Our view
Multi Mulk Recommends Türkiye Citizenship by Investment
Both are bought on a property that lets at 5–7% a year and sells on the open market, so on return they are level — and Türkiye’s entry is the lower of the two. The difference is what is granted: the Golden Residence is a residence permit, renewable every ten years and never a passport, while Türkiye grants citizenship outright. The two are not exclusive — many of our clients hold a Dubai base and a Turkish passport together. Where the objective is a second nationality, Türkiye is our recommendation.
