Introduction to Saudi Real Estate Ownership in Turkey

Saudi investors are at the top of the list of foreign investors within the various investment sectors in Turkey, including the real estate sector.

The number of Saudi companies that invest in the real estate sector of Turkey more than 400 companies, with Saudi capital.

Saudis have become more interested in property ownership in Turkey recently, with Saudis occupying the second most foreign owners of real estate in Turkey over the past five years.

This is due to the large government support for investment programs, tax exemptions, and residency programs, in addition to the Turkish Citizenship Law, which gives the right to grant citizenship for those who own a property worth one million dollars.

Thus, the Saudi nationality holders enable them to own all kinds of real estate in Turkey,
including apartments, villas, shops, commercial offices, Stores, hotels, buildings, land, farms and other types of residential and commercial properties.
