Turkish government opened the investment portal for foreigners and allowed them to own real estate since 2012, but these investments remained classified as foreign investments through which their owners are not entitled to obtain Turkish citizenship, but in late September 2018, Turkish government made a very important amendment to real estate investment and provided Turkish citizenship for free for every investor who buys real estate that worth $ 250.000 or more.

 

Since that time, the real estate investor has been classified as a local investor, as after buying a property or a group of real estate that worth $ 250.000, he can obtain Turkish citizenship within only 30 days, and thus he can complete his investment program with the same advantages that the local citizen obtains, such as bank loans and others.

 

You too, today, while obtaining Turkish citizenship, you can change your name and surname and open a new page of your investment life completely separate from your home country.

 

The Republic of Turkey allows dual citizenship, and therefore without giving up your original identity in your home country, you can start a new life and an investment file with a new name here in Turkey with your family.

 

Before we talk about the advantages of Turkish citizenship and the Turkish passport, the following question comes to mind: Is real estate investment in Turkey profitable?

 

In the above link, we answered the question in detail, but here we will answer briefly in line with the topic of the article.

 

Real estate prices have increased incrementally during the past four years (since the announcement of the Turkish Citizenship Law for the purchase of real estate worth $ 250.000) and thus the real estate investment was very profitable even if measured in terms of foreign currencies.

 

Successful investment properties were able to achieve a profit of more than 100% for the dollar calculation during a period of 3 years, which means a profit of approximately 500% if we calculate with Turkish lira.

 

For example, when an investor purchased a successful investment property in 2019 worth $ 150.000, which was equivalent to approximately 900.000 TL, today he can sell this real estate at a price of $ 300.000, which is equivalent to today approximately 4.5 million Turkish liras.

 

This answers the questions of some investors that the Turkish lira is unstable and constantly declining against foreign currencies, and this is true. At the same time, this does not mean that real estate investment in Turkey, even in the Turkish lira, is not feasible.

Many advantages await you when you and your family obtain Turkish citizenship, but remember that the Turkish citizenship law through real estate investment is an exceptional law and it is subject to cancellation or amendment (raising the required limit for obtaining Turkish citizenship) at any time, so we advise you to take the right step as soon as possible and take an advantage of this law to join the group of local investors in Turkey.
