Türkiye

Türkiye grants citizenship from a 400,000 USD property investment held three years, with no presence requirement, no language test and dual nationality allowed. Unlike the Caribbean programmes, it has not suspended Russian applicants. It is not, however, a route to visa-free Schengen travel.

Frequently asked questions

Has Türkiye suspended Russian applicants?

No. Unlike the five Caribbean programmes, Türkiye continues to accept Russian applicants in 2026, with no nationality-based suspension.

Does the passport give me a US E-2 visa immediately?

Türkiye has an E-2 treaty with the United States since 1990. Whether a citizen by investment can apply immediately or must first hold three years of residence is disputed, and no official source settles it. Ask a US immigration attorney before relying on it.

What does it really cost?

The official minimum is $400 000, through the cheapest of its 6 routes. Counting government, due-diligence and legal fees, a family of four should budget around $534 000. The advertised figure is never the figure you pay.

What we do for you

Citizenship or residence, the honest answer often is not the one you arrived with. We take the whole procedure with you — eligibility, the route that fits your situation, the file, the follow-up — with one person on your side throughout.

For Türkiye specifically, you are talking to someone who already knows the file: who to speak to on the ground, what the unit actually asks for, and the points where applications stall.

  • One point of contact, from the first call to the certificate
  • Vetted partners on the ground — law firms, licensed agents, banks — introduced, not listed
  • It starts with a short qualifying call, and no, it is not a sales call
