The Turkish authorities have increased the minimum amount of investment in real estate, which is necessary to obtain citizenship through investment programe. If earlier it was possible to get Turkish citizenship with purchase of real estate worth of at least 250k dollars, now only investors who invest in real estate worth of at least 400k dollars can obtain citizenship . The decision was made against the sharp rise in housing prices in Turkiye. The amendment came into force on June 13, 2022.

The rules for obtaining citizenship under the real estate investment program remain unchanged:

real estate must not be sold for at least 3 years after purchase, and must be purchased from a Turkish person or company.
