Turkey CIP: Turkey Citizenship By Investment Program For CEOs, Business Leaders, and High Net Worth Individuals

Istanbul Turkey

Turkish citizenship will be given directly to foreign investors and high net worth individuals who buy at least $250,000 of real estate in Turkey. The property can be leased to provide rental income. After 3 years of acquiring citizenship investors can re-sell their property. Locating at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Turkey is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.

On September 18th 2018, the Turkish government amended article 12 of the Turkish Citizenship Law No: 5901, which allows foreigners to acquire Turkish citizenship through investment. Turkey’s immigration investment program provides a very direct and quick path to citizenship, which makes it particularly attractive to citizens from emerging economies looking for a passport that will allow them to travel more easily than their current passport.
