The main routes currently include real estate investment and bank deposit.
Real estate investment usually requires purchasing property with a total value of no less than USD 400,000; the bank deposit route usually requires a USD 500,000 deposit in a Turkish bank and compliance with the statutory holding requirement.
The overall process usually takes about 4–8 months. The exact timing depends on the investment route, completeness of documents, authority review pace and individual case circumstances.
Long-term residence is generally not required, and there is no traditional residence obligation. Some steps may require presence or authorized handling depending on the project route and current execution requirements.
Generally, the main applicant’s spouse and minor children can be included. Different family structures, ages and special circumstances should be reviewed case by case.
The statutory holding period must usually be met, with the mainstream rule being 3 years. During the holding period, the asset may not be disposed of in a way that violates policy requirements.
Not necessarily. Subject to compliance requirements, applicants may meet the investment threshold by purchasing one or multiple eligible properties, provided the properties meet valuation, title, compliance declaration and policy requirements.
Türkiye generally allows dual citizenship. Applicants should still confirm the rules and legal implications of dual citizenship in their original country of nationality.
A Turkish passport can support global mobility, family identity planning, asset allocation, international education arrangements and certain overseas business layouts. The core use varies by client and should be designed around family structure, asset goals and travel needs.
Both routes suit different types of applicants. Real estate is more suitable for those who want to allocate overseas property at the same time; bank deposit is more suitable for those who prefer a financial asset route and simpler holding management. The choice should be based on capital arrangement, liquidity needs and family objectives.
For families focused on mobility, identity reserve, asset allocation and international lifestyle planning, Türkiye citizenship by investment offers strong integrated value. Whether it is suitable for long-term planning still requires a comprehensive assessment of nationality background, business arrangements, education plans and global asset layout.
