holding period: three years, no-sale restriction entered in the land register
Your investment is fixed. The extra costs belong in the plan.
When you decide on large assets, you want to know what other costs arise.
For Türkiye, no programme fees are documented in the table.
The usual costs for the land register, valuations, translations and residence permits apply.
Your wealth should serve your family. So should your second citizenship.
You invest for your future. But you are probably thinking of more people than just yourself.
Your spouse. Your children.
You can include your foreign spouse and the minor or dependent children of you and your spouse.
A big decision for you. A further home as citizens for your family.

A valuable privilege calls for a binding investment.
You want to acquire Turkish citizenship. For that, you must keep your side of the bargain.
Before you apply, you need a residence permit under Article 31(1)(j) of Law No. 6458.
The investment must stay in place for the required period. Otherwise the naturalisation is revoked.
If you take on this commitment, treat it with the same care as any major decision about your wealth.

From your investment to your second passport.
It starts with your capital. It ends with a passport in your hand that records your new citizenship.
- Make the investment and have it confirmed by the competent body. You create the economic foundation.
- Apply for a residence permit. You meet the required residence condition.
- Application for naturalisation. Your path to Turkish citizenship officially begins.
- Review. Your application is assessed.
- Decision, naturalisation, ID card and passport. You become a Turkish citizen.
- Hold the investment for the holding period. You keep your commitment after naturalisation too.
A second passport. A further citizenship in your name.
You then belong to two nations.
With the passport you travel as a Turkish citizen.
Turkish citizens need a visa for the Schengen Area. Each destination country decides which doors open without a visa.
A new citizenship does not undo your existing tax residence.
Your investment opens a second passport for you. Your tax obligations are a separate question.
Citizenship alone does not change your tax liability in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. What counts is where you live.
For people who want more than a return.
You invest anyway.
In property. In financial assets. In holdings that fit your long-term plans.
Why should your capital bring you nothing but a financial return when it could also open the way to a second citizenship?
Türkiye is for applicants who want to keep their money in property or investments and have it back at their disposal after three years.
If you do not want to tie up money, choose a fund contribution in the Caribbean.
Your investment is tied up for a set time. The second citizenship is the real goal.
What you need to know before you invest.
From what amount do I get Turkish citizenship?
From USD 400,000 for real estate, from USD 500,000 for investments, deposits, bonds or funds.
Can I sell the property again?
Yes, after three years. Until then, a restriction on sale is entered in the land register.
Do I need a residence permit first?
Yes, under Article 31(1)(j) of Law No. 6458.
What happens if I sell earlier?
The naturalisation is revoked.
Can my family come too?
Your spouse and minor or dependent children.
Your second passport begins with a decision.
You have worked hard to build a life full of possibilities. Now it is about expanding them, for you and for your family. Talk to Daniel Taborek about your budget, your family and the route to your second citizenship. Find out which passport should enrich your future.
