Is Real Estate Sector the Best Investment in Turkey?

There are many reasons for the increasing demand for Turkish citizenship through investment opportunities, and we will try to summarize them:

Due to the current economic situation in Turkey, which is a gradual decline in the value of the Turkish lira; property prices have also witnessed a relatively sharp decline, and this situation provides foreign investors with reasonable investment opportunities, not to mention obtaining Turkish citizenship as a result of these investments.

The laws do not require investment in a particular type or types of property, meaning that a foreign investor is free to choose what he sees among a wide range of options, such as housing, land, commercial buildings, etc.

The foreign investor's family members are granted the right to obtain Turkish citizenship with the investor. The only exception is the investor's sons who are over the age of 18 years.

Worthy note: The investor no longer needs to provide the title deed as a condition for deciding on the application of nationality through real estate investment. The contract of sale is sufficient so that the investor can buy the property according to the engineering plan or the projects under execution which are trading at very low prices, providing the investor with cost-effective options and future feasibility.
