Turkey
Individuals and their families can acquire Turkish citizenship through the Citizenship by Investment Program, launched in 2017. The program aims to attract foreign direct investment and stimulate growth in Turkey's real estate sector. Applicants can choose from various types of economic contributions to Turkish society. The country's unique geographical position, straddling Europe and Asia, adds to its appeal. Each application undergoes a thorough vetting process to ensure program integrity.

After choosing a qualifying investment option, applicants must apply for a residence permit for their family. The main applicant needs to open a Turkish bank account.
Once all documents are ready, including certifications and translations, the investment can be completed. Documents are then submitted to the government. Contributions must be made in Turkish lira, equivalent to the USD amount.
Successful applicants need to visit Turkey to provide biometrics for the residence application. Approval usually takes three to five months. After that, citizenship documents are issued, and the passport application can be submitted.
Keep in mind that Turkish gift and inheritance taxes apply to worldwide assets of Turkish citizens. We suggest seeking professional advice on this matter.
