TimelineOfficial decisions
What has changed in the programme
- 28 September 2026
The Turkish land registry changed the valuation rules for citizenship: a report can now be prepared by any SPK-licensed valuation firm, not only GEDAŞ, the amount confirmation document (TTB) is valid for 12 months instead of 6, and purchases from GYO real estate funds require a valuation report. The $400,000 threshold is unchanged.
- 15 July 2025
The European Commission introduced the visa cascade for Turkish citizens: after two visas properly used within three years, a one-year multi-entry Schengen visa is issued, then a three-year and a five-year one. Visa-free travel was not introduced.
- 1 February 2024
The Turkish Land Registry updated its guidance on citizenship-related transactions: an appraisal report is valid for three months, a second-hand property must not have passed from a foreign owner to a Turkish one in the last three years, and any given property can be used for citizenship only once.
- 13 June 2022
The real estate threshold rose from $250,000 to $400,000. The thresholds for the other routes stayed at $500,000 and have not changed since.
