Turkish Citizenship by Property – buy directly from the owner, a regulated fund

The real estate funds managed by FT Portföy Asset Management own completed residences in Türkiye, and selected units are for sale. You buy straight from the fund: no middleman, no agent commission, a price backed by a CMB-licensed valuation report.

Why it matters who sells

We are not a real estate agency. We are the owner's asset manager.

Most citizenship property is sold through agents who earn on the deal. FT Portföy is a CMB-licensed asset management company, and the properties belong to the funds we manage. That changes the deal for you.

Buying through an agent

  • ✕ Agent commission added to your cost
  • ✕ Price set by the seller or the agent
  • ✕ Seller is often a private person or developer you cannot check
  • ✕ The agent's income depends on closing the sale

Buying from an FT Portföy fund

  • ✓ No agent commission – you buy directly from the fund
  • ✓ Value supported by a CMB-licensed valuation report
  • ✓ Seller is a CMB-supervised fund, audited and publicly disclosed
  • ✓ Title transfer with the fund's custodian present

Safer property route

Four protections you don't get from a private sale

1

Verifiable seller

The owner is a fund supervised by the Capital Markets Board of Türkiye. Its reports are public.

2

Licensed valuation

Fund properties are valued by CMB-licensed appraisers, so the price has an independent reference.

3

Custodian at the title office

The fund's custodian takes part in the sale, so the title transfer follows a controlled process.

4

Clean bank payment

Payment goes through the banking system, which is what the citizenship file requires.

"Wait – citizenship through a fund? What's that?"

The same citizenship, without owning a flat

Many of our property clients don't know there is a second route. Instead of buying one property, you invest USD 500,000 in units of a CMB-regulated real estate fund and hold them for 3 years. The fund owns and runs the buildings – you hold the units.

  • No property to manage – no tenants, repairs, furnishing or service charges
  • A portfolio, not a single flat – the fund holds many properties managed by professionals
  • Regulated and transparent – prices are published on TEFAS and checked by an independent custodian
  • Tax-efficient after 3 years – no tax return needed on the gain after the holding period

FAQ

Questions property buyers ask us

Do you charge a commission?

No. We are not an agent. The properties belong to funds we manage, so you buy directly from the fund and no agent commission is added. Standard legal costs such as title deed fees and your lawyer's fee still apply.

Why does a fund sell its properties?

Real estate funds buy, hold and sell properties as part of normal portfolio management. Selected completed units are offered for sale, and foreign buyers can use them for the citizenship route if the value is USD 400,000 or more.

Is the property eligible for Turkish citizenship?

Units valued at USD 400,000 or more, bought with a bank transfer and kept for 3 years, can be used for the application. We confirm eligibility for each unit before you buy.

Can I choose the fund route instead?

Yes. If you prefer not to own and manage a property, you can invest USD 500,000 in units of a regulated real estate fund for 3 years. See the property vs fund comparison page.

Do I need to come to Türkiye?

The purchase can be done by power of attorney. You and your spouse visit Türkiye once for biometrics during the process.
