🇹🇷 Turkish Citizenship by Investment Programme

Turkish Citizenship by Investment offers several qualifying routes, including real estate from USD 400,000 and financial investment options from USD 500,000, including bank deposits, government bonds, investment funds and the private pension system. No minimum residence period is required for citizenship. Turkish citizens benefit from broad international mobility, although the passport does not provide visa-free access to the Schengen Area, UK or USA.
