Invest in property.
Get the passport.
Sell later. Keep the citizenship.

The official real-estate condition is a title-deed restriction preventing resale for at least three years. After that restriction expires, the property may generally be sold. Citizenship already lawfully granted is not structured as a temporary property visa that simply expires on sale. Exceptional legal issues such as fraud, false declarations or a defective original transaction are different matters, so obtain legal advice before disposal.

No. The property must qualify, the transaction and evidence must comply with the rules, and the applicant remains subject to government review. The official wording is that qualifying foreigners may be eligible for citizenship, subject to the decision of the competent authorities.

Current specialist program guidance states that a main applicant may include a spouse and eligible dependent children, subject to age/dependency rules, documentation and government approval. Complex family situations should be checked before filing.

The three-year headline condition for the real-estate route is a property holding/resale restriction, not a requirement that you personally live in the property for three years. Current specialist guidance describes no specific residence requirement for maintaining the investment citizenship route.

No. Türkiye is not an EU member state. A Turkish passport does not itself grant EU freedom of movement, a Schengen residence right, or visa-free entry to every European country.

Passport Index 2026 currently gives Türkiye a mobility score of 121: 71 destinations listed visa-free, 43 with visa on arrival and 7 with eTA. Important examples include Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Georgia, Hong Kong and others. Entry rules can change, so always re-check before travel.

Yes. Türkiye’s population authority currently lists five passport-free destinations for holders of the new T.C. identity card: Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Ukraine and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Entry and security conditions can change, so they should still be checked before departure.

160+ countries. Current 2026 travel guidance lists visa-free access to more than 160 countries for Turkish Green Passport holders, including the Schengen Area for short stays under the applicable 90/180-day rule.

No. Investment citizenship gives ordinary Turkish citizenship, not an automatic Green Passport. A citizen may later qualify under a separate legal category. One business-relevant route is through a qualifying Turkish exporter: the Ministry of Trade currently states that firms averaging more than USD 500,000 annual exports across the last three calendar years may receive Green Passport quotas for eligible owners, partners or employees. Green Passport holders have substantially stronger visa-free short-stay access to Schengen Europe, but this is not EU citizenship or a right to live or work freely in the EU.

A typical exceptional-citizenship file includes the VAT-4 application form, biometric photographs, passport, birth/civil-registry records, marital-status documents, family relationship documents for included spouse/children, the qualifying investment/property evidence and the required translations, notarisation or legalisation. The exact checklist varies by nationality and family situation, and we coordinate the file with you.

Normally around 3–6 months is a practical planning range for a clean, well-prepared property-investment file from completion of the qualifying investment and filing through government review. Timing varies by applicant, nationality, document readiness, family complexity and the authorities’ review, so it should not be treated as a statutory maximum.

Türkiye recognizes multiple-nationality situations, but whether you can keep your original citizenship depends on the law of your current country as well. Always check both sides before proceeding.

Citizens can live permanently in Türkiye, work without a foreigner work permit, use citizen public services and e-Devlet, access free tuition at state primary and secondary schools, and enter the SGK / General Health Insurance system subject to the applicable registration and contribution rules. Public healthcare is broadly covered or subsidized under the system, but not every treatment or private-hospital service is automatically free.

Citizenship can create legal consequences beyond the passport. Tax residence depends on facts and applicable rules rather than the passport alone, while inheritance/gift and military-service questions can require individual advice. Review these before applying, especially for adult male applicants and families with cross-border assets.

For many Muslim families, yes: mosques, halal food, Ramadan and Eid life are deeply woven into everyday culture. At the same time, citizenship eligibility is not based on religion, and Article 24 of the Constitution protects freedom of conscience, religious belief and conviction for everyone.
