Established in 2017, the Turkey Citizenship by Investment Scheme provides one of the fastest and simplest ways to secure a second passport. After initially setting the investment threshold at US $1,000,000 the Turkish government reduced it to US $250,000 in 2019 to make the CBI more attractive, and then issued a decision in April 2022 to raise the minimum real estate investment value to US $400,000.
The application process is straightforward and you can become the proud holder of a Turkish passport within as little as six months.
A wide variety of investment options are available including US $400,000 investment in real estate, US $500,000 cash deposit at a Turkish bank, US $500,000 cash purchase of government bonds, or the creation of 50 jobs in Turkey.
