Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Fergus Wu, Co-founder & Chief Immigration Consultant

Summary

Ms Fan’s Turkey citizenship experience. She wanted a second passport and a steady income.

Background

Ms Fan, from Hong Kong, applied with her husband. She wanted a second passport and a steady income.

Main concern

She worried the property would sit empty for three years.

Our approach

We explained the property can be let during the holding period and freely dealt with after three years.

Process and outcome

She received citizenship and passports in about 5 months, with steady rental income.

Adviser’s comment

Turkish property must be held for three years, but can be let in the meantime.

Turkey citizenship application process

  1. Assessment and property search (2–4 weeks): We shortlist properties by budget and use.
  2. Purchase and valuation (1–2 months): Complete the purchase and obtain the certificate of eligibility.
  3. Residence and citizenship application (Several months): Obtain a residence permit and submit the citizenship application.
  4. Passport (After approval): Receive citizenship and passports on approval.

FAQ

Can I sell the property after three years?

Yes. Once the three-year holding period ends you can sell the property, and your citizenship is unaffected.

Do I need to live in Turkey?

No. There is no residence requirement, either when applying or after becoming a citizen.

Do I need to give up my current nationality?

This country recognises dual citizenship, but you must separately confirm whether your current country of nationality allows it.
