Turkish Citizenship Advisory Services in 2026
Автор:Alireza·Опубликовано:·5 мин чтения
Most investors who approach Turkish citizenship by investment for the first time have the same three concerns: whether they qualify, whether the property they are being shown is genuinely eligible, and whether anyone is accountable for the file once the money has moved. A structured advisory service exists to answer all three before the first payment, not after.
This page sets out how Multi Mulk's Turkish citizenship advisory works: what we do at each stage, who does it, and what you receive.
What a Turkish citizenship advisor does
An advisor coordinates. The legal filings are made by a licensed Turkish lawyer; the valuation is produced by a licensed valuation firm; the transfer is recorded by the Land Registry; the decision is made by the government. What an advisor adds is the review that happens before each step, the coordination between the parties, and the accountability for the whole.
Concretely, our service has four parts.
1. Eligibility review
Before any property is discussed, we review your eligibility in writing.
- Personal: nationality, criminal record, previous residence or visa history in Türkiye, any factor relevant to the security review.
- Family: who can be included — spouse and children under 18 — and what each will need to document.
- Funds: the source and route of the investment, and whether it will satisfy the bank and the Ministry.
- Route: whether real estate at USD 400,000 is the right instrument for you, or whether a deposit or another route fits better.
You receive a short written assessment: eligible, not eligible, or eligible with conditions, with the realistic timeline and the full cost. If the programme is not right for you, we tell you at this stage.
2. Property due diligence
Every eligibility condition attaches to the property. Our due diligence confirms each one before you commit.
| Check | What we confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation | Licensed report at or above USD 400,000 at the official rate | Below threshold, no certificate of conformity |
| Declared value | Title deed value at or above the threshold | Both figures are checked, not one |
| Seller | Turkish national or company, unrelated to you | A foreign or related-party seller disqualifies the purchase |
| History | Not used for a previous citizenship application | A reused property disqualifies the purchase |
| Title | Ownership, encumbrances, annotation feasibility | The three-year annotation must be recordable |
| Developer | Delivery and title-registration record, for off-plan | A late building delays the annotation and the file |
| Payment | Bank transfer route and currency conversion | An untraceable payment is a deficient file |
The same standard applies whether the property comes from our own Türkiye portfolio or the wider market, and it is the standard we describe on our investor protection page. We also apply an investment test: yield, resale liquidity, district trajectory. A property that qualifies but is a poor investment is not one we recommend.
3. Legal coordination
We are not a law firm. Every file is executed by licensed Turkish counsel acting under a power of attorney, and we coordinate them together with the valuation firm, the bank, the notary and the sworn translators. Our role is to make sure the lawyer has a complete, correct file at each step and that nothing waits on anyone.
- Sale contract and power of attorney reviewed before signature.
- Land Registry transfer and annotation attended.
- Certificate of conformity applied for with a complete document set.
- Residence permit and citizenship applications lodged on time.
- Deficiency notices, if any, answered promptly and at no additional advisory fee.
If you already have a Turkish lawyer you trust, we work with them. If you do not, we introduce independent counsel with a citizenship track record and a written fee agreement. Our guide to advisor vs lawyer explains how the two roles fit together.
4. Application support
From lodgement to passport, we track the file, report to you, and handle whatever the process asks for.
- Family document set prepared and checked before filing.
- Biometric appointments arranged, in Türkiye or at a consulate.
- Application status monitored and reported.
- Approval-stage steps — civil registration, identity card, passport — coordinated.
- After the passport: rental management and, after the three-year hold, resale planning.
Timeline
| Stage | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Eligibility review | Within one week of receiving your information |
| Property selection and due diligence | Two to six weeks, depending on your brief |
| Transfer, annotation and certificate of conformity | Four to eight weeks |
| Residence permit | Two to four weeks |
| Citizenship application to decision | Three to six months, estimated |
These are estimates from our own files, not guarantees. The decision is the government's. What we control is whether the file is clean when it is lodged, which is what determines whether it sits in the estimate or outside it.
Who this service is for
- Investors who want a written answer on eligibility before spending anything.
- Families who need the whole application planned, not just the main applicant's.
- Investors buying off-plan who need the developer vetted as carefully as the property.
- Investors who have been told "we handle everything" and want to know by whom.
Fees
Our advisory fee is quoted in writing at the eligibility stage, separately from the lawyer's fee, the valuation fee, government fees and transaction taxes, so that you can see the full cost before you commit. We do not take undisclosed commissions from developers on the properties we recommend. Our guide to the hidden costs of Turkish citizenship sets out what the other items typically come to.
Frequently asked questions
What does a Turkish citizenship consultation with Multi Mulk cover?
Your personal and family eligibility, the investment route, the realistic timeline, the full cost, and the risks specific to your situation — in writing.
Do you provide citizenship application assistance if I already own property in Türkiye?
Yes, if the property meets the current regulation. We review it against the same checks as a new purchase; a property bought before the current rules may not qualify.
Are Turkey immigration advisors regulated?
Advisory firms are not licensed in the way lawyers are, which is why we run every file with licensed Turkish counsel and set out our scope in writing.
Do you handle the residence permit as part of the service?
Yes. The short-term residence permit is a step in the citizenship process and is included in the scope.
What happens if my application is refused?
Your lawyer will advise on whether to challenge the decision in the administrative court or to reapply after addressing the cause. We coordinate either path. See What happens if Turkish citizenship is rejected.
