Turkey: The Cradle of Civilization
Turkey is a country spanning the continents of Europe and Asia, known as the "Cradle of Civilization." It served as the center of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires, boasting a 6,500-year-old history and the cultural heritage of thirteen different successive civilizations. The phrase "A different Asia, a different Europe" refers to Turkey's location across two continents and its unique charm, which combines the remnants of multiple civilizations. It can be said that what deeply attracts people from all over the world to Turkey is the perfect fusion of various cultures, East and West, and modernity and tradition.

Turkey, the New Diamond Country
Turkey is another booming emerging economy following the "BRICS" countries (China, Russia, India, Brazil, and South Africa), enjoying the reputation of a "New Diamond Country" in the international community and having become a member of the G20, the "Economic Security Council." In 2018, Turkey's GDP was approximately 784 billion USD. Between 2011 and 2018, the average annual GDP growth rate reached 6.1%. Turkey's economic outlook is bright, and it has become a rapidly developing economy. (Data source: Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat))
Free Access to Different National Markets
Turkey has established a Customs Union with the European Union, allowing direct access to the EU market, and has signed free trade agreements with 27 countries and regions, with many more Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) currently under negotiation. At the same time, a Turkish passport offers visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 111 countries and regions worldwide, allowing for almost global travel.
Located in the Heart of Eurasia, an Important Business Corridor and Hub
Located in the heart of Eurasia, Turkey is a natural bridge on both the East-West and North-South axes, thus forming an efficient and economical export route to major Eurasian markets. By establishing corporate headquarters in Turkey, companies can leverage Turkey's unique geographical advantages to quickly connect with 1.7 billion customers across Europe, Eurasia, the Middle East, and North Africa, and enter a global market with a GDP of 27 trillion USD.
Competitive Demographic Dividend and Population Advantages
According to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat), in 2017, Turkey's registered population reached 80.8 million, with half of the population under the age of 31. Compared with other EU countries, it has the largest youth population, and most of them are well-educated young people. According to projections by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat), the population will reach 86.9 million by 2023 and exceed 100.3 million by 2040. The population is expected to maintain its growth momentum until 2069, reaching a peak of 107.6 million.

The 7th Most Popular Destination for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
According to the EY Attractiveness Survey Europe, Turkey became the 7th most popular destination for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Europe in 2017, jumping 3 places compared to 2016. According to data from the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey, as of 2002, the total FDI inflow into Turkey was only 15 billion USD, while during the 2003-2017 period, it attracted approximately 193 billion USD in FDI inflows.
Numerous International Famous Enterprises Invest in Turkey
According to data from the Turkish Ministry of Trade, the number of companies with international capital in Turkey was 5,600 in 2002, and by the end of 2017, this number had reached 58,400, and it continues to grow. Turkey provides excellent opportunities for international investors, attracting numerous international famous enterprises such as 3M, Coca-Cola, Hyundai, Bosch, Microsoft, Nestlé, and Unilever, as well as investments from many famous Chinese enterprises such as Huawei, Alibaba, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), CRRC, and Sinopec.
Low Taxes and Incentive Measures
Currently, Turkey's corporate income tax is relatively low. Tax incentives and measures enjoyed in technology development zones, industrial zones, and free zones include full or partial exemption from corporate income tax, subsidies for the employer's share of social security premiums, and land allocation. A new investment incentive system consisting of four different schemes came into effect on January 1, 2012, which greatly increased the enthusiasm of investors for investing in Turkey and attracted many investors to the country.
Low-Threshold Investment-Based Citizenship Program
In September 2018, the Turkish government announced a reduction in the threshold for the Turkish investment-based citizenship program, lowering the real estate purchase amount from 1 million USD to 250,000 USD (the property can be sold after 3 years); and reducing the deposit amount from 3 million USD to 500,000 USD (with a deposit period of no less than 3 years) to obtain Turkish citizenship.
As one of the earliest immigration agencies to promote the Turkish passport program in China, in April 2019, Worldway, in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in China, the Consulate General in Shanghai, and the Consulate General in Guangzhou, held the official launch event and China initiation ceremony for the Turkish investment-based citizenship program, officially introducing this program, which has attracted global investor attention and anticipation, to China. This pioneering event will go down in history! This time, responding to the call of Kosdromos, Worldway joined hands with officials from the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in China, including Ambassador Abdulkadir Emin Önen and Commercial Counselor Sezgin Taşkın, to participate in this important Turkey Immigration Month initiative, marking yet another Turkish immigration event in which we have participated! We believe that the implementation of this event will allow Chinese investors to better understand the real Turkey and promote the further development of the Turkish investment-based citizenship program in China!
