Turkey Golden Visa 2026: New Regulations and Changes

Changes in the Golden Visa Program for 2026

Turkeys citizenship by investment program has undergone significant changes in 2026. While the minimum $400,000 USD real estate investment threshold remains, digitalization steps have been taken in the application processes. In this guide, we cover all current regulations as of 2026 in detail.

Updates made through presidential decree aim to both accelerate the application process and increase transparency for investors. Significant improvements have been made particularly in valuation reports, title deed registration, and application tracking systems.

Minimum Investment Amount and Payment Conditions

As of 2026, the minimum real estate investment amount continues at $400,000 USD. However, with the new regulation:

• Single property requirement removed: You can now exceed the $400,000 threshold with multiple properties
• Payment proof: SWIFT documents for bank transfers are now mandatory
• Valuation report: Reports from at least 2 different CMB-licensed valuation firms required
• 3-year no-sale commitment: A 3-year sale restriction annotation continues on the title deed

Digital Innovations in Application Process

The General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs launched the e-Citizenship portal in 2026, enabling real-time application tracking, SMS notifications for missing documents, and online appointment scheduling.

Valuation Process Updates

The most significant change is the dual valuation requirement. Applicants must obtain reports from two different CMB-licensed valuation companies. If the difference exceeds 15%, a third valuation is required.
