According to Article 20 of the Amendment to Article 2 of the Turkish Citizenship Act (2017.12.1), Turkey passed the Turkish Citizenship by Investment Program Act in 2017, granting Turkish residency, citizenship and passports to foreigners who have made significant investment contributions in Turkey. The new legal provisions mean that foreigners who purchase real estate worth at least US$1 million in Turkey can obtain Turkish citizenship. Other related decrees also state that foreigners who invest at least US$2 million can obtain Turkish citizenship, or foreigners who have a deposit of US$3 million in a Turkish bank account for at least 3 years, or who have created at least 100 jobs can also obtain Turkish citizenship. On September 18, 2018, the Turkish government issued a communiqué, announcing the lowering of the threshold for Turkey's investment citizenship program. The amount of real estate investment for purchasing a house was reduced from US$1 million to US$250,000, a direct reduction of 75%; the deposit amount was reduced from US$3 million to US$500,000, a direct reduction of 83%. It only takes as little as 5 months to obtain Turkish citizenship.
