Turkish nationals can apply under the Hong Kong Capital Investment Entrant Scheme. This page sets out the investment thresholds, the process and where to confirm the binding rules.
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.
The scheme does not apply to nationals of Afghanistan, Cuba and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Turkey is not on that list, so Turkish nationals can apply on the standard basis.
The main applicant must be at least 18 and must show net assets of not less than HK$30 million throughout the six months before the application. Confirm the current eligibility detail with the Immigration Department.
The scheme requires investment of at least HK$30 million in permissible assets. Of that, a minimum of HK$27 million goes into permissible financial assets or real estate, and HK$3 million goes into a Capital Investment Entrant Scheme Investment Portfolio managed by the Hong Kong Investment Corporation Limited.
Real estate counts within limits set by the rules. Verify which assets qualify and the current caps with the official authority.
Applicants first obtain approval in principle, then make the investment, then receive formal approval and an entry visa. Residency is granted for a set period and renewed against continued compliance. Confirm the current expected timeline with the authority.
The headline commitment is the HK$30 million investment described above. Government fees and professional fees apply separately. See the table for an indicative picture and verify every figure with the authority.
The scheme grants residence in Hong Kong with a path to permanent residence after a continuous qualifying period of ordinary residence, subject to the rules in force. It does not grant citizenship.
