For Turkey’s property citizenship route, the published Invest in Türkiye guidance states a minimum USD 400,000 value or equivalent and a title-deed restriction on resale for at least three years. That restriction is part of the qualifying investment record. A passport approval does not turn the property into an unrestricted asset early.
How long is the holding period?
The required holding period is at least three years for the qualifying property. The official description connects it to a title-deed restriction on resale. Treat the period as a registry commitment, not simply a calendar note in a sales contract. Retain the restriction record with the eligibility evidence.
When does the three-year clock matter?
The operative point is the recorded restriction attached to the qualifying investment. The purchase date, valuation, payment trail and registry entry should be read together. Before calculating an exit date, obtain a current review of the title record and the individual application file.
Can the property be sold after citizenship approval?
Do not assume that approval ends the commitment. The public framework describes the qualifying investment and its resale restriction separately from the citizenship decision. A sale, transfer, restructuring or removal of a restriction before its term ends needs transaction-specific advice and registry confirmation.
Do other CBI routes use the same rule?
No route should be assumed identical. The same official page lists USD 500,000 routes such as fixed capital, deposits, bonds and fund shares with their own conditions. A bank deposit, for example, is described as not withdrawable for at least three years. Compare the exact route evidence before acting.
Which post-purchase records should be kept?
Keep the title deed, valuation, payment trail, relevant foreign-exchange evidence, restriction entry, eligibility certificate and application records together. citizenship-by-investment services can help organize the process, while competent authorities decide eligibility and consequences of a later transaction.
