For high-net-worth individuals and their families, a second passport is more than a travel document—it’s a gateway to global mobility, new business opportunities, and a secure future. The Turkish Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program stands out as one of the most attractive and streamlined options in the world.
While the program is designed to be efficient, the legal and financial process requires meticulous attention to detail. Mistakes or misinformation can lead to costly delays or even rejection.
This ultimate guide for 2025 is your definitive roadmap. We will break down the entire process, clarify the requirements, and show you how to navigate this journey with confidence. As specialists in Alanya real estate and the CBI program, we at Kurt Safir turn this complex journey into a streamlined success story.
Launched to attract foreign investment, the Turkish CBI program allows individuals and their families to acquire Turkish citizenship by making a qualifying investment in the country. While there are several investment routes, such as a bank deposit or capital investment, the real estate acquisition path is by far the most popular, fastest, and financially advantageous option. It not only secures a passport but also a tangible, high-value asset in a thriving Mediterranean market.
To ensure your application is successful, you must meet the following criteria, updated for 2025:
The core requirement is to purchase real estate with a minimum value of $400,000 USD or its equivalent in another foreign currency. This can be a single property or multiple properties to meet the threshold.
You must commit to holding the purchased property (or properties) for a minimum period of three years from the date of purchase. You are free to sell the property and repatriate your capital after this period.
Crucially, not every property is eligible. The title deed (TAPU) must be clean, and the property must have the necessary habitation licenses (İskan). Working with an expert who can identify and verify pre-approved, “citizenship-eligible” properties is vital.
The main applicant, their legal spouse, and all dependent children under the age of 18 can be included in a single application. All applicants must have a clean criminal record.
We have refined the citizenship process into a clear, 8-step journey to ensure our clients experience a seamless and efficient path to their new passports.
Step 1: Partner with a CBI Specialist and Select Your Property This is the most critical step. A specialist partner like Kurt Safir will present you with a portfolio of government-approved, high-ROI properties in Alanya that meet all legal requirements, saving you from potential pitfalls.
Step 2: Obtain a Tax ID Number and Open a Turkish Bank Account These are logistical necessities for any official transaction in Turkey. This is a quick process that we facilitate for our clients.
Step 3: Secure the Official Property Valuation Report An independent, government-licensed expert must conduct a valuation of the property to officially confirm its value is at or above the $400,000 USD threshold.
Step 4: Complete the Purchase and Secure the Title Deed (TAPU) Once the funds are transferred, you will take ownership of the property. At this stage, a legal annotation (şerh) is added to the title deed, noting that it cannot be sold for three years, a key requirement for the application.
Step 5: Obtain the Certificate of Conformity (Uygunluk Belgesi) This is the official letter issued by the relevant government ministry confirming that your real estate investment has fulfilled all the requirements of the CBI program.
Step 6: Apply for Your Short-Term Residency Permit As an investor, you and your family are granted a short-term residency permit, which is a necessary prerequisite before the citizenship application can be formally submitted.
Step 7: Submit the Official Citizenship Application With all the above documents in hand, the official citizenship file is submitted to the Directorate General of Migration Management.
Step 8: Receive Your Turkish ID Cards and Passports After a background check and final approval from the government, you and your family are officially Turkish citizens. You will be invited to provide biometrics and will then receive your Turkish ID cards and passports.
Choosing to make your qualifying investment in Alanya offers unique advantages beyond the passport itself:
Dual Return: Your $400,000 investment doesn’t have to be idle. In Alanya’s robust rental market, your property can generate significant rental income during the 3-year hold period. Combined with strong capital appreciation, you gain a passport and a profitable investment.
Unmatched Lifestyle: Instead of just a paper asset, you gain a home in one of the most beautiful resort cities on the Mediterranean. You and your family can enjoy the incredible lifestyle Alanya offers whenever you wish.
A Proven & Secure Market: Alanya has a long and successful history with foreign real estate investors. It’s a stable, secure, and transparent market, providing peace of mind for your investment.
How long does the entire Turkish citizenship process take? Typically, the entire process from property selection to receiving your passports takes approximately 4-6 months, making it one of the fastest programs in the world.
Do I have to live in Turkey or learn Turkish? No. There are no residency requirements (you do not need to live in Turkey before, during, or after the application) and no language tests.
Can I rent out my property during the 3-year holding period? Absolutely. This is a key benefit of the real estate option, allowing you to earn income from your investment from day one.
What happens after 3 years? After the 3-year holding period is over, you are free to sell the property (often for a profit) and you will retain your Turkish citizenship for life.
Acquiring Turkish citizenship through investment is a valuable and life-changing decision. While the path is clear, it demands precision, local knowledge, and expert handling of every legal and financial detail.
At Kurt Safir, we specialize in sourcing citizenship-approved properties that also meet our high standards for quality and investment potential. We don’t just sell you a property; we manage the entire application process on your behalf, coordinating with lawyers, notaries, and government offices.
We turn a complex journey into a streamlined success story.
