Recently, the General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs of the Turkish Ministry of Interior published new data on the Turkish Citizenship by Investment Program on the official government website: Since the implementation of the new Turkish Citizenship by Investment policy in September 2018, and as of the first three quarters of 2019, a total of 9,962 foreigners have applied for Turkish citizenship through investment immigration, with 2,611 main applicants having been granted Turkish citizenship.


It is worth noting that, as previously reported by Worldway, a total of 981 main applicants had been granted Turkish citizenship as of June 30, 2019. In other words, this figure has nearly tripled in the past three months! The Turkish immigration program has exceeded market expectations, and foreign investors are accelerating their influx into Turkey.

According to new real estate sales statistics from the Turkish Statistical Institute, as of October 2019, the number of properties purchased by Chinese investors in Turkey has entered the top 20 for foreign investors! Investors from countries such as China, Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany have set their sights on Turkey, further fueling the boom in the Turkish real estate immigration market!


Turkey's real estate market faces excellent opportunities with broad development prospects

In fact, since 2012, house sales to foreigners in Turkey have shown an upward trend, thanks to legislation by the Turkish Parliament that has made it easier for foreign investors to purchase property in Turkey. Since the introduction of the legislative amendments, sales performance to foreign investors has been on the rise. According to new data released by the Turkish Statistical Institute (Turk Stat), foreigners purchased over 31,000 housing units in Turkey from January to September this year, surpassing previous market forecasts by relevant institutions and showing strong momentum!


Looking at the trend of Turkish housing prices from 2011 to 2019, they are currently at a 10-year low. From a market perspective, Turkish real estate prices in prime areas represent a great opportunity! Istanbul is replicating the investment opportunities seen in other major cities like Athens, Lisbon, and Barcelona after 2008, and may experience a significant surge in housing prices in the coming years!


Currently, with Turkey's stable economy, relatively mature investment environment, government interest rate cuts, and the significant rise of the US dollar against the Turkish Lira compared to historical lows, it is an excellent time for high-net-worth individuals seeking overseas asset allocation to enter the Turkish investment market, supported by the relaxed real estate immigration policy and monetary easing! Turkish real estate has promising development prospects, and the launch of the Turkish Citizenship by Investment Program provides global investors with an excellent opportunity for immigration investment and creating an overseas home!


As one of the Top 500 Asian Brands and an early promoter of European real estate immigration programs, the Worldway Group, with its forward-looking vision, has partnered with powerful Turkish developers to grandly introduce a number of high-quality Turkish real estate projects, such as European Garden, Sea View Court, Royal Sea Mansion, Edim Residence, and Istanbul Core Garden Apartments. These are currently the most popular projects on the market, with prices starting as low as $1,400 per square meter. These large, ready-to-move-in properties in the European district are suitable for both investment and self-occupation, catering to various needs!
