Turkish Citizenship through Real Estate Investment

Visa for the Schengen Area

Turkish citizens are eligible for a Schengen C-2 visa valid for up to 5 years, allowing stays in EU countries for up to 90 days within each six-month period. The C-2 visa is suitable for both tourism and business trips.

10-Year Tourist Visa for the USA

Turkish citizens can obtain a B-1/B-2 tourist visa for the US, valid for 10 years. This visa is issued for tourism, accessing medical services, and attending conferences and business meetings. However, the B-1/B-2 visa does not permit employment or study in the US.

E-2 Business Visa in the USA

Due to the US-Turkiye Treaty of Commerce and Navigation, Turkish citizens can apply for an E-2 visa, allowing them to live and conduct business in the US. Obtaining an E-2 visa requires investment in a US-based business.

The Right to Conduct and Open Business Both in Turkey and Globally

Turkiye is a major international transit hub today, attracting business people worldwide due to its strategic geopolitical location and openness to foreign investments. Citizenship simplifies the process of opening and running businesses. Turkish authorities encourage foreign investments with various incentives, including tax exemptions in the first year of operation. Turkiye has 18 free zones exempt from income and corporate taxes, property and inheritance taxes, and stamp duties.

A significant advantage of a Turkish passport is access to both Turkish and international banks. With a Turkish passport, you can open an account in any Turkish bank and utilize all banking services on par with other citizens of the country.

Access to Healthcare and Education

Turkish citizens enjoy free healthcare services in public hospitals. Turkish healthcare is renowned for its high standards. Every year, over half a million foreigners visit Türkiye for check-ups and treatments for complex diseases like cancer and neurological disorders. Advanced surgeries using state-of-the-art technologies, such as da Vinci robotic surgeons, are routinely performed here.

Turkish university degrees are recognized worldwide. Since 2001, Turkiye has been part of the Bologna Process. Public school education in Türkiye is free, while private schooling costs significantly less than in EU and Asian countries. Turkiye boasts over 200 universities, both private and public, along with numerous schools and colleges. Educational programs are offered in various languages, making education accessible to international students. Scholarships and exchange programs with institutions abroad, including those in the EU and the US, are available to the most talented students.

Passports for All Family Members

Investors can include close relatives—spouse and all minor children under 18 years old, as well as children with disabilities up to 21 years old—in their application for Turkish citizenship through the simplified process. The minimum investment threshold remains unchanged.

A Second Home in a Developing Country with a Mild Climate

The Turkish Citizenship by Investment program does not require permanent residence in the country. However, Turkiye can become an alternative place of residence if desired or necessary. This country offers a mild climate, a developing economy, a culture and mentality similar to that of many other countries, and comprehensive urban infrastructure not only in major cities but also in resort areas.
