Turkey Deposit Immigration Program
Deposit USD 500,000 for 3 years, and your entire family can directly obtain a Turkish passport in one step. No residency, language, or source-of-funds requirements!

 

1. Core Program Policy

✅ Investment Requirement
Deposit USD 500,000 or its equivalent in foreign currency into a compliant bank within Turkey. The funds must be converted to Turkish Lira before the fixed-term deposit and held for a full 3 years.
✅ Exit Mechanism
The principal can be withdrawn in full after the 3-year period. Exchange rate fluctuations during this period do not affect the citizenship application (citizenship is tied to the deposit's holding period; only the duration requirement must be met).

✅ Eligible Dependents
The main applicant may include:

Legal spouse

Minor children under 18 years of age (unrestricted in number; the entire family receives approval simultaneously).

 

2. Application Requirements

Age: At least 18 years old (main applicant).

Background: No criminal record (requires notarization and Apostille certification).

Investment: Fulfill the USD 500,000 fixed-term deposit requirement.

 

3. Eight Major Core Advantages of the Program

Simple Documentation & Fast Approval: Minimal paperwork required for swift approval. The entire family obtains citizenship simultaneously, with no language, residency, or source-of-funds requirements.

Global Mobility: Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 110+ countries and regions, including Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong (China), Macao (China), and more.

Gateway to the USA: Turkey is a treaty country for the U.S. E-2 Treaty Investor visa. An investment starting from USD 200,000 in a U.S. business enables long-term residence.

Education Benefits: Children can apply to top Chinese universities like Tsinghua, Peking University, and Fudan as "international students" (bypassing the National College Entrance Examination, with admission rates potentially increased by 10 times or more).

Wealth Management: The Turkish passport allows for opening accounts with foreign banks, aiding in diversification of currency risks.

Livability: Istanbul is a global first-tier city, offering high-quality medical resources (#1 in Europe for ICU bed capacity) and tourism (the world's 4th most visited country).

Capital Flexibility: The deposit can be fully withdrawn after 3 years, while citizenship is held permanently—effectively a "zero-cost passport".

Economic Potential: Turkey is a G20 member and an EU candidate country. Its GDP exceeded USD 1 trillion in 2023, with real estate prices surging by 52% annually (ranking first globally).
