About Turkish Citizenship Program
Your Key to Global Access
Turkey’s Citizenship by Investment program provides a fast-track route to citizenship within 8-12 months, with no residency requirement. Applicants can choose from several investment options. However, real estate remains the most popular, requiring a minimum investment of $400,000. Astons provides end-to-end support, eliminating the need to liaise directly with realtors or lawyers.
Investing in Turkish property not only enables you to obtain citizenship but also offers an opportunity to preserve and grow your capital. In 2024, property values in Turkey rose by nearly 25%. Turkish passport holders benefit from streamlined processes for opening bank accounts, establishing companies, and accessing high-quality healthcare and education.
