Your Second Passport Starts Here
$400,000 in Istanbul real estate. No residency requirement. No language test. Citizenship for your whole family in 6–10 months.
$400K Minimum
One or multiple properties — total official appraisal must meet or exceed $400,000 USD. Threshold unchanged since June 2022.
6–10 Month Timeline
From property purchase to Turkish passport in hand. Hermava tracks every milestone and sends you updates throughout.
Full Family Included
One investment covers you, your spouse, and children under 18 — no extra investment required. One application, one family.
110+ Visa-Free Countries
Turkish passport unlocks Schengen, UK short stays, Southeast Asia, and 110+ countries — a major upgrade for Pakistani and Iranian passports.
No Residency Required
You do not need to live in Turkey to maintain or apply for citizenship. No minimum stay, no annual visit requirement.
3-Year Hold, Then Sell
Commit not to sell for 3 years. After that, you retain citizenship and can sell the property at market value.
The Step-by-Step Process
Hermava handles every step. You focus on making the right investment decision — we handle the paperwork.
We shortlist properties that meet the CBI requirements, verify title deed status, and confirm appraisal compliance before you commit a penny.
Purchase via bank transfer, register the tapu in your name, and register the 3-year no-sale commitment at the land registry. 2–4 weeks.
A licensed government-recognised appraisal firm confirms the $400K threshold. This is mandatory and distinct from the developer’s price. 3–4 weeks.
Apply for a short-term ikamet as a prerequisite for the citizenship file. 4–6 weeks.
File with the General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs. Government processing: 3–4 months. Passport issued upon approval.
We’ll review your passport, budget, and timeline — and tell you honestly whether Istanbul is the right move. No obligation, no pressure.
