Property for Foreigners

Guide to Buying Property in Turkey for Foreigners

Turkey offers attractive property opportunities for foreign investors. Regions such as Alanya, Antalya, Istanbul and Gazipaşa attract great interest both in terms of living and investment. Foreigners can buy residential, land or commercial property in Turkey and can gain the right to apply for Turkish citizenship when they meet certain conditions.

Official procedures are carried out through the Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre during the real estate purchase process of foreigners. It is important to check factors such as the zoning status of the immovable property, title deed registration, mortgage or lien status before the purchase. In addition, an expertise report is mandatory for foreign buyers. Foreigners who purchase a property worth at least USD 400,000 in Turkey can obtain a Turkish passport through an accelerated citizenship process. Getting expert consultancy while investing in real estate ensures that the process proceeds safely and smoothly.
