How to Get Turkish Citizenship

I want to take Turkish citizenship. How do I get it? What are the requirements for obtaining Turkish citizenship? Where do I start the process of obtaining Turkish citizenship? And many other questions to consider when thinking about wanting to obtain citizenship. There are many people who want to settle down and do not want to stand in airports or at official or government transactions repeatedly and have financial means and are unsure of how to obtain citizenship. They find themselves worried. Who will help them? Especially with so many confusing ways and multiple agencies? Therefore, GLOBINYA has made it its mission to guide those interested in the Turkish citizenship through investment program to the port. The Turkish citizenship through investment program aims to provide investors with facilities to obtain a Turkish passport. The minimum investment in real estate used to be one million US dollars. In 2017, the Turkish government issued a special decision and determined the value of real estate investment that qualified for Turkish citizenship at $250,000. In June 2022, it issued a decision to raise the minimum investment in real estate to $400,000. The application process and procedures are simple and clear. You can obtain a Turkish travel passport within a period of no more than six months. There are other ways to obtain citizenship, such as making a cash deposit of $500,000 in a Turkish bank and converting the dollars into Turkish lira and not being allowed to use it for three years. Other ways include making large investments or obtaining a work permit for five years or through exceptional citizenship, which is exceptionally granted with special criteria.
