Turkey’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program offers a fast-track and efficient pathway to Turkish citizenship, with a processing time of approximately 4 to 6 months. Investors can qualify through one of the following investment options:
Secure Turkish citizenship through multiple investment options tailored to your financial goals. Choose to invest in real estate with a minimum value of $400,000 or make a fixed capital contribution of at least $500,000. Alternatively, deposit $500,000 in a Turkish bank, invest in government bonds, or diversify with real estate or venture capital funds. You can also opt for the private pension system, which requires a $500,000 investment held for at least three years. Each pathway offers a strategic route to citizenship while ensuring financial growth and stability.
This program provides access to Turkey’s strategic location, serving as a bridge between Europe and the Middle East, along with a dynamic, growing economy and a thriving real estate market. Additionally, Turkish citizenship offers global mobility benefits, business expansion opportunities, and a favorable investment environment. With its strong economic potential and simplified application process, Turkey remains an attractive choice for investors seeking second citizenship and long-term financial security.
