Citizenship route

Citizenship-Eligible Property in Istanbul

Property that qualifies for Turkish citizenship by investment. How the SPK valuation decides eligibility rather than the price you pay, and the three-year holding commitment.

Qualifying property investment makes you, your spouse and your children under eighteen eligible for Turkish citizenship in a single application. The requirement is a minimum investment held for three years, with a restriction recorded on the title deed for that period. It is the most direct route to a second passport that Türkiye offers, and it is also the one most often described inaccurately.

The threshold is measured against the official SPK valuation, not the price on your contract. A valuation can come in below what you agreed to pay, and if it does, the file fails on a number nobody discussed at the viewing. This is why we treat the valuation as the first step rather than a formality near the end.

What to check. Buy above the threshold, not exactly on it. A file that clears by a margin survives a conservative valuation; a file priced to the line does not.
