Turkey citizenship total cost breakdown
Every line item — and which of it you actually get back.
The headline cost is the qualifying investment — from US$400,000 in real estate, which you can sell after three years. On top sit non-recoverable fees: government and application charges, the valuation, legal fees (often US$10–15K), translation and notary, and the advisory fee. Plan for several thousand US dollars in fees per family.
What does it all cost?
| Item | Indicative | Recoverable? |
|---|---|---|

| Valuation report | a few hundred | No |
| Legal fees | $10–15K | No |

What is the true, long-run cost?
Because the property is recoverable, the money you will not get back is mainly the fees — typically a small fraction of the headline. That is why a recoverable route can be better value than a cheaper, non-refundable donation programme.
