Understanding the Turkish Citizenship by Investment Program
Turkey's citizenship by investment program, launched in January 2017, was designed to attract foreign direct investment and bolster the real estate market. Initially, the minimum investment requirement was set at $1 million, but it was reduced to $250,000 in 2019 to make the program more accessible. Due to its success, the minimum investment amount was increased to $400,000 in 2022. This program allows investors to contribute to the Turkish economy through various means and obtain citizenship quickly.
