Advantages of Turkish Citizenship by Investment
Overview
Turkish Citizenship by Investment does not differ from citizenship attained by birth, it is for life and can be passed down to next generations. All properties in Turkey are freehold properties and applicants are not required to declare worldwide income and assets in other countries. Investors can recover their investments after a must-hold period of three years and there is no inheritance tax unlike in many other developed countries. Turkish citizenship also offers a route to the United States under special visa categories for Turkish nationals. In addition, Turkey offers a favorable business environment with special trade areas set up by the Turkish government, including customs unions, low tax rates and other generous perks including government programs to develop and support businesses.
Requirements
Access to Turkish citizenship was eased for foreign investors with amendments made to Turkey’s citizenship law. The new regulations were published in the Official Gazette on September 18, 2018, lowering minimum investment amount from USD 1 million to USD 250,000 for property acquisitions and from USD 2 million to USD 500,000 for financial investments.
