melissared Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I bought my first apartment in Turkey back in 2017, and now I’m considering getting another one. But I’ve heard that a lot has changed in terms of property laws and residency rules for foreigners. Back then, the process was pretty straightforward — just paperwork, a notary, and you were good to go. Now it sounds like there are new regulations, especially related to getting citizenship through investment. Has anyone dealt with these recent changes firsthand?

tonybil Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Yeah, things have definitely evolved since then. I bought in 2023, and there were new requirements — mainly around the minimum investment amount and how payments are made. It’s more structured now, which is actually a good thing. I went through an agency that explained everything step by step. If you’re looking to understand the updates, Real estate investment in Turkey has a section that breaks down the current rules for foreigners, including citizenship thresholds and documentation.

rinata77 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 A friend of mine recently sold his apartment in Istanbul and said that property demand from foreign buyers hasn’t really slowed down despite all the new rules. He mentioned that the market has become more transparent, which helps avoid shady deals. It’s funny how these policy tweaks can actually make the process safer in the long run, even if they seem complicated at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
