Short answer: Turkey’s citizenship by investment commonly requires purchase of qualifying property at a minimum value (or other official investments), then valuation, title transfer, residence and naturalisation filings. The outcome is citizenship (passport-eligible), unlike residence-only golden visas. Property must meet official criteria; early resale is restricted.

Must I live in Turkey?
Presence duties are relatively limited, but biometrics and document steps still require travel as instructed.
How does it compare with Caribbean CBI?
Both yield citizenship; Turkey is often property-led at the Europe-Asia crossroads; Caribbean programmes use donation or property structures with different visa-free sets.
