Turkish Citizenship & Residency Lawyer for Investors

In a world where strategic relocation and global citizenship have become powerful tools, Turkey stands out as a gateway between continents, cultures, and opportunities. Our experienced Turkish citizenship lawyers offer professional legal support for foreign investors seeking Turkish citizenship and residency through investment — not just as a legal process, but as a long-term, strategic transition.

Legal Guidance for Turkish Citizenship by Investment

Turkey offers foreign investors a clear path to citizenship through a government-approved investment program. Our team of Turkish citizenship lawyers provides tailored legal services to ensure that each stage of this journey is secure, compliant, and efficient.

  • Determining the eligible investment types (real estate, bank deposit, capital investment)
  • Structuring the investment in accordance with Turkish law
  • Preparing and submitting the citizenship application file
  • Including family members in the application process

We ensure full compliance with the Turkish Citizenship Law (Law No. 5901) and guide our clients through all regulatory steps, including interactions with government institutions, notaries, and banks. For many, this is not just an investment — it is the beginning of a new identity.

Common Investment Options

The most preferred route to Turkish citizenship is real estate investment, with a minimum required amount currently set at $400,000. Other popular options include:

  • Fixed capital investment approved by the Ministry of Industry and Technology
  • Deposit of funds in a Turkish bank for a minimum of three years
  • Investment in government bonds or real estate investment funds

Each of these paths has its own advantages, and our investment immigration lawyers help determine the most suitable structure based on our client’s personal and financial goals.

Residence & Work Permit Applications

Obtaining a residence permit in Turkey is often the first step toward long-term settlement. Our Turkish residency lawyers offer end-to-end legal assistance for individuals and families who wish to live, work, or retire in Turkey.

  • Short-term and long-term residence permits
  • Family residence permits
  • Work permit applications and employer compliance
  • Document preparation, tracking, and follow-up with migration authorities

Our services cover applications made under the Law on Foreigners and International Protection (Law No. 6458), ensuring that each client’s situation is evaluated with precision and legal clarity.

Post-Citizenship Legal Support

Citizenship is not the end — it is the start of a new chapter. Our Turkish immigration lawyers assist clients beyond the approval stage:

  • Assistance with national ID and passport applications
  • Enrollment in Turkish health and education systems
  • Property management and tax guidance
  • Social security registration and financial integration

We also advise on cross-border tax implications and inheritance planning for those who intend to maintain assets both in Turkey and abroad.

Cultural Integration & Language Assistance

Legal support is stronger when combined with cultural understanding. We help clients adapt smoothly to life in Turkey:

  • Legal services with multilingual support
  • Cultural briefings and orientation material
  • Guidance on everyday life, banking, and communication
  • Resources for learning Turkish language and customs

Adapting to a new culture is a process. Our aim is to make this journey as seamless and welcoming as possible.
