Türkiye · Citizenship by Investment
Turkish Citizenship,
By Investment
Buy an approved property in Türkiye, hold it three years, and hold a Turkish passport — for you, your spouse and your children under eighteen. No residency requirement, no language exam, and a title deed you actually own.
The Qualifying Routes
Six Ways to Qualify, One Passport
Turkish regulation recognises six qualifying investments, each held for three years. Side by side, without the brochure gloss — so you can see where your capital, your timeline and your appetite for risk actually meet.

All six thresholds above are the amounts set by current Turkish regulation, and exclude government, valuation, notary and processing fees. Türkiye has revised these figures more than once — the real estate minimum moved from $250,000 to $400,000 in June 2022 — so every number is re-confirmed against the regulation in force on the day we file. A seventh route via the private pension system exists and is covered at consultation where it is relevant to you.
The Investment Route
Six Routes, Three Real Choices
Of the six qualifying routes, nearly every file we handle runs through one of three. Which one suits you depends less on the brochure and more on whether you want an asset, your capital back, or simply the least friction.
01
Approved Real Estate
The route most applicants choose. Buy property valued at or above the threshold by a licensed valuer, register the title in your name, and place a three-year no-sale annotation on the deed.
- Independent SPK valuation obtained first
- Title deed (TAPU) in your own name
- Rental income permitted during the hold
- Free to sell after three years
02
Bank Deposit or Bonds
Deposit funds in a Turkish bank, or purchase government bonds, and hold for three years. Higher upfront than the property route, but the capital comes back to you in full.
- Held with a bank approved by the BRSA
- Capital returned at the end of the hold
- No property to maintain, let or resell
- Often the lowest true lifetime cost
03
Fixed Capital, Fund or Jobs
Invest into a Turkish business or a licensed fund, or employ fifty Turkish citizens. Suited to applicants already building something inside the country.
- Ministry confirmation of the investment
- Fund shares held by a licensed manager
- Employment route confirmed by the ministry
- Structured around your business plans
Why Ozmark
Counsel,
For a Better Future
In Türkiye, the passport is the easy part. The valuation, the title check and the seller's history are where files quietly go wrong — and where a counsellor either earns their fee or costs you the application.
Valuation before purchaseEvery Turkish file we open starts with an independent SPK report — before a single dollar moves.
- Independent valuation, always
- The SPK-licensed valuation is commissioned before you commit, not after. Units marketed at "citizenship prices" are this programme's most common trap, and we will name them.
- Title and seller checked first
- We verify the TAPU, the encumbrances, and whether the property was already used for someone else's citizenship application — which would disqualify it entirely.
- No commission-led shortlists
- We are paid by you, not by developers. If the bank deposit route serves you better than any property on our desk, that is the answer you get.
- Transparent case tracking
- Valuation, purchase, conformity certificate, residence permit, application — every milestone of your file, in plain language, at every stage.
- Support after the passport
- Tenant management referrals, tax registration and resale planning at the three-year mark, from a Lahore office your family can still walk into.
We are consultants, not tax or legal advisors. Where your case calls for one, we connect you with a qualified professional rather than guessing.
The Ozmark Method · Türkiye
From Title Deed to Passport
No two countries run the same way. This is the Turkish sequence specifically — valuation before purchase, conformity certificate before application, and a residence permit that must exist before citizenship can be filed at all.
- 1
Confidential Route Selection
A private sitting to weigh the six qualifying routes against your capital, your timeline and whether you want an asset or your money back at year three.
- 2
SPK Valuation & Title Check
An SPK-licensed valuation report commissioned before you commit, alongside a TAPU search for encumbrances and any prior citizenship use of the same property.
- 3
Purchase, TAPU & Three-Year Annotation
Funds transferred through the banking channel Turkish authorities require, title registered in your name, and the three-year no-sale annotation entered on the deed.
- 4
Certificate of Conformity
The ministry confirms your investment satisfies the regulation. This certificate — not the purchase itself — is what unlocks the citizenship application.
- 5
Residence Permit, Filing & Passports
Short-term residence permit obtained, the family application filed with the Directorate General of Migration Management, and passports delivered to your door in Lahore on approval.

In Their Words
Those Who Trusted Us
The first agent showed us a flat priced thirty percent above its valuation. Ozmark ran the valuation before we paid anything — and found us a better one for less.
We wanted the passport without the property headache. The deposit route was explained honestly, and our capital comes back to us in full at year three.
Title transfer, conformity certificate, residence permit, passports — every step happened when they said it would. Seven months, no surprises.
Before You Ask
Questions, Answered Plainly
Do I have to live in Türkiye?
No. There is no minimum stay requirement, no language exam and no interview on residency grounds. You visit briefly to complete biometrics and the title transfer, and that is generally the extent of it.
Can I sell the property after three years?
Yes. A three-year no-sale annotation is registered on the title deed at purchase. Once it lapses, the property is yours to sell, and your citizenship is unaffected by the sale.
Who in my family is included?
Your spouse and children under eighteen are included in the same application. Adult children and parents are not, though we can advise on separate residence pathways for them at the eligibility stage.
Why does the valuation matter so much?
Because the threshold is measured against an SPK-licensed valuation, not the price you paid. Buyers who skip this step regularly discover their property values below the requirement — after the money has moved. We commission it first, every time.
Are there tax implications?
Turkish citizenship does not automatically make you a Turkish tax resident, but rental income and eventual resale carry their own obligations. We aren't tax advisors, so where your case calls for one, we connect you with a qualified professional rather than guessing.
