1. Living in Turkey is a very romantic experience
Turkey is located in the eastern Mediterranean and is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The climate is very pleasant and diverse. In Turkey, you might be sunbathing on the beach in the morning and skiing in the mountains in the afternoon; both can be done on the same day. If you live in Turkey, you will experience a very diverse culture and many new ways of thinking. At the same time, Turkey has a very rich and long history; it was once the cradle of many civilizations and a bridge and melting pot for many others. It can be said that living in Turkey is a very enjoyable and romantic experience!
2. Turkey adopts modern, open European-style legal governance
Most Turkish citizens are Muslim, but our country is not governed by Islamic law; instead, it has adopted modern, open European-style legal governance. Perhaps you have heard of the Turkish people—what are we famous for? It is our cultural inclusiveness, openness, and hospitality!
3. Turkey is committed to a peaceful foreign policy
One of the most precious legacies on our land is our tolerance for culture! Take the Ottoman Empire as an example; in fact, the Ottoman Empire once ruled three continents, but it never colonized any country! Since the founding of the Republic of Turkey, the foreign policy we have consistently followed is the policy established by our 'Founding Father' Atatürk—peace at home, peace in the world!
4. Foreigners can freely invest in the Turkish real estate market
Currently, the Turkish real estate market is developing rapidly, and it is one of the most investment-worthy markets in the world. New immigrants to Turkey come from Europe and many Gulf countries, including the UK, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and so on. Thanks to legal and regulatory reforms in the Turkish real estate market, foreigners can now freely purchase property and invest in the real estate market in Turkey.
5. The Turkish economy is one of the most dynamic in the world
First of all, our economic development trend is strengthening. Now I want to emphasize one point: in terms of purchasing power parity, Turkey's economy ranks 12th in the world! Over the past 22 years, the Turkish economy has developed rapidly. Through stable political and economic development, Turkey's financial market is also growing rapidly. You may have heard that the EU has a requirement for its monetary member states, which is that their debt-to-GDP ratio must be below 60%, and Turkey has met this standard since 2004.
6. Turkey is located in the heart of Eurasia and is an important business corridor and hub
Now I want to emphasize that Turkey is at the center of the Eurasian continent. It has a customs union agreement with the EU and free trade agreements with many countries and regions. Turkey has a total of 13 free trade agreements with regions such as Africa, the Middle East, and the Balkans. This means that if our Chinese investors establish enterprises in Turkey, they can use Turkey's free trade agreements as a base to ship products to all parts of the world. This market has a total economic volume of over 24 billion US dollars! Many well-known international institutions and companies use Turkey's advantages as their production base and are able to access a vast market.
7. Turkey has a competitive demographic dividend
The reason why the Turkish economy is full of vitality is that our population is very young, so our labor force is also very competitive. In Turkey's population structure, the median age is 31, which is very young. Turkey's advantageous geographical location, as well as its production and labor advantages, enable it to quickly export products to other markets and operate quickly with low costs and high efficiency.
8. Foreign investment in Turkey
In terms of foreign direct investment in Turkey, investment from Europe accounts for 74%. In Turkey, there are more than 60,000 companies with foreign investment, and this number is constantly growing. Turkey provides excellent opportunities for Chinese investors. Many large Chinese companies, including Huawei, Bank of China, and CITIC, have established branches and developed their businesses after building factories in Turkey.
9. Turkey's highly attractive investment environment
Turkey has always been committed to attracting international capital, and the legal protections and services provided here are in line with international standards. Since 1995, Turkey and China have signed a bilateral agreement to avoid double taxation, and Turkey also provides many investment incentive policies for investors. The policies to attract investment mainly include regional investment incentives, large-scale investment incentives, and comprehensive investment incentives. The preferential policies include VAT exemptions, customs duty exemptions, comprehensive tax reductions, etc. In addition, if investors hire local employees in Turkey, the government also provides support for social security payments. It also includes interest support for investor loans, land allocation, VAT refunds, and so on.
Turkey is currently the only major geographical, demographic, and economic power from the Eurasian continent among countries with open and fast-track citizenship programs, and it is also the only G20 country that has opened a low-cost, fast-track passport program! For those who want to participate in the Turkish investment market, they only need to invest no less than 250,000 US dollars in real estate to quickly obtain a Turkish passport for the whole family. The purchased property can be sold after three years. You can gain both considerable investment returns and a G20 country passport. At the same time, for investors with such needs, depositing the equivalent of 500,000 US dollars in a bank operating in Turkey for 3 years can also quickly obtain a passport from Turkey, an EU candidate country. Its investment value is self-evident!
Unique advantages of the Turkish passport program
1. Obtain a passport in one step, with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 111 countries and regions worldwide
2. High cost-effectiveness; it is currently one of the lowest-priced citizenship programs on the market
3. Fast approval, with no immigration supervision and no residency requirements
4. Eligible to apply for US E1 and E2 visas, enabling quick travel to the United States
5. Customs union with the EU, and bilateral trade agreements signed with many surrounding countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa, which is greatly beneficial for doing business
6. Turkey is an EU candidate country, with a clear goal of joining the EU within the next 5 years
7. Real estate prices are at a low point, making it a good time to invest, and the investment cycle is short, with properties eligible for sale after 3 years
8. It is the only major geographical, demographic, and economic power from the Eurasian continent among currently open fast-track citizenship programs, and the only G20 country with a low-cost, fast-track passport program
WorldWay Group, in collaboration with the Turkish Embassy in China, the Consulate General in Shanghai, and the Consulate General in Guangzhou, held the launch ceremony for the Turkish Citizenship by Investment Program in five cities across China. It has attracted much attention, and a wave of capital investment in Turkey is bound to sweep across China! Good projects do not wait. Now is the perfect time to invest in Turkey.
