Turkish citizenship through property: a step-by-step guide
What to know before buying: valuation, bank transfer, the 3-year holding period and realistic timelines.
The programme requires a property purchase of at least $400,000 by official valuation. The amount is based on a licensed valuer's report, not the contract price — so check the valuation before reserving.
Payment goes through a Turkish bank with currency conversion, and a 3-year no-sale annotation is added to the title deed. After the purchase a certificate of conformity is issued and the family's citizenship application is filed.
A realistic timeline from purchase to passport is 6–9 months. We run the process remotely: personal attendance is needed only for biometrics, or not at all, depending on current rules.
