Turkey runs a citizenship by investment programme with applications handled by the Presidency of Migration Management. Lebanese nationals can apply on the standard basis and have been among the regional applicant groups. This page sets out the current position so you can plan.
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.
Lebanese nationals are eligible. The programme draws applicants from across the Middle East and there is no reported bar on Lebanese citizens. Approval rests on a qualifying investment and due diligence, not on nationality.
Applicants must hold the investment for the required period and pass background checks. There is no residence or language requirement to qualify. Confirm the live rules with the Presidency of Migration Management.
Several investment routes exist. The best known is the purchase of real estate at or above the set minimum, held for a required period with a sale restriction noted on the title deed. Other routes include a fixed bank deposit, government bonds and capital investment that creates jobs. A licensed valuation report is required for the property route. Confirm the live list of routes and minimums with the official authority before committing any money.
The process is often completed within a few months of a complete file, though times vary with volume and checks. No physical residence is required. Confirm current processing times with the Presidency of Migration Management.
