Turkish residence permits and citizenship – benefits for natural and legal persons
Who benefits from investing in Turkish real estate? The current stats indicate that the number of real estate investors in elite properties in Turkey from the neighborhood countries has grown by 80% within the last year. Real estate buyers constantly flock to Turkey, attracted by its mild climate, superb infrastructure, and favorable housing prices.
Legal persons are also interested in Turkey for a reason:
- A real estate investor purchasing an apartment, a villa, a cottage, or any other residences in the tourist city of Antalya may be naturalized in Turkey within a month and a half and become a property owner with an opportunity to sell the properties to their benefit later on.
- The citizenship by investment program provides for an opportunity to become a citizen of Turkey for both the investor and their family members. You may also strengthen and expand business links or enter the global market as a legal person by incorporating a limited liability company in Antalya, Istanbul, or a free economic zone in Turkey.
- Citizens of Russia, Estonia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, and the nationals of any other border areas benefit the most from purchasing real estate in Turkey in terms of business taxation and financial expenses for holiday properties and real estate necessary to get your residence permit. Antalya real estate attracts real estate investors due to its favorable geographic location and reasonable prices.
- Owning residences on the Mediterranean coast is an opportunity to move to a different climatic region on doctor’s orders. Here you may enjoy a personal SPA center, fitness studio, hammam, and a swimming pool.
We can’t but mention the climatic and geographic benefits of the jurisdiction. Turkey is noted throughout the world for its never-ending mellow season, abundance of fruit, 3 sea coasts, including the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, and the Marmara Sea coast, fresh mountain air, and breathtaking landscapes.

FYI: real estate developers often use expensive materials, including marble, granite, and porcelain for both residential and tourist real estate in Antalya, Istanbul, and other big cities of Turkey. The architects are not trying to be snobbish or flashy, but rather confirm these materials are freely available in the area (including Antalya).
NB: real estate owners in Turkey happen to underestimate the costs and refuse to mention real prices in case of a property resale. This is due to the obligatory profit tax rate of 20%.
