Eligibility is decided before the property, not after
Turkish citizenship by investment is granted on a real estate purchase of at least US$400,000, held for three years, to an applicant with a clean record and no security concern. The rule is short. The reasons applications stall are not in the rule; they are in the details the rule assumes — that the seller is eligible, that the property has not been used before, that the funds moved by bank transfer and were converted as required, that every civil document carries the right apostille. Each of those is checkable before you buy, and none of them can be fixed afterwards.
The eligibility review is a written assessment of your position against every legal requirement a foreign investor has to meet: personal, family, financial and, if you already have a property in mind, the property itself. It ends with a plain answer — eligible, eligible with conditions, or not eligible — and a realistic timeline and cost. If the programme is not right for you, we say so here rather than after the money has moved.
We are a real estate and citizenship advisory, not a law firm. The legal questions in the review are put to licensed Turkish counsel, and the same counsel files each step under a power of attorney if you proceed.
The consultation
What the review covers
The six questions a Turkish citizenship file has to answer
A file that answers all six before it is lodged is reviewed once. A file that discovers one of them at the directorate is reviewed twice, from the back of the queue.
- 01
Personal eligibility
Your nationality and any restriction on it, your criminal record in Türkiye and elsewhere, your visa and residence history in Türkiye, and anything a security or public-order review would consider. The decision is discretionary; these are the factors it turns on.
- 02
Family eligibility
Who is included — the spouse and children under 18 — and who is not. What each family member will need to document, which documents need an apostille, and how a child close to eighteen is handled against the processing time.
- 03
Source and route of funds
Where the investment comes from, how it will reach Türkiye, and whether the route will satisfy the Turkish bank and the Ministry: bank transfer from your own account, foreign currency sold to a Turkish bank, and the conversion documented.
- 04
The investment route
Whether real estate at US$400,000 is the right instrument for you, or whether a bank deposit, government bonds or a fixed capital investment at US$500,000 fits better. Real estate is the route we advise on; the review says honestly if another suits you.
- 05
Property compliance
If you already have a property in mind: the licensed valuation against the threshold at the official rate, the declared value on the title, the seller's eligibility, whether the property has been used for a previous application, and whether the three-year annotation can be recorded.
- 06
Timeline and cost
A realistic sequence from purchase to passport, with the three-to-six-month estimate placed where it belongs — after the certificate of conformity — and the all-in figure: transfer tax, VAT where applicable, valuation, notary, translation, government and legal fees, and our own fee, quoted separately.
How it works
From your first message to a written answer
The review is designed to be fast at the front, because the decision it produces is the one that saves the most time later.

Eligible, eligible with conditions, or not eligible — with the conditions stated, the realistic timeline, the all-in cost and the risks specific to your situation. Legal points are confirmed with licensed Turkish counsel before we send it.
- 04
Property shortlist
If you proceed on the real estate route, a shortlist of properties that pass every compliance check and our investment test — yield, resale liquidity, district trajectory — from our own Türkiye portfolio and the wider market.
- 05
Execution with counsel
Transfer and annotation, certificate of conformity, residence permit, citizenship application, biometrics, decision and passport, filed by licensed counsel under a power of attorney and coordinated by us at each step.
Türkiye citizenship against the UAE Golden Visa
Investors often weigh the two together, and often under the name "Turkish golden visa" — which is a misnomer, since Türkiye grants a nationality and the UAE grants a ten-year residence permit. The figures below are read from the programme records; the decision guide under News & Insights goes through the choice in full.
| Critère | Türkiye Citizenship by Investment | UAE Golden Residence |
|---|---|---|
| Investissement minimum | 400 000 $US | 2 000 000 AED |
| Durée de détention | 3 ans | Aucune — Le plus favorable |
| Rendement locatif brut | 5–7% — Le plus favorable | 5–7% — Le plus favorable |
| Capital restitué à la sortie | Oui — Le plus favorable | Oui — Le plus favorable |
| Marché de revente | Marché ouvert — Le plus favorable | Marché ouvert — Le plus favorable |
| Rendement indicatif sur 5 ans (ROI) | +25–35% · 100 000 $US–140 000 $US de revenus — Le plus favorable | +25–35% · 500 000 AED–700 000 AED de revenus — Le plus favorable |
| Délai de traitement | 3–6 mois | Non confirmé |
| Destinations sans visa | 110 | Non confirmé |
| Accès à l’espace Schengen | Non | Non |
| Double nationalité autorisée | Oui | Non confirmé |
| Présence requise dans le pays | Aucune — Le plus favorable | Aucune — Le plus favorable |
| Visite requise | Non | Oui |
| Enfants à charge jusqu’à | 18 ans | Sans limite d’âge — Le plus favorable |
| Parents pouvant être inclus | Non | Oui |
| Citoyenneté après | Accordée directement | Aucune voie |
| Impose les revenus mondiaux | Oui | Non |
Read before the consultation
Eligibility questions, answered
Real estate with an appraised and declared value of at least US$400,000, bought from a Turkish national or company by bank transfer, not previously used for another foreigner's application, with a three-year no-sale annotation on the title; a certificate of conformity from the Ministry; a short-term residence permit; a clean criminal record; and no security or public-order concern. The spouse and children under 18 are included.
Not in the sense the term is used elsewhere. Türkiye grants citizenship — a passport — on a US$400,000 real estate investment, not a residence permit. It also offers a short-term residence permit on a property purchase of US$200,000, which is a residency route rather than a citizenship one. The compare page sets both beside the UAE Golden Visa.
The consultation and written assessment are provided without charge to investors considering the programme. Our advisory fee applies only if you proceed, and is quoted in writing at that point, separately from legal, valuation, government and transaction costs.
No. The review is conducted remotely. If you proceed, licensed counsel files each step under a power of attorney, and you and each family member attend once for biometrics, which can often be done at a Turkish consulate.
Three to six months from the certificate of conformity is a realistic estimate for a clean file, with the property purchase and document preparation before that. The decision is the government's and the estimate is not a guarantee; what the review controls is whether the file is clean when it is lodged.
Only if it meets the current regulation on every point — value, seller, prior use, payment route and annotation. A property bought under earlier rules often does not. The review checks it against the same list as a new purchase.
