Frequently Asked Questions
Turkish Citizenship & Real Estate
To qualify for the Turkish Citizenship by Investment program, you must purchase real estate valued at a minimum of $400,000 USD. The property must be held for at least three years. VIP Estates Global guides you through the entire process, from property selection to passport acquisition.
Yes. When you invest the required $400,000 USD in Turkish real estate, your spouse and any dependent children under the age of 18 are also eligible to receive Turkish citizenship and passports alongside you.
No, there is no residency requirement. You do not need to live in Turkey before or after acquiring your citizenship, nor do you need to pass a language test. You simply need to hold your investment property for the mandatory three-year period.
A Turkish Residence Permit (Ikamet) allows foreigners to live in Turkey legally. It can be obtained by purchasing property (even below the $400,000 citizenship threshold) or through long-term rental agreements. Our immigration team handles all the paperwork, appointments, and legal requirements to secure your permit smoothly.
The process typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on document preparation and government processing speed. VIP Estates Global ensures a smooth and fast-track process.

- High rental yields (5–8%)
- Strong tourism demand
- Currency advantage for foreign investors

Dubai Real Estate & UAE Golden Visa

Yes, foreigners can buy freehold property in designated “freehold areas” in Dubai. These areas include popular locations such as Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, and Arabian Ranches. You will have full ownership rights to the property and the land it sits on.
Off-plan properties are typically sold at a lower price than ready properties and offer flexible, interest-free payment plans directly from the developer. They also offer excellent capital appreciation potential by the time the project is completed and handed over.
The minimum investment is AED 2 million in real estate.
