Step by step

The process & timeline

From consultation to passport — and a realistic 2026 timeframe.

In short

Turkish citizenship by investment follows a clear sequence: consultation, property selection and due diligence, official valuation, fund transfer and title registration, residence permit, citizenship application, and passport issuance. Approval commonly takes around three to six months after the investment and application are complete.

Sequence

What are the steps, in order?

Consultation & planningConfirm goals, budget, family members, and route.

Property selection & due diligenceShortlist eligible property; verify title and developer.

Official valuationA government-approved appraisal confirms the value meets US$400,000.

Fund transfer & title registrationPay by official bank transfer; register the TAPU with the 3-year annotation.

Residence permitA short-term permit is issued to support the application.

Citizenship applicationFile the application with the full supporting document set.

Passport issuanceYou and your family receive Turkish passports.

Timing

How long does each stage take?

Property selection and transfer can be completed in a few weeks with good preparation. Citizenship approval itself commonly takes around three to six months. Realistically, families should plan for a multi-month end-to-end journey and avoid agents who promise unrealistically fast outcomes.

Remotely

Can it be done remotely from Bangladesh?

Largely, yes. With a properly authorised power of attorney and the right legal partner, much of the process can be handled without repeated travel. We coordinate the steps that require your input and keep travel to a minimum.
