Turkish Citizenship
Turkey Citizenship by Investment
Turkey provides a fast route from $250,000 to obtain a second passport within 2 months, through property investments. The program features a straightforward application process without any obligation to declare assets or income generated by the investor in other countries, and without requiring their physical presence. If it’s buying property as an alternative home, or a decent investment with high ROI potential, there’s a wide variety of new apartments and luxurious seafront villas, all at extremely affordable prices. Investors can take advantage of the rental income and re-sell after 3 years. The system provides streamlined routes for Turkish nationals to move to both the UK and the USA under the respective visa categories available. Via the Turkish Businessperson Visa, investors will move to the UK and continue the journey towards British citizenship. There’s also an option to reside as an E-2 Investor in the US.
Turkey announced its citizenship by investment program in 2016. It grants residency, citizenship and a second passport to applicants investing either in real estate or a bank deposit.
The bank deposit route is attractive especially for investors. This involves depositing $500,000 into a bank account in Turkey that will then be held for a period of only 3 years. This investment can be significantly in US Dollars. That reduces the possibility of investing in Turkish real estate in volatile currency. The holding of liquid assets thereby leading to a second level in citizenship ranks Turkey as one of the lowest cost citizenship by investment programs on the market.
A Turkish passport provides for free travel (or visa upon arrival) to 114 countries around the world. Turkey also holds the possibility of visa-free access to the EU eventually. Talks are ongoing at the moment although Turkey has some way to go to meet EU conditions.
