Eligibility Criteria and Requirements

To qualify for Turkish Investor Residency, applicants must meet several eligibility criteria and requirements designed to ensure that their investment aligns with the nation’s economic policies. Firstly, the primary requisite is making a qualifying investment, which typically involves acquiring real estate valued at a minimum of $400,000 or depositing at least $500,000 in a Turkish bank for three years. Additionally, the applicant must be of good moral standing, free from any criminal background, and capable of proving the legality of their investment funds. Moreover, thorough documentation is essential, including a valid passport, proof of investment, and other legal clearances, which our experts at Gordion Partners meticulously prepare and review to guarantee compliance with Turkish regulations, thereby smoothing the path to residency approval.

In addition to the financial and legal prerequisites, there are specific procedural steps that applicants must follow to secure Turkish Investor Residency. Initially, prospective investors should open a Turkish bank account where the investment funds will be deposited. This step often involves verifying the source of funds to comply with anti-money laundering regulations. Following the financial transactions, applicants need to acquire a tax number from the Turkish tax office, a necessary step for any financial activity within the country. Furthermore, obtaining a formal property valuation report from a certified appraiser is crucial if the investment involves real estate. At Gordion Partners, we facilitate each procedural phase, from banking arrangements to legal appointments, ensuring that all requirements are met accurately and promptly, thereby enhancing the chances of a successful application.

Finally, after completing the initial investment and procedural steps, applicants must submit their residency application to the Turkish Directorate General of Migration Management. This submission includes all relevant forms, documentation, and receipts that evidence compliance with the investment and legal criteria. The application is then reviewed, and any additional information or clarification requests must be promptly addressed to facilitate a swift decision. During this crucial phase, Gordion Partners offers unwavering support by liaising with Turkish authorities on your behalf and providing timely updates on your application’s status. Our experience ensures that any potential challenges are navigated efficiently, giving you peace of mind as you transition towards securing your Turkish Investor Residency.

Step-by-Step Application Process

The first step in applying for Turkish Investor Residency is to gather all necessary documentation, which includes a valid passport, proof of sufficient financial resources, and a police clearance certificate from your home country. Additionally, applicants must provide detailed information about their investment plans, such as purchasing real estate or investing in a Turkish business. These documents are essential for demonstrating your commitment and eligibility for the program. At Gordion Partners, we assist you in compiling and reviewing these materials to ensure they meet the stringent criteria set by Turkish authorities, thus laying a strong foundation for your application process.

Once you have gathered all the required documentation, the next step involves submitting your application to the relevant Turkish authorities. This stage typically requires filling out specific forms, paying any applicable fees, and scheduling an appointment with the local migration office for a face-to-face interview. At Gordion Partners, we facilitate this process by guiding you through each form, ensuring that all fields are accurately completed, and advising you on the fee payment procedures. Additionally, we provide support in arranging your interview, offering preparatory guidance to help you confidently address any questions that may arise. By seamlessly navigating these formalities, we help expedite your application, minimizing any potential delays or obstacles.

After your application has been submitted and your interview has been conducted, the final step is the review and approval process by the Turkish authorities. This period involves thorough scrutiny of your documents and investment plans to ensure compliance with the residency program’s standards. Typically, this stage can take several weeks to a few months. During this waiting period, Gordion Partners remains actively engaged, monitoring the status of your application and providing you with timely updates. Should any additional information or clarifications be required, we promptly address these requests to prevent any delays. Once approved, you will receive your residency permit, officially marking the beginning of your new journey in Turkey.
