• The End –

What are the issues that must be expedited before implementing the law to raise the value of the property in exchange for citizenship to $400,000?

• Firstly: if you have purchased a property in Turkey, and achieved the value required to obtain Turkish citizenship for $250,000, the following procedures must be expedited; such as, booking the property, and applying directly to the citizenship through the Population Department under the supervision of a Turkish lawyer.
• Secondly: if you have transferred the entire amount or part of it and have not yet obtained the title deed, you must immediately transfer the entire agreed price to buy your new property in Turkey.
