The real estate threshold, set at 400,000 US dollars since 2022, remains in place for 2026. Turkey has tightened how property values are assessed, relying on official valuation reports and title deed annotations to curb under valuation and resale within the holding period. Enforcement of the three year hold has become stricter.
Applicants qualify by making a recognised investment and holding it for three years. The most used route is real estate worth at least 400,000 US dollars, supported by an official valuation and a title deed annotation that bars sale for three years. Other routes include a bank deposit, government bonds, a fixed capital contribution or job creation, each with its own minimum set by regulation. Citizenship is granted by Presidential decree, and Turkey allows dual citizenship. Confirm each figure with the official authority.
Watch for any change to the 400,000 US dollar threshold, for shifts in how valuations are checked, and for currency movements that affect the cost in your own money. Turkey is not a European Union member, so the passport does not grant European Union free movement, and that is unlikely to change soon. Verify travel rights and thresholds against official sources before you act.
