And Citizenship for Life
The Turkish citizenship by investment program is one of the most popular ones among investors.
Cosmopolitans can obtain second citizenship by investing $400,000+ in the country’s economy. There are five options available: purchase of real estate or units of an investment fund or bonds, participation in the share capital of a Turkish company, and opening of a deposit in a Turkish bank.
Family members such as a spouse and children can get second citizenship in Turkey along with the investor.
| 1 | Travel to the Schengen area | Citizens of Turkey can get a C-2 Schengen visa for 5 years. The visa allows citizens to stay in the Schengen countries for up to 90 days out of 180. |
| 2 | Visa-free entry to 100+ countries | Holders of the Turkish passport visit 110 countries without a visa: they freely enter Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and other countries. The visa holders can hold business meetings, travel around the country, get medical treatment and enrol to study in courses that do not lead to a diploma or degree. |
| 3 | “Safe haven” | Investors can go to Turkey at any time, even if the borders are closed. It is crucial in case of an emergency: a political crisis, epidemic, or threat to the safety of family members. The second citizenship gives the right to live, work, study and run a business in Turkey without restrictions. |
| 4 | E-2 business visa to the USA | Turkish citizens can get an E-2 visa, allowing investors and their families to live and work in the USA. The investor opens or buys a business in the USA to get a visa. The minimum investment sum is not defined, but applicants usually invest $100,000+ in a business project. |
| 5 | Tourist visa to the USA | Investors with Turkey citizenship can get a В-1/В-2 visa to the USA. They apply and pass an interview in US consulates in Turkey, e.g. in Istanbul or Ankara. |
| 6 | Prospect of investment return | An investor can return the money three years after obtaining citizenship in Turkey — by selling the investment real estate. There are no sale restrictions. |
