For immigrant investors, there may be a shared sentiment: since 2019, the name Turkey has frequently appeared across various information channels. All signs seem to indicate that Turkey is the next land of opportunity for European investment! Experts at Worldway Group state that as a major geographical, demographic, and economic power from Eurasia among countries currently offering citizenship-by-investment programs, and as a G20 nation offering a low-cost investment passport program, there are reasons why its passport program is increasingly sought after by investors!
1. A Cost-Effective Entry Ticket for European Property Investment Immigration
On September 18, 2018, the Turkish Parliament amended the Turkish Citizenship Law, allowing foreign nationals to obtain Turkish citizenship and a passport by purchasing real estate in Turkey worth at least $250,000. Previously, obtaining Turkish citizenship required purchasing property worth over $1 million. Following the policy adjustment, the Turkish passport program has become one of the most cost-effective citizenship-by-investment programs on the market, possessing strong market competitiveness and significantly enhancing the appeal of the Turkish Citizenship-by-Investment Program. According to statistics from Knight Frank, the volume of property transactions by overseas buyers in Turkey rose by 150% from September to December following the lowering of the threshold!
2. Rapid Access to a Financial Free Port
Turkey boasts a unique geographical advantage and is a renowned financial free port. According to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT), foreign direct investment in Turkey grew to $13.2 billion in 2018, an increase of 14% over the previous year. According to the World Bank's 2018 Doing Business Report, it takes about 6.5 days to start a business in Turkey. Meanwhile, the World Bank recently released the Doing Business 2019 report, which ranked Turkey among the top ten improvers globally after the country implemented record-breaking business reforms last year, raising its ranking by 17 places. Undoubtedly, Turkish passport holders can quickly enter this fast-growing emerging market and enjoy a convenient and free business environment.
3. A Golden Key to Major Powers—Studying in the U.S. and the U.K.
For business professionals, a Turkish passport is a golden key to major powers, offering numerous benefits. Currently, among countries that have signed investment and trade treaties with the United States, Turkey is one that offers a citizenship-by-investment program and has signed a reciprocal commercial treaty with the U.S., granting E-2 visa privileges. Turkish passport holders can use the E-2 visa to quickly enter the United States. At the same time, the U.K.'s newly revised immigration law stipulates that Turkish nationals can work or do business in the U.K., and after residing in the U.K. for 5 years and meeting certain conditions, the main applicant and their family can apply for permanent residency in the U.K. In other words, Turkish passport holders can enjoy the convenience of applying for U.K. business and work visas, achieve rapid entry into the U.K., and, upon meeting relevant conditions, apply for U.K. permanent residency!
4. Currently in the Process of Visa-Free Access to the Schengen Area and the EU
The Turkish passport is one of the most valuable passports in the Eurasian region, currently allowing entry into 111 countries and regions via visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or e-visa access. Turkey has been actively strengthening its ties with the European Union. A European Commission report indicates that Turkey is in the process of being included in the visa-free list for the Schengen Area and the EU. The current President of the European Commission recently stated publicly that the EU has agreed to accelerate the promotion of visa-free travel with Turkey! Worldway Group has learned that the EU has confirmed that Turkey has met 65 of the 72 conditions required for joining the Schengen Area. This suggests that it may soon become a reality for Turkish citizens to be granted visa-free access to Schengen countries.
5. Government Incentive Policies for Property Investors
The implementation of a series of favorable policies by the Turkish government and stimulus measures for property investors have further fueled the boom in the Turkish real estate market. Examples include lower property purchase taxes, VAT exemptions, the optimization of digital land registration and cadastral management systems, and the reduction of title deed transfer fees paid by investors. This series of major changes has actively promoted the trend of international investors investing in Turkey and further enhanced the appeal of property-based immigration to Turkey.
6. The Attractiveness of Property Prices in Prime Locations
Currently, investors can obtain a passport from a major European power by paying the $250,000 property investment amount required by the citizenship-by-investment program. Crucially, prices in some prime locations are also very friendly! For example, in high-rise buildings in Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, one can become an international landlord with a starting price of $250,000 for residences that have passed green building ratings, and the investment also grants citizenship, which is very attractive! At the same time, the Turkish government has been committed to ensuring transparency in the real estate market with strict regulations. All traded properties require a valuation approved by the Capital Markets Board of Turkey, which to a certain extent protects the interests of international buyers and enhances the appeal of the Turkish Citizenship-by-Investment Program!
7. An Entry Point to a Market Covering 1.6 Billion People
Turkey is located at the center of three continents—Asia, Europe, and Africa—and is an economic hinterland connecting 1.6 billion people and a GDP of $24 trillion. It is also an important hub connecting Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. In recent years, Turkey's economy has developed rapidly, and a large number of multinational companies have established their Eurasian headquarters in Turkey, making it a rapidly growing and popular destination for investment immigration. Relying on Turkey's unique geographical advantages, Turkish passport holders can quickly expand into surrounding markets in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and rapidly enter these regions for high-quality business development!
Currently, another blockbuster project resulting from the strong partnership between Worldway Group and a powerful Turkish developer—Tianxi International Turkey, located in the European side of Istanbul, Turkey, is the best investment choice on the market today!
