Real Estate & Investment in Türkiye

Property Investment with Legal and Strategic Guidance

Türkiye has become an important destination for international property investors seeking residential, commercial, and investment opportunities. Foreign nationals may acquire qualifying real estate in Türkiye subject to applicable legal restrictions and, depending on their circumstances, property ownership may also support an application for a short-term residence permit.

For investors seeking Turkish citizenship, the acquisition of qualifying real estate valued at a minimum of USD 400,000, together with the applicable three-year restriction on resale, is one of the statutory investment routes for acquisition of citizenship through exceptional procedures.

At BP Group, we assist international clients in navigating the legal, transactional, and administrative aspects of real estate investment in Türkiye.

Who Is This Service For?

Our services are designed for:

• International property investors

Real Estate Acquisition in Türkiye

Foreign nationals may acquire real estate in Türkiye subject to nationality-based eligibility and statutory restrictions. A foreign buyer does not generally need to hold a residence permit as a precondition for acquiring property. Property owners may, subject to the applicable requirements, apply for a renewable short-term residence permit.

Property acquisition and citizenship by investment are separate legal matters. Purchasing a property does not automatically confer Turkish citizenship; the acquisition must satisfy the specific statutory requirements for the citizenship route.

Citizenship by Real Estate Investment

Under the current framework, qualifying foreign investors may apply for Turkish citizenship through the acquisition of real estate valued at a minimum of USD 400,000, provided that the applicable conditions are fulfilled, including a restriction on selling the property for at least three years.

The official process involves, among other matters, property valuation, verification of the investment amount, land registry procedures, and the relevant documentation required by the authorities.

Why Legal Due Diligence Matters

An attractive property is not necessarily a legally suitable investment.

Before committing capital, investors should consider title ownership, existing encumbrances, property status, valuation, transaction documentation, and whether the proposed acquisition satisfies the requirements of the intended residence or citizenship route.

Our approach is designed to identify potential legal issues before they become costly problems.
