Tell me if the investment thresholds move
The property threshold has already gone from 250,000 to 400,000 USD once. If it moves again in the next four months, or the holding rules around it change, I email you what changed.
One restore email now. After that, an email only if a figure on this page actually changes in the next four months — written by me, when it happens. Nothing on a schedule. Unsubscribe in one tap. Privacy: here.
This is an estimate
Thresholds and rules are set by Presidential Decree and can change. Legal fees vary widely (1-5%) and many agents charge commissions that can add 3-6% on top. Property valuation must exceed the threshold at an SPK-licensed valuation report. Processing time is typically 3-6 months for the citizenship decree itself after investment completion. Yield assumptions (≈8% USD deposit, ≈6% Treasury) are illustrative estimates as of June 2026 — not guaranteed, and actual rates vary by bank, term, and market. Consult a licensed Turkish immigration attorney before committing.

Government figures checked 4 Aug 2026 against goc.gov.tr and the Resmî Gazete tariff. Charged something different at the office? tell me — that report is worth more than any review. See what has changed since.
