Not only is Turkey known for its rich heritage and one of a kind culture, but also for its strategic location between Europe and Asia that has given the country major financial, economic and political influence in the region.
Apart from being an attractive tourism destination, Turkey is also perceived as a prime investment destination among investors, particularly the ones interested in obtaining a second passport to secure their future and that of their family.
The Government of Turkey launched Turkey Citizenship by Investment in 2018 granting investors the Turkish Passport in 3 to 4 months. The program allows investors to obtain a second passport either through:
- The acquisition of immovable property for a value of $250,000.
- The property can be residential, commercial or land and must be held for at least 3 years.
- Or through a capital investment by placing at least $500,000 in a Turkish Bank retained for 3 years.
