Yes. In most cases you can include your spouse and dependent children under 18 years of age in a single citizenship application based on your qualifying investment. Adult children or other family members may require a separate assessment depending on their age, marital status and dependency situation. During the initial consultation, we clarify exactly which family members can be included under your main file and how their documentation should be prepared.

There is generally no obligation to live in Türkiye before or after obtaining citizenship through investment, and the program does not usually require a language test or interview for the main applicant. However, you may wish to spend time in the country for practical reasons such as viewing properties, opening bank accounts or exploring lifestyle options. We explain all current residence, language and physical presence expectations in detail at the start of the process so there are no surprises later.

While exact timelines can vary depending on the investment type and administrative workload, most well prepared applications follow a relatively predictable schedule. The initial preparations, investment execution and residence permit stage typically take a few months, followed by several months of citizenship processing and security checks. In many cases, investors and their families can obtain Turkish ID cards and passports in approximately four to six months from the time their investment is completed, provided that all documentation is in order.

For most routes, such as real estate or financial instruments, you must maintain the qualifying investment for a minimum of three years. After this holding period expires, you are generally free to sell the property, withdraw or restructure your funds in line with market conditions and your personal strategy. Your Turkish citizenship, once granted in accordance with the law, is not automatically revoked if you dispose of the investment after fulfilling the mandatory holding period. We discuss exit scenarios, risks and practical considerations with you as part of your overall planning.
