British nationals can apply for Turkish citizenship by investment, a direct route to a second passport for the main applicant, a spouse and children under 18. The United Kingdom permits dual citizenship.

British nationals face no nationality specific exclusion. Applicants must make a qualifying investment, hold it for the required period, pass background checks and show a lawful source of funds. The United Kingdom allows dual nationality, so a British applicant can generally hold both passports. Confirm your own position with a licensed professional.
The most used route is real estate. A property or properties with an official valuation of at least 400,000 US dollars, held for three years with a no sale undertaking, qualifies the main applicant together with a spouse and children under 18. Capital routes such as a bank deposit, government bonds, fixed capital investment or qualifying fund shares are reported at 500,000 US dollars, also held for three years. Confirm the current thresholds and accepted assets with the official authority.
Processing depends on valuation, title registration and background checks. Turkish citizenship by investment is often reported as one of the faster citizenship routes, but timelines vary and should be confirmed with the official authority rather than assumed.
Beyond the qualifying investment, applicants should budget for valuation, title and notary costs, government and application fees and professional support, plus currency and transfer costs. We do not publish a fixed total here. Confirm the current fee schedule with the official authority.
| Route | Indicative minimum | Holding period |
|---|---|---|
| Real estate | 400,000 US dollars | Three years, no sale undertaking |
| Bank deposit | 500,000 US dollars | Three years |
| Government bonds | 500,000 US dollars | Three years |
| Fixed capital or fund shares | 500,000 US dollars | Three years |
