Program Requirements

Turkey’s citizenship by investment program is well-known for its straight-forward approach to processing applications and the overall operation of the program. Nevertheless, there is a defined criteria for eligibility and process to engage, including:

  • Due Diligence: The main applicant must provide official proof of a clean criminal record. All applicants are required to provided birth certificates, marriage certificates [if applicable], passport from their country of birth, Turkish tax number, and proof of the investment.
  • Investment Asset Class: Under Turkish law, all investments for the Turkish CIP must be made in Turkish currency – the Lira. The program’s demonstrated USD investment amounts represent the minimum amount that the converted Turkish Lira must equate when the actual investment is being made: i.e. when the real estate transaction is finalized.
  • Source of Wealth: All investment funds must come from a legal source. Crypto-backed loans may be acceptable.
  • Investment Hold: Regardless of which investment option an entrepreneur, investor, and family chooses, they must maintain the investment for three years.
  • Investment Options: The Turkey CIP offers entrepreneurs, investors, and families a bit of flexibility and investment diversification along with potential ROI that goes beyond citizenship itself. The most common investment is real estate which begins at $400,000. However, there is also an option of a capital transfer of at least $500,000 into a Turkish bank account, or starting a company based in Turkey. The company must create at least 50 local jobs in order to satisfy the program requirements.
  • Investment Tolerance: The Turkish CIP focuses on approving applications of entrepreneurs, investors, and families who genuinely contribute to the country and community, which is best demonstrated by the investment channels the program offers. All investors must demonstrate the ability to make and maintain the minimum investment threshold tagged to their investment choice, starting at $400,000.
