About the Turkey Citizenship Program

Turkey Citizenship Program:

The Turkish citizenship by investment program was launched in 2017 in order to attract foreign investors. The program is one of the most affordable ways to obtain citizenship, requiring one to make an investment with a minimum value of $400,000.

This program offers to obtain Turkish citizenship within 2 months for the entire family.

One of the main advantages of the program is no requirement to undergo an interview and to visit Turkey for the purposes of citizenship acquisition and after.

Turkey:

Turkey has a beneficial location on a crossroad between South-Eastern Europe and Western Asia and is washed by 4 seas: the Black and Marmara seas in the North, the Mediterranean in the South, and the Aegean Sea in the West.

Turkey is a member of the G20, NATO, and is considered to be a country with one of the world’s largest and dynamic economies. It also has one of the highest GDP rates per capita when compared to other countries that offer citizenship by investment.
