Filed through government-authorised agents

Every application is filed through licensed agents authorised by the government concerned, so the process is fully compliant.

Due diligence preparation

We review your background and source-of-funds documents in advance, reducing requests for more information and delays.

Comparing several countries

We compare total costs and what each passport can do for you — based on your travel needs, family size and budget — rather than selling a single programme.

Clear, transparent fees

All service fees and third-party costs are set out in writing before you sign — no hidden charges — and our refund terms are explained clearly.

Our three guarantees

Full service-fee refund if refused

Guaranteed in your service agreement: if your application is refused, we refund the service fees you have paid in full — or you can switch to another suitable programme at no extra charge.

No extra charge for further documents or resubmission

If the authorities request further documents, or an application must be resubmitted, we handle it at no additional service fee.

Handled by professionals, fee fixed at signing

Every application is prepared and reviewed by our professional immigration team. Your service fee is fixed when you sign, with no additional charges afterwards.

Service fees exclude investment amounts, government fees and third-party costs. Refusals caused by false or incomplete information, or by the applicant not cooperating as required, are not eligible for a refund. Full terms are set out in the service agreement.

Türkiye citizenshipFAQ

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 Türkiye?

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.
