File 01 · Why Türkiye

One of the fastest, clearest citizenship programs in the world

The Turkish citizenship by investment program is defined by government regulation, runs on official title deed and banking records, and does not ask you to relocate, reside or pass a language test.

4 to 8 months, start to passport

One of the shortest processing times of any investment citizenship program. Most files complete within half a year of the property purchase.

A real asset, not a fee

Your qualifying investment is a property in Istanbul that you own, rent out and may sell after three years. The passport comes with an asset, not instead of one.

File 02.1 · Property Partner

The property itself comes from our own real estate arm

Most advisories send you to an outside agent once the paperwork is done. We do not. Property selection, valuation and title transfer for the $400,000 route are handled by Realty Galaxy Global, our group real estate company under common ownership, with a live portfolio across Istanbul, Antalya, Bodrum and Dubai. One team, one accountability line, from viewing to passport.

File 03 · The Full Cost Picture

No hidden numbers. This is what the program costs.

Most firms in this market hide the true cost inside the property price. We publish the official items up front and fix our own fee in writing at the assessment stage, before you commit to anything.

Your written eligibility opinion includes a personalised version of this table for your family size and property choice.

File 04 · The Asset

Istanbul is the investment, not just the address

A citizenship file is stronger when the underlying asset is sound. Istanbul is a city of sixteen million people, the commercial capital of a G20 economy and the single most liquid property market between Dubai and London.

Rental demand is year-round, resale after the three-year holding period is a genuine market transaction, and your deed is registered in a land system older than most countries.

That is why we work exclusively in Istanbul, and why the brand carries the city's name.

A. R.Karachi, Pakistan. Family of four

They understood the banking realities of transferring funds from our country and structured everything correctly the first time.

File 09 · Common Questions

Asked by almost every client

Do I need to live in Türkiye to keep my citizenship?
No. There is no residency requirement before, during or after the application. Citizenship, once granted, is for life and passes to your children.
Can I sell the property later?
Yes, after three years. The title deed carries a no-sale annotation for that period. Selling later does not affect your citizenship, which is permanent.
Is my family included?
Your spouse and all children under 18 are included in the same application with the same single investment. Children over 18 need their own qualifying investment.
Do I have to visit Türkiye?
Most of the process can run under a power of attorney. In practice one short visit is typical, for banking and biometrics, and many clients combine it with property viewing.
What does your service cost?
We quote a single transparent fee at the assessment stage, covering legal work, translations, filings and our advisory service. No hidden percentages inside the property price.
