Is the real estate investment with citizenship the best investment in Turkey?

There are many reasons why real estate investment for getting citizenship one of the most important investment opportunities in Turkey. Thus, we try through the following points to summarize the reasons and motives that have driven foreign investors to turn to Turkey in the current stage, the most important of which is the desire to invest and get Turkish citizenship:

• The current economic situation in Turkey is represented by a temporary decline in the value of the Turkish lira. Real estate prices have witnessed a relative decline, which gave foreign investors reasonable investment opportunities, with high profitability, in addition to obtaining Turkish citizenship as a result of these investments.

This makes it possible to buy facilities, hotels, gas stations, hospitals, luxury residences or villas at lower prices than before.

• Laws do not ask for investment in a specific type of property. In other words, the foreign investor is free to choose what he wants in a wide range of options, such as residences, land, commercial buildings, and others.
• Foreign investor’s Family members are granted the right to get Turkish citizenship with the investor, the only exception being the children of the investor over the age of 18 years.
• Tax exemptions or cuts on foreign investments have given an additional incentive to invest in Turkey.
• Government facilities for foreign investments, which are for the benefit of the foreign investor.

• Investment in ready-to-hand projects: This helps in assessing the property and detecting its defects more than the property purchased on the map, and to ensure that the implementation of the property is not delayed and received, which leads to freezing of capital for periods that may be long.
• Investment within the investor's financial capacity: Due to the fact that real estate investment is a long-term investment, the investor must study its financial situation well, and determine its investment and financial capabilities.
• Diversification of real estate investment, where it is always preferable to diversify the real estate portfolio as much as possible, such as investing in an apartment and a shop. Diversification of the real estate portfolio raises the profit and is safer when markets fluctuate.
