Turkish Citizenship by Investment: Real Estate Guide for Foreigners

A clear guide to Turkish citizenship by investment through real estate, explaining how foreigners can qualify by investing at least $400,000 in property in Turkey. If you are considering the program, this video walks you through what you need to know before signing anything. I'm Burak Unal, a registered real estate broker in Turkey, and I've worked with many foreign buyers going through the citizenship-by-investment route. In this video I cover the property eligibility rules, the difference between new and resale properties, and why second-hand homes are also valid for the program despite common rumors. I also explain the three values that must each exceed $400,000: the appraisal report, the title deed transaction value, and the bank transfer. You'll see where to start your property search — checking major Turkish project developers for new builds, and using listing sites like sahibinden.com, hepsiemlak.com, and emlakjet.com to research the resale market before contacting agents. I then walk through the buying process itself: getting the currency exchange document from the bank, the title deed appointment, signing, the three-year sale restriction annotation, and the conformity certificate that confirms your investment qualifies. This is meant for foreign buyers who want to understand the steps clearly, avoid common mistakes, and approach the Turkish property market with realistic expectations.
