Option 1: Purchase Property
To obtain Turkish citizenship, the first option involves purchasing real estate valued at a minimum of US$400,000.

Stamp duty is 4%, typically shared equally between buyer and seller; however, in the resale market, the buyer usually covers the entire 4%. Moreover, there is a 4% real estate commission, split equally between buyer and seller. It's also important to note that there are no government contributions, due diligence fees, or significant administrative fees involved.
