    The most popular choice among foreigners is getting a citizenship via investment. You have 6 methods of investment to choose from:

    1.Purchase of real estate worth $250,000. This is the easiest and most popular investment option when applying. You can buy any property: apartment, house, commercial /industrial premises and land.
    2. A deposit in a bank of $500,000 or more.
    3.Purchase of national securities from $500,000: government bonds and bills, as well as shares of investment funds specializing in real estate or venture capital investments.
    4.Purchase of government bonds in the amount of $500,000 with an obligation to preserve assets for three years.
    5.Purchase of shares of investment funds for $500,000, specializing in real estate or venture capital investments, with an obligation to preserve assets for three years.
    6.Open a business with a capital of $500,000 or create at least 50 jobs.

    Of course, if the investment option seems a bit too expensive, there are other ways to get the citizenship as well:

    1.Through marriage – after three years of marriage.
    2.By birth – suitable for those who have at least one parent who is a Turkish citizen.
    3.Through employment – after five years of work under a contract.
    4.Through naturalization – after five years of living in Turkey.
    5.For special merit (Turquoise Card) – for outstanding achievements in science, business, culture or sports.
