What are the advantages of buying a property in Turkey ?
- Low tax in Turkey , the decision to reduce taxes in Turkey is one of a series of decisions concerning the real estate sector in Turkey , and was reflected positively in stimulating foreign investors to own property in Turkey , which contributed to the revival of the real estate market in Turkey in general . The most important tax deductions are : Exempting the foreign buyer from the value added tax due on the property .
- Obtaining a residence permit , where foreigners who own properties in Turkey , whose price is less than $ 250.000 , are granted a residence permit that is renewed annually . Real estate residence permit in Turkey is granted to the landlord , his wife , and his children under the age of 18 .
- Real estate in Turkey is the cheapest real estate investment in Europe , where real estate prices in Turkey are considerably cheaper than those in Europe , with similar features in infrastructure , and similar in structure of developed European countries .
- Real estate investment in Turkey provides a profitable investment return , based on the economic activity and rapid urban development , and the strength of tourism in Turkey , which is best reflected in the periods and tourist seasons , through the demand for rental homes during those seasons distributed throughout year .
What are the nationalities forbidden to own real estate in Turkey ?
According to Turkish laws , foreigners residing in Turkey from most nationalities are allowed to own real estate in Turkey , but for some foreign nationalities this law does not include them , unfortunately , and its citizens are prohibited from real estate ownership in Turkey , and these nationalities are : Syrian , Armenian , Cypriot , North Korean , and Cuban .
This excludes special cases such as :
- Turkish citizens who are citizens of the previous countries .
- Those with a second citizenship are allowed to own real estate in Turkey .
- Citizens of Northern Cyprus .
Why Turkey prevents these nationalities from owning real estate ?
For Syrians , the reason for preventing them from real estate ownership in Turkey dates back to 1939 , when the French Mandate government in Syria confiscated the property of the Turks in Syria .
But the situation has changed , that the numbers of Syrians in Turkey have increased dramatically since 2011 , and they constitute an important number in the Turkish economy and the labor market , so real estate experts seek to lift the ban on Syrians and benefit from them in the real estate sector in Turkey , which will certainly make a big positive difference . Soon it is expected that the decision to allow Syrians to own real estate in Turkey .
For the Armenians , the historical events between Turkey and Armenia and the war between the Armenians and the Turks prior to World War I affected their political and economic relations until the present time . Therefore , the Turks continued to prohibit real estate ownership for Armenians inside Turkey , and it is not expected that this ban will be abolished for Armenians in the near future .
Reasons for preventing other nationalities
As for other nationalities , the prevention of their citizens from real estate ownership in Turkey is due to reasons related to the imposition of international sanctions , where the Turkish government is committed to do so .
Are there ways to allow owners of these nationalities to own real estate in Turkey ?
Certainly there are some ways in which the owners of some nationalities can be allowed to own real estate in Turkey , but the owner of the property does not obtain all the rights that realtors enjoy from other foreign nationalities .
The most prominent and easiest way is to establish a company in Turkey . Establishing a company in Turkey that allows you to buy real estate under the name of the company that you founded , and you have the right to live in it or invest and sell it , but in this case the property owner does not obtain real estate residence in Turkey , nor can he apply for citizenship through real estate investment in Turkey .
