However, taking a broader view beyond "citizenship" itself reveals what makes Turkey truly unique: its dual role as a major investment hub connecting European, Asian, and Middle Eastern markets. In 2025, Turkey attracted approximately USD 13.1 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), a year-on-year increase of 12.2%; to date, more than 87,000 foreign-capital enterprises are operating in Turkey.
How to Choose a Family's Second Passport? Turkey Offers Both Offense and Defense
Starting from January 2 this year, Turkey officially implemented visa-free travel and transit for Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports, allowing a cumulative stay of up to 90 days within 180 days.

With 28 Years in the Immigration Industry, What Drives WorldWay's Success?
The immigration industry has never been one lacking in change. Policies change, popular destinations change, and client needs are constantly evolving. From the early single-focused need for overseas residency status to today, where an increasing number of families simultaneously consider residency, education, asset allocation, global mobility, and post-arrival settlement arrangements, immigration services have long evolved beyond simply helping clients submit an application. Starting in Hong Kong, China in 1998, WorldWay Group has been continuously operating in the immigration field for 28 years. From early overseas immigration project services to now covering more than 20 countries and regions; from residency applications to further extending services to education, settlement, and living abroad, WorldWay's growth trajectory reflects, to some degree, the changes in Chinese families' overseas residency needs over the past twenty-plus years.
