Turkey Citizenship by Investment Programme
A Glimpse of Turkey
Turkey Citizenship by Investment Programme
The Turkey Citizenship by Investment programme is a relatively new option and often bypassed by investors opting for programmes within the European Union instead. However, despite competition from its EU neighbours, the Turkish programme has achieved huge success in the last 12 months.
In a bid to help revive the Turkish property market, the government has reduced the programme’s minimum real estate investment threshold from US$1,000,000 down to US$250,000. Since this significant price reduction, the country has seen a dramatic increase in applications and has subsequently issued citizenship to more than 2,600 main applicants, almost 10,000 applicants in total, including family members.
