Turkey Citizenship
The Turkish Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program, has in a few years, become the most popular CBI program in the world, and that too by a large margin.
With over 13 years of experience in all areas of international immigration and in-house world-renowned Turkish immigration attorneys, we at Migratesmart provide a ‘single point of contact’ for all services related to Turkey, including establishing a business. Our LRS & FEMA advisory for foreign outward remittances, ensures that you are compliant with all government rules & regulations.
Citizenship
Turkey allows for foreign citizens to acquire Turkish Citizenship based upon a quantum of investment in specified categories. See “Requirements” below.
Turkish Citizenship differs from other citizenship options available in other parts of the world because many of the benefits it offers are located within Turkey, although it does offer benefits outside the country in terms of travel and business possibilities in US and Europe. It is particularly attractive for investors who want to do business in the region.
The property investment route to acquiring citizenship is, by far, the most popular route. Property(ies) must have a verified “Valuation Report” in place to qualify for acquisition of citizenship.
A bank account can be opened for you remotely without you travelling to Turkey. If you so desire, we can also finalize the property selection and transfer of sale, as well as other necessary tasks, remotely without your presence in Turkey through a Power of Attorney (PoA), OR you can visit turkey to complete all formalities. We will advise you on the list of documents needed, the attestation procedures and preparation of your documents. We will require you to travel to Turkey at the final stage once your citizenship status is officially declared in order to provide Biometrics. Post Biometrics, we will arrange for your passport(s) and ID Cards to be delivered to you.
Real Estate
The Turkish real estate you choose must have –
- A Valuation Report (from a government approved valuer) in place before filing of your application
- A building license (if you are investing in residential or commercial property)
- A clear Title Deed free from any encumbrances
