Questions worth asking.
Is citizenship automatic after investing?
No. A qualifying investment is one part of the process. Citizenship remains subject to legal conditions, government review and the competent authority’s decision.
Can I include my family?
Family circumstances should be assessed at the outset. Share the ages of children, marital status and any custody arrangements so the team can review which family members can apply and which documents are required.
Can I begin while outside Türkiye?
You can begin with a remote assessment and document planning. Plan at least one visit to Türkiye for the required residence and citizenship fingerprints and personal appointments. Other permitted work can generally be coordinated under a suitable power of attorney, subject to institutional attendance requirements.
What is the total cost and how long does it take?
The minimum investment is separate from professional fees, official charges, translations, taxes and other transaction costs. Request a written scope and cost breakdown. Authority processing and appointment availability vary; no fixed completion date is promised.
