Turkiye: a magnet
for hundreds of thousands

High standard of living
and economic growth

Turkiye is a nation marked by a flourishing economy, a high standard of living, a deep historical legacy, and a culture that resonates with many.
Its strategic location between Europe and Asia, a year-round influx of tourists, and a dynamic real estate sector make the country highly attractive to investors worldwide.

Opportunities for growth
and simplified legal processes

Turkiye holds great potential for development — from potential EU membership to expanding cooperation with both the West and the East, and leading the Eastern alliance of countries.
The country offers clear and accessible laws, a favorable tax environment, and a variety of programs to attract international investors.

Natural beauty
and rich culture

Turkiye is a land of four seas—the Mediterranean, Black, Aegean, and Marmara — each offering unique climates, beaches, resorts, and stunning coastlines.

The country enjoys a comfortable climate, and its coastal provinces are noted for their high environmental standards, numerous nature reserves, and beaches awarded the “Blue flag” distinction.

Why Turkiye?

The perfect place to live

Opportunities for business and investors

Turkiye’s strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, coupled with its status as a popular tourist destination and its ongoing economic and infrastructure development, presents unique opportunities for business, investment, tourism, and a high quality of life.

High standard of living

In the last ten years, Turkiye has seen remarkable change. Urban development has surged, and significant progress has been made in healthcare, education, and science. Today, multinational corporations are setting up branches, schools, medical facilities, and IT firms across the nation.

Tourism potential

In 2023, Turkiye ranked 6th globally in tourist arrivals, with Istanbul becoming the third most visited city in the world. The country boasts four seas, unique historical and natural landmarks, cultural diversity, and the vibrant charm of Eastern life.

Visa-Free entry
and convenient logistics

Turkiye provides visa-free entry for citizens of numerous countries, and it’s easily accessible from any part of the globe. The country’s advanced transportation network and large international airports ensure swift and comfortable travel.

Ease of legalization

Turkiye offers two options for investors seeking long-term residency. An investor residence permit is available with the purchase of property valued at $200,000 or more, and citizenship for the entire family can be obtained with a real estate investment starting at $400,000.

A world
without borders

A Turkish passport opens doors to the global banking system, visa-free travel to 118 countries, secure and profitable investments, and a bright future for your children. It’s a country where you can live — or a valuable “Plan B” for times of uncertainty.

Why do I
recommend Turkiye?

A highly transparent and swift process for obtaining citizenship and residency through investment.
A high-liquidity real estate market with immense economic potential.
A high quality of life, with real estate and living costs much lower than in Europe.
Easy adaptation—Turkiye has over 1 million expats from all over the world and approximately 60,000 international companies.

Is Turkiye right for you? Let’s talk about it!

The program allows for a choice among various types of economic contributions. You can invest in real estate, government bonds or shares, or investment funds.
The minimum investment amount is $400,000. You need to purchase real estate for this amount. 95% of foreign investors choose this option to obtain a Turkish passport.
Purchasing different types of property—You can buy residential or commercial real estate to participate in the program.
Multiple properties—You can either purchase a single property with a cadastral value exceeding $400,000 or several properties with a combined value of at least $400,000.
Requirements for applicants are minimal. There is no need to become a resident for tax purposes, no need to declare income or assets outside the country, and no need to disclose the source of funds used to purchase real estate.
