About Turkish Residency Program
Your Solid Plan B
Turkey offers a reliable and effective pathway for foreign nationals to obtain residence through a property-based investment. A Turkish residence permit, known as the Ikamet, can be obtained by purchasing real estate valued at a minimum of $200,000, regardless of a region or location.
The residency provides access to the country’s high-quality healthcare and education systems, as well as the ability to open full-service bank accounts, connecting holders to the global financial system. The residence permit is valid for one year initially and can be renewed as long as the investment is maintained for a minimum of 3 years.

How to Get Turkish Residency
New Opportunities in 5 Steps
Astons’ qualified lawyers advise, guide and partner with our clients throughout the entire process of obtaining a residence permit in Turkey — from preparing and correctly submitting your application, to selecting and purchasing real estate, and finally obtaining your residence card(s).
Consultation with Astons’ immigration specialists
Our specialists will analyse and review your situation in detail and advise on the main aspects of the program for obtaining a Turkish residence permit. We will help you collect and check all the necessary documents and select the best real estate for investment that satisfies your wants and needs.
Inspection and purchase of real estate
We will prepare a personalised portfolio of real estate properties tailored to your requirements, so you can visit Turkey to inspect those of interest. Once you make your final decision, we guarantee a fast and secure purchasing/closing process.
Preparation of documents
Astons’ experienced immigration consultants will help prepare all the necessary documents and check each one for compliance with the program requirements to minimise any setbacks during the application process.
Submitting the application
The application and accompanying documents need to be personally submitted by the applicant to the Migration Department. In addition, biometric data must be provided in Turkey. A decision on the application will be made within three months. You will be accompanied at all stages of this process by your personal Astons’ manager.
Obtaining Ikamet
After the application has been reviewed and a positive decision passed, the applicant receives a residence permit card via courier to the registered address in Turkey or to the nearest post office. The applicant is required to personally receive the residence permit from the courier and present their passport for ID purposes.
