Strategic Crossroads Between Europe and Asia
Turkey's Citizenship by Investment Programme offers a unique gateway to a transcontinental nation bridging Europe and Asia. With a population of over 85 million and the world's 17th largest economy, Turkish citizenship provides access to a dynamic market, an E-2 treaty relationship with the United States, and a strategic geographic position. The real estate investment route is particularly attractive, as Turkey's property market offers strong capital appreciation potential.
