Citizenship by Investment
Seven routes to Turkish citizenship, from USD 400,000 in property. Verified against the Turkish regulation — including the three-year holding period and what acquiring Turkish citizenship does to an Indian passport.
About Turkeyنبذة
Türkiye grants citizenship by investment under Article 20 of the Turkish Citizenship Regulation, through seven routes: real estate from USD 400,000; USD 500,000 in fixed capital, a bank deposit, government debt instruments, real estate or venture capital fund shares, or a private pension; or the employment of 50 people. Property, deposit, debt instrument, fund and pension investments are held for three years. Your spouse and children under 18 or dependent are included; parents are not. No prior residency is required. Türkiye permits dual citizenship, but India does not: Indian citizenship ends automatically on acquisition.

The processكيف نعمل
Initial consultation: XIPHIAS assesses eligibility, explains the Indian citizenship consequence and helps you select the investment route.
Make the qualifying investment. For the property, deposit, debt instrument, fund and pension routes, the foreign currency is first sold to a Turkish bank and by that bank to the Central Bank of Türkiye.
Obtain the certificate of conformity (Uygunluk Belgesi) from the ministry or agency that certifies your route.
Apply for a short-term residence permit under Article 31/1(j) of Law No. 6458 at the provincial Migration Management directorate.
Submit the citizenship application. The file goes to the Ministry of Interior and the decision is taken by Presidential Decision.
Citizenship approval and passport issuance.
