Consultation & Property Selection
Choose qualifying properties totalling ≥$400K. Our advisors shortlist citizenship-eligible projects matched to your budget and preferences.
Property Purchase & TAPU

SPK Valuation Report
Government-certified valuation from an SPK-licensed appraiser confirms the property value meets or exceeds the $400,000 minimum.
DAB Certificate
Foreign currency converted through a Turkish bank. Your bank issues a Döviz Alım Belgesi (DAB) confirming the exchange — mandatory for citizenship.
