Turkey, a romantic country spanning both Europe and Asia, is one of the most promising countries in Eurasia as a candidate for the European Union. In recent years, Turkey's economy has developed rapidly, its investment environment has continuously improved, and it has become increasingly favored by foreign investors! With the implementation of the new, heavyweight favorable policies for the Turkish investment citizenship program, Turkey is ushering in a new wave of capital!


So, what attracts so many high-net-worth individuals to choose Turkey? And what benefits can a Turkish passport bring them? WorldWay experts state that as a golden key to many major countries around the world, a Turkish passport not only allows for the rapid processing of an E-2 visa for free travel to the United States, but in fact, Turkish passport holders can also settle and start businesses in the UK, and even apply for permanent residency in the UK! Below, WorldWay will interpret the new ways to use a Turkish passport for fast-track access to the UK!


Legal Basis for Applying for UK Permanent Residency with a Turkish Passport

There is a historical origin and legal basis for the convenience of applying for UK status with Turkish nationality. According to the 1963 Ankara Agreement between Turkey and the European Economic Community, Turkish citizens can legally apply for Turkish businessperson visas and Turkish worker visas.


In 1973, the UK became a signatory to the European Community Association Agreement (ECAA). According to the commitments of the ECAA, the UK provides customized residency categories for Turkish nationals. On July 6, 2018, the UK amended its immigration laws, stipulating that Turkish nationals can work or do business in the UK, and after residing in the UK for 5 years and meeting certain conditions, the main applicant and their entire family can apply for UK permanent residency. In other words, ECAA businesspeople and ECAA workers and their families can apply for UK permanent residency.


Advantages of Applying for UK Permanent Residency with a Turkish Passport

Currently, using Turkish status to apply for UK permanent residency has many unique advantages and is highly popular among many immigrant investors!


When a main applicant holding a Turkish passport applies for a UK business or work visa for the first time, they can bring children under the age of 21. Compared to the terms of all other UK immigration categories, this is an absolute advantage. For example, if a main applicant has a 20-year-old child currently studying in the UK, under all current global immigration categories, this child might not necessarily be able to apply for a UK visa with their parents, but it is possible with a Turkish passport.


At the same time, the application conditions for Turkish businessperson visas and Turkish worker visas are simple, with no requirements for education, language, or age. WorldWay experts state that a Turkish passport is particularly suitable for applicants who truly intend to do business in the UK, and for families whose children are studying in the UK. Children can attend local public schools in the UK for free, enjoy rich educational resources that are aligned with those of European and American countries, and the process for applying to prestigious foreign universities is also simpler.



It is worth mentioning that children can also legally work in the UK as dependents of the applicant, and subsequently apply for a Turkish worker visa themselves, thereby achieving a "curve-saving" approach to working in the UK. In short, a Turkish passport is a stepping stone to obtaining British citizenship, a highly cost-effective immigration shortcut, and a rare immigration opportunity.


Number of Turkish Passport Applicants Soars, Invest Early

According to data published in the official gazette of the Turkish government, since the implementation of the new Turkish investment citizenship policy in September last year, as of June 30, 2019, more than 1,000 main applicants have obtained Turkish citizenship through investment, and another 1,700 applicants are in the queue waiting! These include applicants from the United States, Canada, China, Russia, Italy, Australia, and other countries! In addition to Turkey's neighbors, the number of investors from countries such as the UK and Greece—which are expected to become the largest sources of applicants for the Turkish investment citizenship program—is also increasing day by day, which is sufficient to demonstrate the huge appeal of Turkish citizenship to global immigrant investors.


All the above signs indicate that Turkey is a land of opportunity for value investment in Europe! Under the new act, the Turkish passport program is the one with the largest target immigration country and the lowest investment amount among all real estate investment immigration programs. While positioning in the European market at a lower point, one can also obtain the appreciation gains of high-value real estate, which can be said to take full advantage of investment opportunities!


WorldWay experts state that currently, by purchasing real estate in Turkey for at least $250,000 (which can be sold after 3 years), one can quickly obtain a Turkish passport from a major European country, enjoying multiple benefits such as real estate investment + UK permanent residency + rapid travel to the US, an opportunity that is hard to come by! At the same time, with both onshore and offshore RMB breaking through 7 against the US dollar, Turkish real estate is a rare US dollar asset, helping investors better achieve a favorable layout for global asset allocation!



Currently, another heavyweight masterpiece from the strong alliance between WorldWay Group and a powerful Turkish developer—the Edim Mansion project—is located in the core business area radiated by the new Istanbul International Airport and is a relatively better investment choice in the current market!
