Application Methods
1. Buying Real Estate
-
The Government reduced the requirements for citizenship by real estate purchase from USD 1.000.000 to USD 400.000, which is equivalent to a %60 reduction.
-
Accordingly, the Government allows applications for citizenship by purchasing real estate worth at least USD 400.000. In this programme Real estate can be sold after 3 years of the ownership without any restrictions other than the ones applied to citizens.
-
It is crucial that a due-diligence is made for such property assuring that it falls within the standards of the citizenship programme. Therefore consulting to professionals before such investment is considered a must. Failure to do so may result in instant refusal of application by the Government.
2. Making Bank deposit

The Government reduced the requirements for citizenship by bank deposit from USD 2.000.000 to USD 500.000, which is equivalent to a %75 reduction. Accordingly, citizenship applications will be possible to those who hold USD 500.000.

Such deposits can be withdrawn or transferred after 3 years.
