When you buy a property in Istanbul with a value of 400 thousand US dollars or more, you will be able to apply for Turkish citizenship, which is one of the most important and powerful nationalities in the world. Also, you must keep the property for at least 3 years, and during that period you cannot dispose of the property, you will have the opportunity to rent it to take advantage of huge and large returns throughout the year, especially in the tourist seasons, where the demand for real estate increases greatly, and therefore you will not find your property devoid of tenants.

 

Second: Many and important facilities:

The Turkish government did not hesitate to provide all the facilities and incentives that help foreigners choose Turkey in general and Istanbul in particular, unlike the situation in European countries, which impose many difficulties that make the investor retreat from the decision to buy on their land.

One of the most important advantages offered by Turkey to foreigners is the possibility of obtaining a real estate residence permit, which is considered one of the most important and best types of residence in Turkey at all, due to the ease of obtaining it on the one hand and the possibility of renewing it annually on the other hand.

What you do not know is that this residence permit allows you to move between the Turkish states very easily without having to obtain a travel permit, and also it can be granted to all family members, i.e. the wife and children who have not yet reached the age of eighteen.

It cannot be overlooked that one of the general and main advantages that the investor will find in front of him is (the ease of procedures for owning real estate in Turkey), as well as the transfer of ownership and other routine details.

But this is not considered a problem at all, as the transportation network and public transport have been greatly developed, which made it no less important in this aspect than the most important cities in the world and especially European ones.

Transportation lines were connected to all areas, and the areas were fed from the inside with buses and other types of transportation, and highways were built, which contributed to the ease of movement between places and regions with great ease without the need to spend a lot of time, fatigue and money.
