Investment
We manage the complete legal process for Turkish citizenship by investment — from eligibility assessment and investment structure to application filing and passport issuance.
We provide comprehensive legal services for every stage of property ownership in Turkey — from initial due diligence and purchase through to management and tax compliance. Every transaction is fully verified before any commitment is made.
We handle the full legal process of establishing a business entity in Turkey — from selecting the appropriate structure and drafting constitutional documents to completing registration and obtaining all required operating permits.
We manage the full range of Turkish immigration procedures for individuals, families, and companies relocating to or operating in Turkey — handling every document, filing, and government appointment on your behalf.
We represent international companies and entrepreneurs on corporate matters in Turkey — covering M&A transactions, share transfers, general assembly proceedings, board resolutions, and ongoing AML compliance obligations.
Whether property, citizenship, or company —
your Turkish legal process starts here.
Whether you are acquiring property, applying for citizenship, or establishing a legal entity — NLI Global manages the complete legal process on your behalf, from initial filing through to completion.
Every legal obligation.
Managed on your behalf.
Turkish citizenship and real estate law involve overlapping statutory requirements. Each obligation below is one we handle in full — so nothing falls through the jurisdictional gaps.
We conduct a full land registry search on every property — confirming ownership chain, encumbrances, mortgage status, and citizenship eligibility — before any purchase agreement is executed.
We act on your behalf throughout the entire procedure. You are not required to be present at government offices, notaries, or land registry appointments. We represent you at every filing.
Our Istanbul-based legal team has managed over 280 citizenship applications across 47 nationalities. We know the statutory requirements, the applicable thresholds, and where applications fail.
Each citizenship route carries distinct legal obligations — minimum holding periods, valuation requirements, and restricted transaction structures. We assess your eligibility and structure your investment accordingly.
Turkish citizenship applications are governed by strict procedural timelines. We track every statutory deadline, prepare documentation in advance, and coordinate all government appointments on your behalf.
A property acquisition for citizenship purposes engages multiple legal disciplines simultaneously. We handle title deed transfer, residence permit filing, and tax registration as a single coordinated legal process.
From the clients
we represent.
We applied as a family of four. NLI identified a qualifying property, handled all the legal checks, and submitted the full application on our behalf. We received our passports in just under eight months without a single visit to a government office.
We purchased an apartment in Istanbul as a buy-to-let investment. NLI conducted the full title deed verification, drafted the purchase contract, and handled the land registry transfer. The entire transaction was completed without us travelling to Turkey.
NLI guided me through the full sale of my Istanbul apartment. Before we started, they gave me a clear picture of every stage — the legal process, the applicable taxes, and the exact payment schedule. I always knew what to expect next.
As a first-time buyer in Istanbul, I had a lot of questions. NLI reviewed every document thoroughly and explained each step in plain English. I felt fully informed before signing anything.
I own two properties in Istanbul but live abroad. NLI manages both — collecting rent, handling taxes, and dealing with tenants. I receive a monthly transfer and a clear statement. It runs completely without my involvement.
I had a will in my home country but NLI explained that it would not automatically cover my Turkish property. They drafted a Turkish will and set up a power of attorney within two weeks. A straightforward process I should have done years earlier.
Complex transactions.
Turkish legal expertise.
NLI Global manages complex legal matters across property, citizenship, company formation, immigration, and corporate law. Every file is handled by qualified Turkish lawyers — from first instruction through to completion.
