Turkish Citizenship by Investment (Pros and Cons)

Promotional activities to market Turkey, unfortunately, focus on the positive aspects of the country.

When the websites of real estate companies are examined, it is possible to find dozens of similar content. Being impartial in this matter would be the best behavior for us as a Turk.

First of all, the minimum investment amount to be made in order to become a citizen through investment and obtain a second passport has been arranged to 400,000 USD.

I know the amount is high. The following question may come to mind; "Why should I live in Turkey, which is drowning under the influence of Arab culture, when there are much better conditions in Germany, Portugal, or Greece?"

First of all, there are no compelling laws as in other countries. You do not need to know Turkish even at a beginner level. You don't even need to live in Turkey. You can even get citizenship online.

The desire to make money lies at the heart of the policies that reduce the country's passport to a product that can be bought from the market.

It should also be noted that it is not easy to find a property worth $250,000 in Istanbul, as many foreign investors demand.

You should be willing to pay much more for a property with Bosphorus or forest view. If you are going to live in an entry-level apartment, you should be prepared to socialize with noisy Arab neighbors.

Of course, for a Pakistani or an Afghan, Turkey is a paradise. They barbecue on the beach, smoke hookahs, photograph passing women and share them on their TikTok pages. Turkey has almost become a booming point.

There is no policy in Turkey focused on integrating incoming investors, promoting Turkish culture, and explaining etiquette.

Since I work in the real estate sector, I am well aware of the breakdown of the investors. Iran and Russia are the top countries. Meanwhile, Iranians are much more tidy and polite people than disrespectful Arabs.

Turkey's borders are riddled. The ruling party, which focused on giving citizenship to the uneducated masses and increasing their votes before the 2023 elections, unfortunately, ignores this situation.

According to a person living under pressure in Iran, Turkey is a paradise, as I said, but when I ask my Iranian friends, they also say that they will return to their country after the political conditions change. I made a survey on this subject and all of them answered in this direction.

I can elaborate on the subject further, but I think it would be better to divide it into different headings and proceed.

However, I would recommend people who are considering living and investing in Turkey to contact us via the comment section or contact form and seek advice.
