Turkish citizenship can be granted to foreigners for a number of objective reasons. If earlier it was possible to obtain a Turkish passport in most cases by naturalization or marriage, today the state offers an excellent opportunity – to become a citizen of the country under a simplified scheme by investing in its economy.
Foreigners can invest their capital in the development of enterprises and job creation, investment funds, the purchase of government bonds, as well as in the purchase of real estate at a cost of 400,000 US dollars. This rule applies to the purchase of both 1 object and several objects for a total cost of 400 thousand dollars.
