Can I Buy Commercial Properties or Land to Obtain Turkish Citizenship by Investment?

Eligibility of Various Real Estate Types for Turkish Citizenship

Yes, you can obtain Turkish citizenship through the Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program by purchasing various types of real estate, including:

  1. Commercial Properties:
    Investing in commercial properties such as office buildings, retail spaces, or warehouses qualifies you for the CBI program. These properties can also provide rental income, adding to your investment's value.

  2. Residential Properties:
    Residential real estate, including apartments and villas, is a popular option among investors. These properties not only allow you to secure citizenship but can also serve as homes or rental investments.

  3. Land:
    Purchasing land is also eligible for the CBI program. If you invest in land with the intention of developing it in the future or using it for agricultural purposes, it can still qualify you for citizenship.

Regardless of the type of real estate you choose, the total investment must be at least $400,000 USD. All properties—commercial, residential, and land—count toward meeting this requirement, allowing you to diversify your investment strategy while pursuing Turkish citizenship.
