This law includes most nationalities with the exception of the following nationalities: Syrian, Armenian, Cuban, Nigerian, and North Korean.
Investors have many real estate investment options to choose from, including:
- Residential real estate: Purchasing residential real estate, such as apartments or houses, is the most popular option for investors seeking Turkish citizenship. These properties can be used for personal residence or rental income.
- Commercial real estate: Investing in commercial real estate, such as offices or shops, is also eligible for citizenship.
- Agricultural land: Investing in agricultural land is one of the options, provided that it meets the minimum investment level.
