Turkish Citizenship by Investment: Country-Specific Guides

The program rules are the same for every applicant. What changes (sometimes dramatically) is what the rules mean for you, based on what your current nationality does and doesn’t allow, what your tax exposure looks like at home, and what specific friction your funds face on their way into a Turkish bank account.

The pages below address what we get asked most often by clients from each country, written for that specific situation rather than translated from a generic template.

Americas and Europe

• US Citizens →. FATCA, the tax footprint, and why this program belongs in some American plans and not in most.
• British Citizens →. Post-Brexit calculus, what the Turkish passport actually adds to a UK document, and where it doesn’t help.

South Asia

• Pakistani Nationals →. The formal dual-nationality understanding, and the State Bank-side work that decides the timeline.
• Indian Citizens →. The non-negotiable: Indian citizenship goes. When the trade still makes sense and when it doesn’t.

East Asia and the wider region

• Chinese Nationals →. Article 9 of the PRC Nationality Law, the E-2 endgame, and the three-year domicile reality.
• Russian Nationals →. Largest single buyer group three years running. Banking choreography, district concentration, and what the file really requires now.

Middle East and North Africa

• Saudi Nationals →. The royal-permission question and the property-with-or-without-citizenship choice that often makes more sense.
• UAE Nationals →. When an already-strong passport still picks Türkiye — Mediterranean property, EU adjacency, family planning.
• Iranian Nationals →. The source-of-funds work that decides everything, and the districts to avoid for resale reasons.
• Egyptian Nationals →. Law 26 of 1975 permission, the CBE-side outward investment work, and the realistic timeline.
• Jordanian Nationals →. Clean dual-citizenship position, the smoother regional file, and the Palestinian-Jordanian document specifics.

Africa

• Nigerian Nationals →. The CBN-and-FX work that decides whether the file closes in months or in many.
