Your Passport in 8 Steps

With the support of our experts, you can be sure of the correct designation and successful submission of your application.

Consultation with our specialist

We will conduct a preliminary assessment of the investor’s bona fides and their compliance with the Turkish Citizenship by Investment program criteria — in just 24 hours. Based on a thorough analysis, we will propose the optimal strategy.

Property selection

We will offer properties based on your priorities and preferences, and then organise showings, or conduct them online.

Preparation of documents

We will compile a complete list of documents that will be required to participate in the program, help you prepare them, and carefully check them for compliance with all requirements.

Making investments

The investor can sign a preliminary agreement and pay approximately 10% of the property price (in some cases, the developer only issues the contract after full payment). The document is notarized if necessary. Then, with legal support, the investor opens an account at a Turkish bank, makes the final payment for the transaction, and covers VAT, as well as related taxes and fees.

Property valuation

An independent licensed expert determines the value of the selected property to confirm its compliance with the programme requirements (cadastral value of at least $400,000). The report is submitted to the state authorities of Turkey, after which the investor registers the title deed.

Important! Our catalogue features properties with GYO status — investment trusts with public reporting and strict government oversight.

Obtaining a residence permit

To get citizenship, a valid Turkish residence permit is required, but you do not need to live in the country permanently. The residence permit is issued immediately after making the investment. The applicant and their family members must come to Turkey to provide biometrics.

Applying for citizenship

The investor and their spouse will need to appear in person at the Turkish migration office to submit the citizenship application. There, on the spot, specialists will review the entire set of documents.

Getting a passport

After the document verification is completed, the investor is issued a Turkish passport.
