FAQ’s
What is Turkey citizenship by investment?
Turkey citizenship by investment is an exceptional citizenship route for qualifying foreign nationals who complete an investment meeting the thresholds and conditions established by the Turkish government.
What is the minimum investment for Turkish citizenship?
The property-purchase route currently requires qualifying real estate worth at least USD 400,000. Several alternative routes generally require a minimum investment of USD 500,000, while the employment route requires the creation of at least 50 jobs.
What are the main Turkey citizenship requirements?
Applicants must complete an approved investment, document the lawful source of funds, maintain the investment for the required period, obtain relevant certification, complete the required residence formalities and pass official background and security checks.
Can Pakistani citizens apply for Turkish citizenship by investment?
Pakistani nationals may apply if they satisfy the programme’s investment, documentation and due-diligence requirements. They should separately obtain advice regarding the effect of acquiring Turkish citizenship on their Pakistani nationality.
Can I keep both Pakistani and Turkish citizenship?
Türkiye generally permits multiple nationality, but applicants must also follow the law of their existing country. Türkiye is not currently included in Pakistan’s published list of countries with formal dual-nationality arrangements. Pakistani applicants should obtain official or qualified legal guidance before proceeding.
Can my family be included in my application?
The principal applicant may generally include a spouse and qualifying dependent children. Parents, siblings and other relatives do not ordinarily qualify as dependants under the same citizenship-by-investment application.
Can I obtain citizenship by purchasing more than one property?
It may be possible to use more than one qualifying property, provided the combined transaction meets the applicable threshold and all properties, payments, valuations and title-deed restrictions comply with current rules.
Can I sell the property after receiving citizenship?
Property used for the citizenship application must generally be held for at least three years. Selling or transferring it before the restriction expires could create compliance problems.
Do I have to live in Türkiye?
The investment route does not generally require the applicant to live permanently in Türkiye before applying. However, certain in-person steps, legal formalities or appointments may be necessary.
Is a Turkish language test required?
A Turkish language test is not generally presented as a standard requirement for citizenship acquired through the qualifying investment route. Applicants must nevertheless comply with all rules applicable when they apply.
Does purchasing property guarantee citizenship?
No. Purchasing property does not guarantee approval. The property and transaction must satisfy the programme rules, and the applicant must pass documentation, due-diligence and security checks.
How long does the application process take?
The timeframe varies according to document readiness, the investment route, valuation and registration procedures, government checks and administrative workload. A fixed approval date should not be guaranteed.
Can I rent out the qualifying property?
A qualifying property may generally be rented out, provided doing so does not breach the title restriction, purchase agreement or other legal conditions. Applicants should obtain legal and tax advice before renting it.
Is Turkey the cheapest citizenship by investment programme?
Not necessarily. Other countries may offer lower headline requirements. Türkiye may appeal to applicants who prefer an asset-based real-estate route, but the total costs and investment risks must be carefully evaluated.
Is the property investment guaranteed or risk-free?
No property investment is guaranteed or risk-free. Property prices, exchange rates, rental income and resale demand may change. Independent legal, financial and property due diligence is essential.
