Egyptian nationals can pursue Turkish citizenship by making a qualifying investment, most commonly through real estate held for a set period. Citizenship is granted by the Turkish authorities once the investment and checks are complete.
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 grants citizenship by investment to qualifying foreign investors and research does not show a nationality bar for Egyptian citizens. Approval rests on the qualifying investment, a clean source of funds, security checks and the supporting documents.
Spouses and dependent children can usually be included in the same application. Confirm the current family rules and document list with the official authority before acting.
The most used route is the purchase of real estate at or above the set threshold, with the title kept for a minimum holding period that is annotated on the deed. Other routes reported under the programme include a fixed capital investment and a bank deposit held for a set period. Figures other than the real estate threshold change over time, so confirm each amount with the authority.
Property values are checked through an official valuation, and the qualifying purchase must be registered at the Land Registry. Confirm the current valuation and registration requirements with the authority.
Once the investment is in place and the file is complete, the programme is reported to move through review to a citizenship decision over several months. The authority publishes current handling times. Confirm the present timeline with the official authority.
Beyond the qualifying investment, applicants meet valuation fees, title and registration costs, government application fees and local professional costs. Confirm the current fees with the official authority.
