How to Get Turkish Citizenship by Investment for Russians?

Foreigners can obtain Turkish citizenship by investment, including citizens of Russia. The process for obtaining Turkish citizenship through investment is governed by the Regulation on the Implementation of the Law on Turkish Citizenship, which outlines the requirements and procedures for obtaining citizenship by investment.

1. To qualify for Turkish citizenship by investment, an applicant must meet the following requirements:
2. Have sufficient financial resources to support themselves and their dependents in Turkey.
3. Make a fixed capital investment of at least 500,000 USD in Turkey, or buy real estate in Turkey with a minimum value of 4000,000 USD.
4. Provide documentation of their investment, such as proof of purchase or ownership of the property.
5. Have a clean criminal record in Turkey and their country of origin.
6. Pass a Turkish language test unless they are exempt due to age or disability.

If an applicant meets these requirements, they can apply for Turkish citizenship by submitting the required documents and paying the applicable fees to the Directorate General of Population and Citizenship Affairs. The application process typically takes several months to complete, and the applicant may be required to attend an interview with the authorities.

Importantly, obtaining Turkish citizenship by investment only automatically grants the applicant the right to work or study in Turkey. They must obtain the appropriate visas and permits to engage in these activities.
