Program overview

The Turkey Citizenship by Investment program provides a fast and secure path to Turkish citizenship. Through business investment, applicants can obtain a lifetime, inheritable passport with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 113 countries. This route is family-friendly, covering spouse, children under 18, and parents. Processing typically takes around 6 months, making it one of the fastest CBI programs globally. Applicants do not need prior residency or language skills.

Investment overview

Applicants can invest a minimum of USD 500,000 in a Turkish business to qualify for citizenship. Family members are included under one application: spouse, children under 18, and parents. No prior residency is required. Due diligence, government, and passport fees apply per applicant. Other investment options in Turkey include real estate, bank deposits, government bonds, and fund investments, each offering similar family inclusion and processing timelines.
