Apartments for Sale in the Best Districts of Istanbul

Istanbul is probably one of the most exciting cities on the planet and the districts of Kartal, Eyüpsultan, Tuzla, Büyükçekmece, and Kâğıthane are especially popular with those foreigners who wish to live by the sea. Apart from its rich history, an extraordinary culture, and natural beauty, Turkey offers one more advantage to foreign investors. In particular, you can qualify for Turkish citizenship if you purchase a piece of real property in the country.

Citizenship of Turkey by investment in 2024 

Regrettably, the ‘price’ of a Turkish passport has gone up since January 1, 2024. The minimum required investment amount used to be US$ 200,000 and now it is US$ 600,000. This means that you have to buy property that costs at least as much to qualify for Turkish citizenship. Why has the price increased? Because the Turkish citizenship-by-investment program has been extremely popular! Isn’t it a good reason to seriously consider the opportunity of acquiring economic citizenship of Turkey?

However, the increased investment amount is not the only thing that you should pay heed to if you are thinking of applying for Turkish citizenship by investment. There are a few other factors that you should know about as well. These include the following ones in particular:

• The immigration service will take into account the estimated value of the property based on the results of expert assessment. The actual sum of money that you have paid for the property plays little role.
• Pieces of property that have been used for citizenship-by-investment purposes before cannot be used for these purposes anymore.
• Purchasing property in some regions of Turkey will not make you eligible to apply for citizenship of the country even if the price of the property comes up to the threshold specified above.

You have to take the last of the issues seriously. Some Turkish provinces are open to foreigners wishing to acquire citizenship of the country by investment while others are not. The residential complexes that we advertise below do participate in the Turkish citizenship-by-investment program.

You can open a foreign bank account with our assistance to facilitate your financial transactions with Turkish developers and government agencies. Besides, we can help you choose a bank that works seamlessly in Turkey so that you can use it when living in the country.
