Property / Real Estate Residence Permit
Residency tied to owning a Turkish home
Owning Turkish residential property can support a short-term residence permit. Since late 2023 the minimum property value for a property-based permit has been set at USD 200,000, verified by an SPK-licensed appraisal, and the property must be residential and used as your home. We manage valuation, title and the permit file end to end.
