The Turkish Citizenship by Investment program allows foreign investors to obtain citizenship and nationality for their entire family by making a minimum investment of $400,000 in the Turkish economy, without the need for exams or permanent residency. This program offers various benefits, such as visa-free travel to over 120 countries, a 5-year Schengen visa, eligibility for an E-2 business visa for the USA, and the ability to retain dual nationality. The most popular investment option is real estate, with property prices in Turkey increasing by 15-25% annually. The process involves due diligence, document preparation, investment execution, resident permit application, citizenship application, due diligence by authorities, and finally, citizenship approval. A rough breakdown of costs includes a minimum investment of $400,000 for property acquisition, plus taxes and government fees. Eligible applicants include the principal investor, their spouse, and children under 18, without language tests or residency requirements.
