Turkey

Turkey has just made amendments to its citizenship laws to encourage investment, as per new regulations which have been published in the official government gazzette. The main aim of these amendments is to offer Turkish citizenship to foreigners in exchange of direct investment in the Turkish economy. This announcement comes at a time where the country battles a serious slide in the lira. 

Investment Options

Applicants can choose from any of the main investment routes with different amounts of investment mentioned below:

  • Purchase Real estate in Turkey worth a minimum $1 million with the special condition of not selling it for at least three years; or
  • Invest at least US $ 2 million in fixed capital; or
  • Deposit a minimum of $3 million in Turkish banks on condition of not withdrawing it for three years; or
  • Create at least 100 jobs in Turkey.

Turkey Passport Ranking

Turkish citizens enjoy visa-free or visa on arrival access to more than 104 countries and territories, ranking the Turkish passport 42nd in the world.
