Turkish citizenship through investment — handled by a legal team that knows every route.
The process typically takes 6 to 8 months and covers your spouse and children under 18.
Turkey as a Citizenship Jurisdiction
Turkey’s citizenship by investment programme was established by the Turkish government in 2017 and has since become one of the most active programmes of its kind globally. The programme is administered directly by the Ministry of Interior and the General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs — it is a statutory government process, not a private scheme.
Since its introduction, the programme has processed tens of thousands of approved applications from investors across more than 100 countries. The Turkish passport is a standard government-issued travel document carrying full civil rights — not a separate investor category or a restricted instrument.
Turkey’s position bridging Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, combined with its large domestic economy, established banking system, and active real estate market, makes it one of the few jurisdictions where the qualifying investment carries genuine underlying value — not simply a fee paid in exchange for a document.
