Turkey, a romantic country spanning Europe and Asia, is a highly coveted investment destination and a shining star in the European immigration sector in 2019! For the vast majority of immigrant investors, the Turkey property investment immigration program, starting from just USD 250,000, can be considered the most cost-effective entry ticket to Europe currently available! Beyond the low investment threshold, short investment cycle, and the appeal of being a passport from an EU candidate country, the Turkey passport is also highly favored by many investors for its powerful travel convenience and its advantage as a gateway to the United States and the European Union!


WorldWay has received significant positive news: the latest report from the European Commission indicates that Turkey is in the process of being included in the visa-free list for the Schengen Area and the European Union! Recently, the current President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, publicly stated that the EU has agreed to accelerate the promotion of visa-free travel with Turkey, signaling that visa-free entry for Turkish citizens to the EU is within reach!


The Travel Convenience of a Turkey Passport

According to the latest report from the authoritative Henley Passport Index, as of June 2019, holders of a Turkey passport can enter more than 100 countries and regions without applying for a visa in advance (including visa-free, visa-on-arrival, and e-visa), ranking high in terms of travel freedom. It is worth noting that a Turkey passport allows visa-free access to most developed Asian countries such as Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. Furthermore, holders can apply for U.S. E-1 and E-2 visas for rapid entry into the United States, providing investors interested in expanding their overseas markets with travel convenience and an excellent opportunity for rapid development in the region!


Approval Rate for U.S. E-2 Visa with a Turkey Passport: 93%

Data shows that the approval rate for U.S. E-2 visa applications by Turkey passport holders is as high as 93%. Currently, among countries that have signed investment and trade treaties with the United States, Turkey is one of the few that has launched an investment citizenship program and has signed a reciprocal commercial treaty with the U.S., thereby enjoying E-2 visa privileges. Therefore, by purchasing property worth USD 250,000, investors can obtain a passport from a major European country like Turkey while also being eligible to apply for a U.S. E-2 visa, realizing benefits such as rapid relocation to the United States.


Approval Rate for EU Visa with a Turkey Passport: 96%

Data shows that the approval rate for EU visa applications by Turkey passport holders is as high as 96%, reflecting the friendly stance of the EU toward Turkish citizens! Currently, Turkish citizens can easily obtain various short-term visit visas for the Schengen Area, making travel within Europe completely trouble-free. For the vast majority of investors, as the European Parliament has placed the matter of visa-free entry for Turkey on its agenda, visa-free access to Schengen countries for Turkey passport holders may soon become a reality.

On the other hand, as an EU candidate country, Turkey has set a clear goal to join the European Union within 5 years. Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Akdag recently expressed firm determination in an interview with the German newspaper Die Welt: Turkey will join the EU in no more than 5 years! In a sense, investing in the Turkey passport program is a long-term investment. Once Turkey joins the EU, the value of its passport will rise significantly!



Turkish Passport: Gateway to the United States and the European Union





WorldWay experts state that when it comes to investment immigration, it is a wise move to invest early before a potential project becomes a hit! History has proven that any new immigration project is almost always in a value trough when it first launches, and the Turkey USD 250,000 property investment immigration program is no exception. Therefore, before international buyers enter the market in large numbers, the key is to seize the opportunity; now is the best time to enter the market!



Turkey is currently the only major geographical, demographic, and economic power from the Eurasian continent among countries offering rapid citizenship programs, and it is the only G20 country that has opened a low-cost, rapid passport program through investment! For those who want to participate in the Turkish investment market, they only need to invest no less than USD 250,000 in real estate to quickly obtain a Turkey passport for the whole family. The purchased property can be sold after three years, offering both considerable investment returns and a passport as a citizen of the G20 nation of Turkey—two benefits in one! At the same time, for investors with such needs, depositing the equivalent of USD 500,000 in a bank operating in Turkey for 3 years can also lead to a quick acquisition of a passport from the EU candidate country of Turkey, with its investment value being self-evident!


Currently, another blockbuster project from the strong partnership between WorldWay and a powerful Turkish developer—the Edim Mansion project—is located in the business core area radiated by the new Istanbul International Airport and is currently the best investment choice on the market!
