Turkish Citizenship by Investment: Your Gateway to Europe and Asia
Expert Turkish citizenship services since 1992
Turkish citizenship by Property Purchase
The most popular route to Turkish citizenship is through real estate investment. By purchasing property valued at a minimum of $400,000 USD, you and your family can qualify for Turkish citizenship within 5-6 months. Our experienced Istanbul property lawyers handle every aspect of your real estate transaction, from due diligence to title deed registration. We ensure your property investment meets all legal requirements set by the Turkish Ministry of Interior. Our comprehensive services include property valuation verification, legal ownership transfer, and citizenship application submission.
Turkish citizenship by Bank Account Deposit
Another secure option is depositing funds in a Turkish bank for the required period. We guide clients through bank account opening, compliance documentation, and CBI application approval. For investors preferring liquid assets, depositing $500,000 USD in a Turkish bank account for three years qualifies you for citizenship. We coordinate with major Turkish financial institutions to facilitate secure deposits and ensure compliance with Central Bank regulations. This pathway offers flexibility while your capital appreciates in Turkish lira or remains in foreign currency, depending on your financial strategy.
Turkish citizenship by BES Private Pension Investment
A newer, increasingly attractive path involves investing a specific sum into the Private Pension System (BES) in Türkiye, provided the funds are held for at least three years. The Private Pension System (BES) investment route requires a minimum $500,000 USD contribution to Turkish pension funds for three years. This option provides both citizenship benefits and long-term retirement planning advantages. Our financial law experts guide you through pension fund selection, ensuring your investment aligns with Turkish citizenship requirements while maximizing potential returns.
Our Turkish citizenship lawyers provide solution-generating expertise in the Turkish legal world.

Citizenship by Property Purchase
I was skeptical about investing $400,000 without physically being in Türkiye, but Legalixa Law Firm team eliminated all my concerns. They conducted thorough property inspections, sent detailed video walkthroughs, and managed the entire purchase remotely. Their Russian-speaking lawyer explained every document clearly. My residency permit arrived on time, and now I’m proceeding with Turkish citizenship. Exceptional professional service!
Citizenship by Bank Account Deposit
Legalixa Law Firm made our Turkish citizenship journey remarkably smooth. As an Arab family, having lawyers who spoke our language fluently was invaluable. They handled our property purchase in Istanbul and guided us through every citizenship requirement. We received our Turkish passports in just 5 months! Their attention to detail and constant communication gave us complete confidence throughout the process.
Citizenship by BES Private Pension Investment
The BES private pension citizenship route seemed complicated until I consulted Legalixa Law Firm. Their financial law experts explained the investment structure clearly in English and recommended pension funds matching my risk profile. They handled all paperwork with government agencies while keeping me informed at every stage. Six months later, my entire family has Turkish citizenship. Grateful for their expertise and patience.
