About Turkish Golden Visa 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 up to 2 years and can be renewed as long as the investment is maintained for a minimum of 3 years.

Investment Options for Turkish Golden Visa
According to the rules of the Turkish program, the property value must be verified by an independent appraisal and be at least $200,000. We work exclusively with trusted developers whose projects fully meet the legal threshold, or we offer properties with GYO status — real estate investment trusts with public reporting and strict government oversight. This approach ensures transaction transparency and full compliance with the law.
Property Purchase
Option 1
$200,000
Minimum investment
- Residential or commercial property purchase.
- The property can be leased to generate rental income.
- Investors can acquire multiple properties, provided the total value meets, or exceeds, the $200,000 minimum requirement.
- By investing in real estate starting from $400,000, you and your family can obtain Turkish citizenship, with the right to live, work, and study in the country, as well as visa-free access to over 110 countries worldwide.

How to Get Turkish Residency
New Opportunities in 5 Steps
Astons’ team advises, guides and partners with clients throughout the entire process of obtaining a residence permit in Turkey – from preparing and correctly submitting applications, to selecting and purchasing real estate, and finally obtaining 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. You will be accompanied at all stages of this process by your personal Astons’ manager.
Obtaining Ikamet
After the application is reviewed and approved, the residence permit card is produced and sent by the PTT postal service to the registered address in Turkey. In most cases, it is delivered to the nearest PTT branch, where the applicant collects it upon presenting their passport. If a notarised power of attorney is provided, an authorised representative may collect the card on the applicant’s behalf.
Frequently Asked Questions about Turkish Residency
What benefits will I receive with the minimum investment under the Turkish residency program?
With a Turkish Golden visa, you gain the right to live in Turkey, access to high-quality healthcare and education (including free public schooling for children and comprehensive health insurance), the ability to open full-service bank accounts, and the right to conduct business on equal terms with Turkish citizens. This residency status also gives investors the right to apply for citizenship.
Alexander Tsyurupa
Head of Real Estate Sales Department in Türkiye
Can I include family members in the Turkish residence permit application through the investment program?
Yes, the program allows you to include family members in your application. You can add your spouse and children under 18 without the need for additional investment. Adult children with disabilities who are financially dependent may also be included.
Alexander Tsyurupa
Head of Real Estate Sales Department in Türkiye
How long does it take to obtain a Turkish residence permit through investment?
The process typically takes as little as 2 months. It involves selecting and purchasing a property, preparing and submitting the required documents, and awaiting the final decision from the Turkish Migration Office.
Alexander Tsyurupa
Head of Real Estate Sales Department in Türkiye
Does the Turkish residence permit allow me to conduct a business?
Yes, residence permit holders can run a business in Turkey. They are allowed to open bank accounts, engage in entrepreneurial activities, and carry out other financial operations on the same terms as Turkish citizens — an important advantage for foreign investors.
Alexander Tsyurupa
Head of Real Estate Sales Department in Türkiye
What are the requirements for obtaining Turkish citizenship after receiving a residence permit?
To apply for Turkish citizenship through residency, you must maintain resident status for at least 5 years. Alternatively, you may obtain citizenship within as little 8 months by investing $400,000 or more in real estate through a separate citizenship by investment program.
Alexander Tsyurupa
Head of Real Estate Sales Department in Türkiye
Which nationalities are eligible to apply for a Turkish residence permit through investment?
The program is open to all foreigners who meet the legal requirements, such as having no criminal record and sufficient funds for investment.
Alexander Tsyurupa
Head of Real Estate Sales Department in Türkiye
Can I return my investment after purchasing property for a Turkish residence permit?
No, you must maintain ownership to renew the permit, meaning selling it means losing your basis for residency unless you buy new property or qualify under a different permit type.
