By investing a minimum of $400,000 in prime real estate, applicants and their families gain lifelong citizenship rights, access to a thriving transcontinental economy, and robust rental yield opportunities in world-class metropolitan hubs like Istanbul.
A Turkish passport grants visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 110 countries and territories worldwide, including Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Qatar, and most of Latin America. It also provides a seamless route to establishing a business in the USA via the E-2 Investor Visa program.
