What points should we pay attention to in order to obtain Turkish citizenship by buying a property?

• One of the most important points to consider when buying a property to obtain Turkish citizenship is the price of the property. According to the latest Turkish immigration law, you are required to fill the ceiling of 400,000 dollars to purchase real estate. Now you can fill this amount by buying a luxury apartment or buying several apartments in a poorer neighborhood. But you may pay an amount more than this, but it is not approved by the inspector. Now the question arises, when does this happen? In some cases, the project or the person you buy from, the ability or intention They do not show the price of the property, this does not mean that the said property is not worth this amount with your agreed price. This happens when the builder has provided fewer project construction costs to the government. Or the seller of the property less than 5 years from the time of purchase intends to sell now and the price mentioned in the document is much lower than your agreed price. Now, because these people, if they want to show the real price, they will be subject to a tax of 22 to 35 percent. They will not be willing to provide the real price to the government and will demand their money in cash. In this case, you will not be able to obtain Turkish citizenship on the purchased property.
• Your purchase must be purchased from a Turkish seller. Or manufacturers who have complete documents accepted by the Turkish government and have registered the company in Turkey.
• You will not be able to sell the property for 3 years. The Turkish government receives a written guarantee from you for this matter. Your citizenship rights will be revoked in case of violation.
• The fourth thing is that you must transfer the property amount from your bank account to the buyer’s account. And in the description section, enter exactly that the reason for this deposit is for the desired property and to obtain citizenship.
• Also, choose a good and experienced lawyer in this field who will do your citizenship work in the best way. We at Negin Group will provide you with the best possible legal services and have experienced lawyers.
• You can buy several properties and apply for a Turkish passport together.

Important cases of acquiring Turkish citizenship by purchasing real estate in installments:

Some completed projects allow their customers to purchase property in installments to obtain Turkish citizenship. But is this possible? Yes!

Here we will explain the upcoming modes for you with examples so that you can understand this issue better. If you buy a property with a price higher than 400,000 dollars. For example, $500,000 and if you have paid $400,000 in cash, you will be able to obtain Turkish citizenship by presenting the payment documents and the required documents. If you have named a percentage of the document that fills the value of 400,000 dollars, you can easily apply for Turkish citizenship. If you don’t provide documents, you can take action, but you will have a difficult road ahead.

Note that if you take a loan on your document, you will not be able to get citizenship on that document.

You should always pay attention to these small but very important points. Also, in this case, you will not have the right to sell your property for up to 3 years. If you want to sell your property to a foreigner who wants to apply for a passport, you must do it after 5 years.

The next thing is that if you bought a property in a different period of time, you can use it for Turkish citizenship. But you should pay attention to the fact that you have done the payment and transfer procedures correctly for the properties you have bought before.

You may have bought your old property with a mortgage or bank mortgage. In this case, it is not possible to show the amount you put in the mortgage to obtain Turkish citizenship. These are very important points that you should pay special attention to in order to reach your goal. And not complying with any of these issues will prevent you from obtaining citizenship and your capital will suffer losses. Or at least fall behind in reaching your goal.

Can we rent out our properties after obtaining Turkish citizenship in Turkey?

2. You are not allowed to rent your property to people who are not allowed to stay in Turkey. If this happens, you will be dealt with legally and in the most optimistic case, a fine will be considered for you.
