During the past five years, citizens of countries experiencing political and security turmoil top the list of foreigners with the highest purchase of real estate in Turkey, and promotional campaigns for real estate companies contributed to encouraging foreigners to purchase housing in exchange for Turkish citizenship.
The decision to reduce the value of the real estate eligible for obtaining Turkish citizenship after the economic crisis that struck Turkey attracted investments in the real estate that stagnated.
Since September 2018, the value of the property owned in Turkey that allows its foreign owner to obtain Turkish citizenship has been reduced from only $ 1 million to $ 250,000, provided it is not sold three years ago. Ended / 25
