⚠️ 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. Consult a licensed Turkish immigration attorney before committing.
