More details
Turkey citizenship by investment is one of the world's most established investor-citizenship programs, governed by Turkish Citizenship Law No. 5901 and the implementing regulation administered by the Directorate General of Population and Citizenship Affairs (NVI) under the Ministry of Interior. Approved investors receive a Turkish passport with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to roughly 114 countries, United States E-2 Treaty Investor Visa eligibility, and dual citizenship without renunciation. Investment routes are verified by the Capital Markets Board (SPK) for real estate and fund routes, the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) for the bank deposit route, and the Social Security Institution (SGK) for the job creation route. Standard processing runs 3 to 6 months from complete file submission to Presidential decree and citizenship grant.
Five investment routes qualify for Turkish citizenship in 2026. Real estate purchase: minimum $400,000 USD in qualifying Turkish properties, valued by SPK-licensed appraisers, with a 3-year title-deed annotation preventing sale (raised from $250,000 in June 2022). Bank deposit: minimum $500,000 USD in a BDDK-regulated Turkish bank, locked for 3 years. Government bonds: minimum $500,000 USD in Turkish Treasury bonds, held for 3 years. Capital investment: $500,000 USD in an operating Turkish business with Ministry of Industry and Technology approval, or alternatively employment of at least 50 Turkish citizens full-time for 3 years (verified by SGK). SPK-approved real estate investment funds and venture capital funds also qualify at the $500,000 threshold. Family inclusion covers the principal applicant, spouse, and dependent children under 18, plus dependent children of any age if disabled. Turkey permits dual citizenship without renunciation. Tax residency follows the 183-day rule, with non-residents taxed only on Turkey-source income. Turkish passport holders are also eligible to apply for the United States E-2 Treaty Investor Visa, a pathway unavailable from most other CBI passports.
