Brief overview of the program

The Turkish Residency by Investment program, also known as the Golden Visa, was launched in January 2017 to attract foreign capital and stimulate growth in the country’s real estate sector. To qualify, an investment of at least USD 200,000 in real estate is required. Residency status is also extended to the applicant’s spouse and children under 18. The residency permit is issued for 5 years, and after 3 years, investors may apply for permanent residency or Turkish citizenship.

Processing time from 2 months
Investment amount from USD 200,000

Advantages of the program

  • Path to citizenship with no residency requirement

    The program does not require applicants to live in Turkey. Investors can obtain Turkish citizenship three years after making their investment while maintaining their usual lifestyle abroad.

  • Family inclusion in the application

    The Turkish Residency by Investment program allows the inclusion of a spouse and children under 18. All family members receive equal residency rights and the opportunity to apply for citizenship later.

  • Profitable investment opportunities

    The Turkish real estate market demonstrates stable annual growth. Investors can rent out their property to generate additional income.

  • Strategic location between Europe and Asia

    Turkey serves as a bridge between continents, offering unique opportunities for business and trade. Residency here provides access to the markets of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

  • Eligibility for the U.S. E-2 visa

    After obtaining Turkish citizenship, investors can apply for the U.S. E-2 visa, which allows them to live and conduct business in the United States. This is especially valuable for citizens of countries without an existing E-2 treaty with the U.S.

  • High quality of life

    Living in Turkey offers access to modern healthcare, quality education, and a comfortable environment with well-developed infrastructure, making the country highly attractive for investors and their families.

Unlock business and financial opportunities with the program

  • Taxation Holders of Turkish residency are taxed only on income generated within Turkey. Foreign income is neither declared nor taxed in Turkey.
  • Banking and accounts Residency simplifies the process of opening bank accounts in Turkey and provides access to loans and mortgages. It also opens the door to services from the country’s leading financial institutions.
  • Asset protection Turkey does not participate in the CRS automatic exchange of tax information with most countries. As a result, local residency ensures financial confidentiality and protects assets from excessive oversight by foreign tax authorities.
