FAQ

Common questions before you get started.

What is the minimum investment for Turkish citizenship?+

The government sets a minimum threshold for the real-estate, capital or bank-deposit routes, and it is periodically revised. We confirm the current figure and eligible property types on your first call.

Can foreigners buy property anywhere in Turkey?+

Most areas are open to foreign buyers, but some zones near military or security installations are restricted. We run a title deed and zoning check before you commit to any property.

How long does the citizenship process typically take?+

Timelines vary by route and case load at the relevant ministry, but most well-prepared files move from application to decision within several months.

Do you work with clients remotely, in English?+

Yes. Many clients complete most of the process remotely by video call and power of attorney, visiting Turkey only when an in-person step is legally required.

Is the first consultation free?+

Yes, the first 30-minute call is free of charge and used to scope your case and give you a fixed-fee estimate.
