Answers grouped by topic — the programme, funding from Bangladesh, cost and timeline, family and passport, and working with us. Can’t find yours? Just ask.
The programme
An official programme of the Republic of Türkiye (since 2017) that grants citizenship to foreign nationals who make a qualifying investment held for three years — most commonly US$400,000 in real estate.
US$400,000 in real estate, or US$500,000 for a bank deposit, government bonds, or a fixed-capital business — each held for three years.
Yes. Citizenship is granted by the Turkish state and governed by Turkish law, administered by the Presidency of Migration Management.
No. There is no residency requirement before or after obtaining citizenship by investment.
The asset must be held for three years, recorded as a no-sale annotation on the title deed. After three years you can sell while keeping citizenship.
Approval commonly takes around three to six months after the investment and application are complete; the full journey including property selection is longer.
For Bangladeshis & funding
Yes. There is no nationality bar; Bangladeshis qualify on the same terms as any other foreign investor, and Turkey permits dual citizenship.
Only through legitimate, documented channels structured within Bangladesh Bank and Turkish regulations — for example legitimately held offshore funds or foreign-source income. The right route is case-specific and handled confidentially.
No. We never facilitate informal or undocumented transfer (hundi/hawala) or any circumvention of Bangladesh Bank controls.
Yes — and the investment must be paid by official bank transfer, so a documented, compliant trail is essential.
Turkey permits dual citizenship, so you need not renounce Bangladeshi nationality. Confirm your position under Bangladeshi rules as part of planning.
Yes — we advise families across Dhaka (Gulshan, Banani, Dhanmondi, Baridhara) and Chittagong (Agrabad, Khulshi, Nasirabad), in English and Bangla.
Cost & timeline
US$400,000 (recoverable real estate) plus several thousand US dollars in non-recoverable fees — government, valuation, legal, translation and advisory — covering the whole family.
Roughly ৳4.8–4.9 crore for the investment on an indicative rate, plus fees. The exact taka figure depends on the live exchange rate and is confirmed at investment.
Government and application charges, the valuation report, legal fees (often US$10–15K), translation and notary, and the advisory fee. The property itself is recoverable after three years.
No. As of 2026 the minimum real-estate threshold is US$400,000.
The programme thresholds are set in USD; the taka equivalent moves with the exchange rate, so we confirm the current BDT figure rather than fixing it.
Family, passport & benefits
The main applicant, their spouse, and children under 18. Adult children usually need their own application.
Roughly 110+ via visa-free or visa-on-arrival access in 2026. The exact number changes, so verify it at application.
Yes — Turkey is a US E-2 treaty country, so Turkish citizens can apply for the E-2 investor visa, a route not open to Bangladeshi nationals directly.
Yes. Turkish citizenship is generally permanent once granted and passes to your children.
Working with us
Neither — we are an independent advisory. Citizenship is granted by the Republic of Türkiye; we coordinate property, legal, valuation, compliant funding and the application.
No. Decisions rest with the Turkish authorities. We maximise a well-prepared, compliant application but make no outcome guarantees.
