Secure Turkish Citizenship Through a Qualifying Investment

Unlike many immigration programmes, Turkish Citizenship by Investment does not require applicants to live in Türkiye before or after obtaining citizenship — and there is no Turkish language requirement or formal citizenship interview.

Once the investment conditions have been satisfied and the application has been approved, successful applicants receive the same legal rights and obligations as any other Turkish citizen.

For many international investors, Turkish citizenship is about far more than obtaining a second passport. It is an opportunity to secure greater flexibility for the future while gaining access to one of the world's most strategically located countries. Depending on your personal and business objectives, Turkish citizenship may offer:

• The right to live, work, study, and establish a business in Türkiye
• Citizenship for eligible family members under a single application
• Access to one of the region's largest and most dynamic economies
• The opportunity to invest in a growing real estate and investment market
• No requirement to reside in Türkiye before or after obtaining citizenship
• The possibility of retaining your existing nationality, subject to the laws of your home country

Every client's objectives are different. Before recommending any investment route, we take the time to understand your priorities and develop a legal strategy tailored to your circumstances.

Türkiye offers several qualifying investment routes. Choosing the right option depends on your financial objectives, investment strategy, and long-term plans.

At POA, we help clients evaluate every investment option carefully before any commitment is made, ensuring the chosen route aligns with both the legal requirements and your long-term objectives.

The programme is designed to allow families to apply together under a single investment. The main application may include:

1. 01

   The Principal Investor

   The individual who makes the qualifying investment and leads the application.

2. 02

   The Investor's Spouse

   Included in the same application as the principal investor.

3. 03

   Dependent Children Under 18

   Included in the same application as the principal investor and their spouse.

Children aged 18 or older must submit their own independent application if they wish to obtain Turkish citizenship through investment. Depending on the applicant's nationality and personal circumstances, additional legal considerations may apply.

Obtaining Turkish citizenship involves several legal and administrative stages. At POA, we coordinate every step on your behalf while keeping you informed throughout the process.

1. 01

   Initial Consultation

   We begin by understanding your objectives and recommending the most suitable investment route.

2. 02

   Investment Planning

   Our team assists with investment selection, legal due diligence, and compliance before any purchase or investment is completed.

3. 03

   Investment Completion

   The qualifying investment is completed in accordance with Turkish legal requirements.

4. 04

   Letter of Conformity

   The relevant government authority reviews the investment and issues a Letter of Conformity confirming that it satisfies the legal criteria for citizenship.

5. 05

   Residence Permit

   We prepare and submit your residence permit application while coordinating the required biometric appointment in Türkiye.

6. 06

   Citizenship Application

   Once your residence permit has been issued, we prepare and submit the citizenship application to the Ministry of Interior.

7. 07

   Government Review

   The authorities conduct the necessary background and security checks before making a final decision.

8. 08

   Citizenship Approval & Passport

   Once approved, you become a Turkish citizen and may apply for your Turkish passport.
