General Information
Under Article 12 of the Turkish Citizenship Law, foreign investors can acquire Turkish citizenship under exceptional circumstances. Foreigners can acquire Turkish citizenship without meeting other conditions, as long as they do not pose a threat to national security and public order.
On September 18, 2018, Presidential Decree 106 was issued, which introduced new regulations regarding the amounts mentioned in Article 20 of the Regulation on the Implementation of the aforementioned Law.
What is Fast-Track Citizenship by Investment?
Fast-Track Citizenship by Investment is the process of obtaining Turkish citizenship and a passport by investing in different investment options. This process legally offers citizenship faster than normal immigration processes, without requiring investors to put their lives on hold.
