Multi Mulk Recommends Türkiye Citizenship by Investment
Türkiye and the UAE are the two whose asset earns — a property at 5–7% a year, resold on the open market. Portugal closed its property route in 2023 and its fund route is ten years and a language test from a passport; Greece still sells a property permit, but taxes worldwide income and its road to citizenship runs seven years. The UAE Golden Residence is the residence we transact — renewable, no tax on worldwide income, no minimum stay — but it is a permit and never a passport. Türkiye grants citizenship outright, at the lowest entry of the four, on a property that yields the same. For a family whose objective is a second nationality that pays for itself, Türkiye is our recommendation; for a Gulf base alongside it, the UAE.
