A Guide to Turkish Citizenship by Investment in 2026
Published on:·1 min read
Türkiye’s citizenship-by-investment route remains one of the most direct in the world: a qualifying property purchase, held for three years, opens a path to a Turkish passport for the buyer, their spouse and dependent children. This guide sets out how the programme works in practice in 2026.
The property threshold stands at USD 400,000, assessed against an official valuation report rather than the contract price — a distinction that catches out buyers who budget to the threshold exactly. The valuation must be prepared by a licensed appraiser, and the title deed is annotated with the three-year holding commitment at registration.
Applications run in parallel rather than in sequence: the title transfer, the residence permit and the citizenship file can all be progressed at once, which is what keeps the typical timeline to between four and eight months. The holding period is measured from the date of the annotation, not from the date of application.
Multi Mulk’s İstanbul and coastal developments are all valued above the threshold and are delivered with the documentation the application requires. Our advisory team works alongside your legal counsel through to the passport interview.
