Turkish Citizenship by Investment: How to Get a Passport in 2025
Looking for a second passport, a safe investment, and the freedom to live by the sea? In 2025, this is more accessible than ever — Turkey officially offers citizenship through property investment starting from $400,000.
This is not just a trend — it’s a proven, legal path that many of our clients have already followed. In this guide, we walk you step by step through the requirements, process, and benefits.
Requirements for Turkish Citizenship by Investment in 2025
To qualify for Turkish citizenship in 2025, you must:
✔️ Purchase real estate worth at least $400,000
✔️ Obtain an official valuation by a company registered with TTB and TADEBİS
✔️ Register the full sale value in the title deed (Tapu)
✔️ Sign a commitment not to sell the property for 3 years
💡 Important: The government evaluates your eligibility based on the official valuation, not the contract price.
If the appraisal falls short, your citizenship request will be denied.
Why Most Investors Choose Real Estate
Among all options in Turkey’s citizenship program, 99% of applicants choose real estate. Why?
🔹 You earn rental income while waiting for your passport
🔹 No need to run a business or deposit $500,000 in a bank
🔹 You invest in a tangible asset — a villa or sea-view apartment
🔹 Physical residency in Turkey is not required
