Most Efficient

Bank Deposit

USD 500,0003-year deposit

4–6 months from Power of Attorney

Commit USD 500,000 to a deposit or participation bank operating in Türkiye for a minimum of 3 years — in practice most often a state bank such as Ziraat; a bank preferred by the client is also accommodated. No asset management required — the transferred currency is sold to the Central Bank and the proceeds are held in Turkish lira under blockage, so your capital earns Turkish lira interest throughout the hold period.

  • Fastest processing time
  • Full interest earned during hold
  • No property or asset risk
  • Clean exit after 3 years
  • Bank-managed compliance
  • Direct attorney–bank coordination

Asset Backed

Real Estate

USD 400,0003-year ownership

4–6 months from Power of Attorney

Purchase qualifying Turkish real estate with a TKGM-appraised value of at least USD 400,000. Lower entry threshold, tangible asset ownership, and potential rental income during the 3-year hold.

  • Lower minimum investment
  • Tangible real estate asset
  • Rental income potential
  • Property in Istanbul or across Türkiye
  • Full Tapu legal representation
  • TKGM valuation compliance

Exit Strategy Service

After your 3-year lock-in ends, Turak Law manages your investment exit — property sale or bank deposit repatriation. Available exclusively to existing CBI clients.
