Türkiye Retains Citizenship by Real-Estate Investment Without a Residence Requirement

Published: 05.08.2026

According to the sources, Türkiye’s real-estate investment citizenship route does not require applicants to live in the country before or after obtaining a passport. The stated investment threshold is USD 400,000, and the material also describes property registration and related residence-permit procedures.

The sources confirm that Türkiye continues to offer a real-estate citizenship route based on a purchase of at least USD 400,000 without a mandatory residence requirement. For investors seeking a passport rather than an actual relocation, this reduces the need to move to Türkiye or maintain long-term residence there. Applicants still need to pay attention to property registration and transaction documentation, which are connected to the related immigration procedures. This is particularly relevant to Russian citizens and other investors comparing citizenship-by-investment options, so it is worth checking before choosing a route.
