Overview

Programme Overview

The Turkish Citizenship-by-Investment Programme, formally enacted in 2017 and anchored in the Turkish Citizenship Law No. 5901, represents one of the most commercially attractive global mobility and asset diversification frameworks in the world. Positioned as a major G20 economy and a historic geographic bridge between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Turkey offers a uniquely powerful combination of an elite lifestyle asset and robust sovereign backing. Operating under the strict statutory oversight of the Ministry of Interior and the Directorate General of Migration Management, the programme allows qualified international investors to secure full, lifetime citizenship through strategic economic deployment. For clients of Burbridge Capital, Turkey delivers a highly tangible investment proposition — offering an efficient corporate launching pad, premium real estate exposure, and an incredibly lucrative fiscal environment for long-term wealth preservation.

Investment Options

Capital Pathway

Primary Route
Government-Approved Real Estate Acquisition
From USD 400,000
Purchase of freehold or commercial title deeds to qualifying physical property inside the Republic of Turkey — luxury residential apartments, premium commercial spaces, or upscale holiday villas. The investment can be fulfilled by purchasing a single property or a portfolio of multiple properties, provided the total combined officially appraised value meets the minimum threshold. Offers potential annual rental returns and a clear capital liquidation pathway after the mandatory hold period, while retaining citizenship for life.
Hold period: 3 years minimum
The Process

How Burbridge Capital
manages your application

1
Legal Onboarding & Property Selection
Burbridge Capital conducts a private preliminary background check. Upon clearance, our elite real estate division assists in selecting and securing a qualifying property valued at USD 400,000+. A formal purchase agreement is executed.
2
Valuation & Title Deed Registration
A government-licensed appraisal firm conducts a mandatory evaluation to confirm market value. Funds are wired from the investor's international account to the seller through an approved Turkish bank. The title deed (Tapu) is registered with a 3-year no-sale restriction.
3
Issuance of Eligibility Certificate
Our legal team submits the title deed, valuation report, and bank transfer receipts to the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change. The Ministry issues an official Certificate of Eligibility confirming the investment meets all statutory CBI criteria.
4
Investor Residency & Dossier Submission
A specialised temporary Investor Residence Permit is immediately granted to the main applicant and family. Concurrently, the complete, legalised, and translated citizenship dossier is formally filed with the Provincial Directorate of Migration Management.
5
Government Vetting & Presidential Approval
The application undergoes comprehensive, multi-tiered security screening by the Ministry of Interior and national intelligence agencies. Upon clearance, the President of the Republic signs the official decree granting naturalisation.
6
ID Card & Passport Issuance
The applicant and included family members attend a brief appointment at their nearest Turkish Embassy or Consulate to provide biometrics. National identity cards and biometric passports are printed and delivered via Burbridge Capital.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the newly passed 20-year tax law benefit my international wealth structures?+
The recently enacted 20-year tax law is a significant breakthrough for global wealth protection. It provides a legally binding, 20-year sovereign guarantee ensuring that any wealth or income generated outside of Turkey is entirely exempt from domestic personal income tax. It essentially creates an ironclad corporate and personal tax shield, making Turkey one of the most competitive tax-neutral hubs for high-net-worth individuals globally.
Can I purchase multiple properties to reach the USD 400,000 threshold?+
Yes. You are not restricted to buying a single property. You can purchase a portfolio consisting of multiple residential apartments, commercial offices, or land plots, provided that all properties are purchased within a close timeframe, are submitted under a single application, and their combined officially appraised value meets or exceeds USD 400,000.
Am I legally required to use a Turkish bank account to complete the property purchase?+
Yes. To satisfy strict anti-money laundering and CBI compliance protocols, the investment capital must be wired directly from an international bank account held in the main applicant's name into a regulated Turkish bank account. The funds are then converted via the Turkish Central Bank (Döviz Alım Belgesi) into local currency before being transferred to the property seller.
Can I rent out the property immediately after purchase, and can I sell it after 3 years?+
Absolutely. You retain full ownership rights over your asset from day one. You are legally permitted to rent out the property immediately to generate premium rental yields. Upon reaching the 3-year anniversary of your title deed registration, the "no-sale" restriction is automatically lifted, allowing you to liquidate the asset, recoup your capital, and retain your Turkish citizenship permanently.
Can I include my children over the age of 18 or my dependent parents in the application?+
Under Turkish CBI legislation, eligible dependants are strictly limited to the principal applicant's legal spouse and biological or legally adopted children under the age of 18. Children over 18 or dependent parents cannot be included under the main application; however, they can be granted long-term residency permits backed by your property asset.
Is a physical visit to Turkey mandatory at any stage of the citizenship application?+
No, a physical visit is not strictly mandatory. The property selection, purchase execution, title deed transfer, and initial citizenship submission can be completed fully remotely via a specialized Power of Attorney granted to Burbridge Capital’s legal team. You would only need to visit a Turkish Embassy or Consulate in your home country to collect your final passports and ID cards.
