On the 12th of May 2022, the value of Turkish citizenship acquisition was updated to 400,000 USD. The President of Turkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdogan published the “Regulation on Amending the Regulation on the Implementation of Turkish Citizenship Law” in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Turkiye.
Currently, the Turkish Citizenship by Investment program is giving foreigners an
opportunity to own a Turkish passport after purchasing real estate worth
250,000 USD or more but this is going to change with the effect of 13 June
2022.
In the first quarter of 2022, Turkiye witnessed a 45%
rise in sales compared to 2021 selling 14,344 homes to foreign nationals.
Russia, Iran, and Iraq nationals were on top of the list.
There are various programs through which you can
acquire Turkish citizenship but if
you wish to buy property for 250,000 USD (before 13 June) you have to keep it
for 3 years without selling it. The spouse and children of the applicant are
granted Turkish citizenship. You do not have to be in Turkiye during the
application process, you can give your lawyer the power of attorney (POA) and
they will handle all the paperwork for you. Prime Property Turkey has a legal
team that can assist you every step of the way and is ready to answer all your
questions.
After securing your Turkish citizenship, you can keep
your multiple citizenships and your children born in Turkiye will become
citizens of the country.
