Türkiye – Citizenship by Investment
Asset-Backed Citizenship With Strategic Global Access
The Citizenship by Investment programme of Türkiye grants full citizenship and a Turkish passport to qualified applicants and their families through a regulated investment route. This is direct citizenship, not residency, and does not require long-term relocation or ongoing physical presence in Türkiye. The programme is widely chosen for its speed, asset-backed structure, and strategic geographic position between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
