Getting Turkish citizenship through investment involves a clear and detailed procedure. Here's how it works:
You begin by selecting a qualified investment option. Most applicants buy real estate that costs at least $400,000 and agree to hold onto it for at least three years. Other applicants invest $500,000 in a Turkish bank, purchase government bonds, or acquire shares in a Turkish venture capital fund. Once you make the investment, you apply for a Certificate of Eligibility from the applicable authority that further proves that your investment meets the standard for the citizenship program.
When you have received your Certificate of Eligibility, you can apply for a short-term residence access. This will enable you to stay legally in Turkey while your citizenship application is on its way. You don't need to live in Turkey year-round, but you need valid residency during the application window. The application is processed by the Provincial Directorate of Migration Management, and most people are granted a permit within a few weeks.
With your residence permit in hand, you now apply for Turkish citizenship. You submit your application to the Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs. This includes your personal documents, proof of investment, and the certificate confirming you meet the program requirements. Once submitted, the file goes to the Ministry of Interior for detailed review.
At this point, the government performs background checks on you and your family members. Authorities check your criminal record, look into your financial history, and ensure that your investment is from a legal source. Assuming all is well, you then move to the final decision stage of your application. This process typically lasts 3-6 months.
After you are approved, you will take the Oath of Allegiance and will receive your Certificate of Naturalization. You and your family members can now get a passport as Turkish citizens. As a Turkish, you'll be able to visit more than 120 countries, either visa-free or with a visa on arrival, and have the right to live, work, and do business in Turkey.
