How to get a residence permit in Turkey through property investment

2. Before you apply

A residence permit application can only be made after the title deed (Tapu) is officially registered. The property must also be located in an area open to foreign residence.

As of 2023, the following rules apply:

• - The property’s declared title deed value must be at least USD 200,000 (in Turkish Lira equivalent) at the time of purchase.
• - This rule applies to both residential and commercial properties.
