Turkey runs an active citizenship by investment programme that is open to qualifying applicants from many countries, including Brazil. This page sets out how the route works, what it can cost and where to confirm the binding detail.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Turkey does not exclude Brazilian nationals from its citizenship by investment programme. The route is built around a qualifying investment held for a set period, with standard checks on identity, security and the source of funds. A main applicant can include a spouse and dependent children under the rules.
Dual citizenship is generally workable here. Turkey permits its citizens to hold another nationality, and Brazil broadly allows dual citizenship as well. Even so, confirm your own position with the Brazilian authorities and a licensed professional before you commit.
The best known route is qualifying real estate, where the value must be confirmed by an official valuation and the property held for a minimum period recorded against the title. There are also financial routes such as a bank deposit or government bonds held for a set period, a fixed capital investment, or creating a set number of jobs.
Applications are filed through the Turkish authorities and supported by the relevant registries. We do not name or rank firms that assist with this. Use Get Matched if you want an introduction to vetted, independent help.
Turkey is known for a relatively quick process compared with many routes, often measured in months rather than years once the file is complete and the investment is in place. Actual times vary with the completeness of the file and verification. Confirm current processing times with the official authority.
The defining cost is the qualifying investment. Government fees, valuation costs, taxes on property purchase, translation and professional fees are separate and additional. The table shows the headline thresholds for the main routes. Confirm the current figures and all fees with the official authority.
A successful application leads to Turkish citizenship and a passport, the ability to pass citizenship to children under the law, and the right to live in Turkey. Visa free or visa on arrival access depends on the destination and changes over time, so verify current travel privileges against an up to date source before relying on them.
