Your Strategic Investment Choice

To obtain a residence permit in Turkey (ikamet), it is required to purchase property with a minimum cadastral value of $200,000. The residence permit is issued for up to 2 years and is renewed annually, provided that the investment is maintained for at least 3 years.

A Turkish residence permit provides a range of benefits for both the investor and their family. These include access to Turkey’s modern healthcare system, enrollment in local or international schools, and the ability to open bank accounts and conduct financial transactions without restrictions.

While this residency route does not immediately lead to citizenship, it offers a stable legal status and the opportunity to live, work, or retire in a dynamic country that bridges Europe and Asia.
