Investment Requirements & Options
Step-by-Step Citizenship Process
1
Initial Consultation & Eligibility Check
Schedule a free consultation with our Turesta experts to understand your investment goals. We assess your personal and financial background, confirm your eligibility, and outline the best investment strategy—be it purchasing real estate or depositing funds in a Turkish bank.
2
Property Search & Verification
If you choose the real estate option, our team presents a curated list of residential and commercial properties across Istanbul, Antalya, Ankara, and other prime regions. We coordinate property viewings (either in-person or virtual) and conduct due diligence to verify market value and compliance with Citizenship by Investment rules.
3
Purchase & Legal Formalities
Once you select your investment, we guide you through the purchase process: price negotiation, contract drafting, and the title deed transfer. Our trusted legal partners ensure all paperwork, translations, and official registrations conform to Turkish legal requirements.
4
Residency & Citizenship Application
After the investment is finalized, we help you submit your residence permit and citizenship application. Our team compiles the necessary documents, arranges medical insurance (if required), and liaises with government offices to expedite approvals.
5
Approval & Passport Issuance
Once the Turkish government approves your application, you and your family members are granted citizenship. You can then obtain your Turkish IDs and passports, officially enjoying all the rights and privileges of Turkish nationals.
