Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. All transactions go through the Land Department — the state land department. Title transfers are officially recorded, and documents are checked by lawyers before registration. We only work with verified developers and properties.
- Foreigners can own condominiums (apartments) with full ownership rights (Freehold) within the 49% quota limit in the project. For purchases outside the quota, long-term leasehold (30 years with extension options) is used. This is a legal and common practice.
- Average rental yield is 6–9% per annum, in tourist areas (Phuket/Pattaya) — 10–12%. Property value appreciation is 20–30% over 3–4 years due to tourist flow and infrastructure development.
- Entry threshold:
- studios and small apartments — from $90–120k,
- liquid projects in Phuket — from $150–200k,
- villas — from $350–450k.
- Yes, more than half of transactions are done remotely. We conduct online viewings, provide reports, and organize registration via power of attorney. Original documents (Chanote/contracts) are delivered to the client after deal completion.
- Purchasing real estate does not grant automatic residency, but:
- many investors stay 3–4 months a year on a tourist visa,
- long-term visas (Elite Visa) for 5–20 years are available.
- We advise on all legal stay options.
- The most in-demand:
- condos near beaches,
- apartments in Pattaya tourist areas,
- villas in Phuket (especially Bang Tao, Kamala, Rawai).
- These provide high rental income and steady value growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Purchasing is fully controlled by the state. All transactions go through Tapu ve Kadastro—the state cadastre, where ownership is recorded in the registry. This eliminates the risk of double sales and fraud. Funds can be processed through escrow or a notary, and after registration, the buyer receives a Tapu—the official ownership document.
- Foreign citizens receive full ownership rights (Freehold) to the property. You can:
- — rent out the property
- — sell it
- — pass it on by inheritance
- — register it in family members' names
- Exception—some border areas (we check each property in advance).
- Average rental yield: 6-8% annually in USD in high-demand locations. Price appreciation: 15-25% over 3-4 years, especially in Istanbul, Alanya, and Antalya.
- Example: An apartment in Alanya for $260k in 2023 yields ~$16k in annual rent and is projected to grow to ~$300k by 2025. Total ROI over 2 years ≈30% (rent + appreciation).
- For investment projects, the entry threshold starts from $110-130k. For properties qualifying for citizenship—from $400k. Coastal options are available in a wider range, while prices in Istanbul are higher, but liquidity and appreciation are more stable.
- Yes. Investments starting from $400,000 qualify for accelerated Turkish citizenship for the investor and family members. The package includes:
- — property purchase
- — Tapu registration
- — document submission
- — support until passports are received
- This is one of the most accessible options for obtaining second citizenship worldwide.
- The purchase takes 3 to 7 days and includes:
- Property selection and legal due diligence check
- Online or in-person viewing
- Reservation
- Contract signing
- Cadastre registration (Tapu)
- Final payment and receipt of ownership rights
- Everything can be done either in person or remotely—with full support from our team.
- Yes, over 50% of transactions are done remotely. We organize video tours, provide photo/video reports, verify documents, and handle registration via power of attorney. You receive the Tapu in electronic and paper form, with the original sent to you by your preferred method.
