Turkish Citizenship by Fixed Capital Investment

Foreign investors who make a minimum 500,000 USD fixed capital investment—verified by the Ministry of Industry and Technology—may obtain Turkish citizenship under the exceptional route. Applications must be supported by corporate documents, YMM-certified reports, and a binding 3-year non-transfer commitment.

Minimum 500,000 USD investment must be converted into TL through a Turkish bank and injected as paid-in capital.
YMM-certified special purpose report verifying fixed capital components is mandatory.
3-year non-transfer commitment for shares, assets and investment instruments is required.
Ministry verification (Certificate of Eligibility) is essential before residence and citizenship applications.

Minimum Investment Requirement

Foreign investors must contribute at least 500,000 USD (or equivalent foreign currency) to a Turkish company as paid-in capital and prove the conversion to TL via bank receipts.

Eligible Investment Components

Only long-term fixed assets such as machinery, equipment, land and service buildings count. Vehicles, non-operational real estate, and inventory are excluded.

Required Corporate Documentation

Applications require trade registry gazettes, updated shareholding structure, company articles with non-transfer clauses, YMM activity certificates, and fixed capital tables.

3-Year Commitment Requirements

The investor must undertake not to transfer shares, reduce capital, or dispose of fixed investment assets for three years. This must also be reflected in the articles of association.

Ministry Assessment & Verification

The Ministry may conduct on-site inspections, request additional documents, and evaluate fixed capital via certified financial analysis before issuing the Certificate of Eligibility.

Transition to Citizenship Application

Once the eligibility certificate is issued, the investor can proceed with residence permit and citizenship applications along with their spouse and dependent children.
