Are Algerians allowed to own real estate in Turkey?

The amendments made to the real estate ownership law for foreigners in Turkey in 2012 introduced many facilitations in the foreign investment sector in Turkey. The principle of reciprocity was abolished, giving the opportunity for more than 183 foreign nationalities, including Algerian nationality, to own real estate in Turkey. Based on this, Algerians can buy property in various Turkish provinces.

It is noticeable that the percentage of Algerians owning real estate in Turkey has increased, as Turkey has become the preferred destination for Algerian investors.

What types of properties can Algerians own in Turkey?

The real estate ownership law for foreigners in Turkey allows Algerian nationals to own all types of Turkish properties, including residential apartments, villas, shops, stores, hotels, malls, warehouses, and residential or agricultural land, within certain restrictions.

What are the conditions for Algerian ownership in Turkey?

According to the real estate ownership law for foreigners in Turkey, Algerian investors can buy residential apartments, commercial shops, villas, offices, hotels, or warehouses without any conditions or restrictions preventing the completion of the real estate transaction.

As for the ownership of land suitable for construction and housing in Turkey by Algerians in particular and foreigners in general, Turkish laws have set some conditions related to the area of the land. In this context, the conditions for Algerians to own real estate in Turkey are that the total area of land owned should not exceed 10% of the area of the region and 30 hectares throughout Turkey.

Moreover, the real estate ownership law prohibits Algerian nationals from owning agricultural land in Turkey. However, Algerian investors can obtain a title deed for agricultural land by establishing a commercial company under Turkish law and registering the agricultural land in the name of this company as an independent entity.

Required documents for Algerians to own real estate in Turkey

Turkish laws related to ownership and investment specify the necessary documents and required papers for Algerians to own real estate in Turkey as follows:

• Obtaining a tax number.
• Passport certified by a notary public or by the Algerian embassy.
• Personal photos.
• A document proving payment of the title deed fees.
• Real estate appraisal report.
• Earthquake insurance document.

Advantages of owning property in Turkey for Algerians

Obtaining the right of real estate ownership grants Algerian nationals many advantages at both the living and legal levels in Turkey:

Owning property in Turkey for Algerians and real estate residence

Real estate residence is one of the most important advantages that can be obtained through real estate ownership in Turkey. Algerian investors can own property in Turkey and then apply for real estate residence for themselves and all their family members, except for children over 18 years old.

Through this residence, Algerian citizens are guaranteed the right to live, move, invest, and work within Turkish territory legally, and enjoy the right to education in official government schools and treatment in Turkish state hospitals free of charge.

Owning property in Turkey for Algerians and Turkish citizenship

One of the most prominent advantages of owning property in Turkey for Algerians is obtaining Turkish citizenship. By purchasing a property with a value of no less than 400,000 US dollars, Algerian investors can apply for Turkish citizenship, provided that the property is not sold for 3 years.

It is worth noting that Algerian investors are treated as Turkish citizens in terms of compliance with laws and enjoying citizenship rights after obtaining Turkish citizenship, and with a Turkish passport, they can travel wherever they wish around the world with complete ease.
