Citizenship by Investment

  • Purchase a qualifying property
  • Meet the threshold

Turkey offers one of the most accessible citizenship-by-investment programmes in the world — and Istanbul’s real estate market makes it genuinely attractive. Purchase a qualifying property, meet the threshold, and the path to a Turkish passport opens. We coordinate the investment, the permit, and the citizenship application as a single seamless process so nothing falls through the cracks.

Citizenship by Long-Term Residence

  • Five years of legal residence
  • Clean legal backround

Five years of legal residence in Turkey is enough to build the case for citizenship — if your file is clean, your documents are complete, and your application tells the right story. We prepare everything from eligibility assessment to the final submission, making sure your years in Turkey count for exactly what they should.

Citizenship by Marriage

  • 3 years of marriage
  • Continued life in Turkey

Married to a Turkish citizen and ready to make Turkey your permanent home? After three years of marriage and continued life together, Turkish citizenship is within reach. The process involves interviews and background checks — and having the right preparation makes a real difference. We guide you through every stage so there are no surprises.

Exceptional Citizenship

  • Real contribution to Turkey
  • Specific fields

If you have made a genuine contribution to Turkey — in business, science, culture, or sport — exceptional citizenship may be available to you regardless of how long you have lived here. This route is selective and assessed at the highest level, but for those who qualify, we prepare and present the application with the seriousness it deserves.
