We also confirm programme rules (e.g., age 18+, clean background) and discuss restricted nationalities (Armenia, Cuba, Nigeria, North Korea, Syria).

For real estate, the minimum threshold and 3-year hold must be satisfied.
Once the investment is in place, you submit a residence permit application.
A biometrics visit in Turkey is required, and valid health insurance must be in place.
Citiverse compiles and files your citizenship application with the required supporting documents for you and any eligible family members (spouse, children under 18, and dependants with disabilities).
Authorities conduct thorough background checks and review your file.
There is no mandatory residence or language requirement to obtain citizenship under this programme. Typical end-to-end timelines are around 3–6 months.

FAQ - Turkey Citizenship by Investment
Turkey’s Citizenship by Investment Program is a government-established route that allows eligible investors and their qualifying family members to obtain Turkish citizenship through approved investment options under a formal legal and administrative process.
For the real estate route, the minimum qualifying investment is USD 400,000, with a required holding period of at least three years.
In addition to real estate, Turkey offers alternative qualifying routes such as fixed capital investment, bank deposit, government bonds, and certain investment fund or pension-based options – each typically requiring a minimum of USD 500,000 and a holding period of three years.
Yes. Applications can typically include the main applicant’s spouse and dependent children (commonly under 18), subject to the current rules and supporting documentation requirements.
Yes. As part of the standard pathway, applicants generally obtain a Turkish residence permit after completing the qualifying investment and before the citizenship file is finalized. A biometrics visit in Turkey is typically required.
Many cases are completed within a few months from properly prepared submission through to approval, depending on document readiness, verification steps, and government processing.
Turkey’s investment route is generally structured without a language requirement, and it is commonly positioned as not requiring long-term residence prior to approval. Practical steps (such as biometrics) may still require travel to Turkey during the process.
Turkey is listed as an E-2 treaty country. E-2 eligibility is assessed under U.S. immigration rules and depends on the applicant’s nationality and the specific business/investment facts of the case.
A standard file usually includes identity and civil status documents, police clearance certificates, proof of lawful source of funds, and investment-specific documentation. Quality, consistency, and proper legalization of documents materially affects processing efficiency.
The process is executed through formal filings with the relevant Turkish authorities, including investment verification and citizenship submission steps. A structured, compliance-led approach – pre-qualification, KYC, document control, and investment verification – reduces delays and improves clarity throughout.
