Your eligibility result
Your path: citizenship + tax residency.
Based on your answers, you're a strong candidate for the full package: Turkish citizenship via $400K real estate investment, paired with the 20-year zero-tax regime that is now in force (Law 7582, Resmi Gazete issue 33270, June 4, 2026, retroactive to January 1, 2026). This is now the highest-leverage relocation path globally.

The unit economics
What CBI + 20-year regime is actually worth
| Annual foreign income | Current tax (avg 30%) | Turkey tax (0%) | 20-year savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| $500K | $150K/yr | $0 | $3,000,000 |
| $1M | $300K/yr | $0 | $6,000,000 |
| $2M | $600K/yr | $0 | $12,000,000 |
| $5M | $1.5M/yr | $0 | $30,000,000 |
Math assumes you maintain Turkish tax residency for the 20 years under the now-in-force regime (Law 7582). 30% average tax rate is conservative, most Western jurisdictions tax foreign-source income closer to 35–45%.
What's included in the package
Citizenship + tax residency + 1% inheritance + property
Turkish passport (visa-free to 110+ countries)
Issued 6–12 months after $400K real estate purchase + clean application. Spouse and dependent children included in single application.
0% tax on foreign income for 20 years
Now that the law is in force (Law 7582, Resmi Gazete issue 33270, June 4, 2026, retroactive to January 1, 2026), the exemption extends Article 23(14) to all foreign-source income (salary, capital gains, dividends, crypto, rental, royalties). 3-year non-residency lookback applies. The implementation tebliği (Seri No: 333, July 4, 2026) confirmed that permit type is irrelevant, citizenship-by-investment is one valid route among many, but you must apply for an İstisna Belgesi to claim the exemption.
1% flat inheritance & gift tax
Versus standard progressive 1–30%. Within the 20-year regime only, meaningful for family-office and generational wealth planning.
Real estate asset
The $400K isn't a fee, it's an asset you own. Turkish urban real estate has historically appreciated in TL terms (though USD performance is mixed due to FX). 3-year hold required. Resaleable thereafter, or rented for ongoing yield.
Wealth amnesty window (until July 31, 2027)
If you have previously undisclosed offshore assets, the same bill creates a wealth amnesty: declare to Turkish bank/brokerage, zero penalty. Strategic for repatriating wealth into Turkey alongside the move.
What could go wrong
Honest risks before you commit
We're not going to undersell this. Real risks worth knowing:
- The implementation communiqué is published. Gelir Vergisi Genel Tebliği (Seri No: 333), published July 4, 2026, requires qualifying Turkish tax residency and the three-year lookback. Apply to your tax office for an İstisna Belgesi by the end of the year you become resident, or by the end of February if you become resident in November or December. Official text, checked October 11, 2026.
- Property risk is real. $400K Turkish real estate has FX exposure (TL is volatile), liquidity constraints (3-year hold), and varies wildly by developer quality. Picking the wrong building costs you 30%+ on resale.
- 3-year non-residency lookback. If you've been a Turkish tax resident in the past 3 years, the 20-year regime might not apply. The CBI passport still works, but the tax half of the package doesn't.
- OECD / CRS / FATCA exposure. Turkish citizenship doesn't shield you from your home-country reporting obligations. US citizens specifically remain US-taxed on worldwide income regardless of Turkish residency.
Your next step
At this size, start with a conversation.
At $400K+ in transaction size, and with the 20-year tax holiday now in force (Law 7582, June 4, 2026), the right next step is a conversation, not another email funnel. Message me and your answers come with it: eligibility against the 3-year lookback, the math against your income, and what working with us looks like. No pitch. If we're not the right fit, I'll tell you and point you somewhere better.
