Buying property in Türkiye
Buying in Türkiye: the $400k citizenship-by-investment route, SPK appraisal traps, DASK earthquake insurance, tapu, and lira FX risk.
Türkiye offers citizenship from a $400,000 property purchase — but the SPK appraisal, the three-year hold, earthquake (DASK) exposure and lira volatility decide whether it works. This hub clusters the citizenship guide with the FX stress test and citizenship checker so you buy on the real numbers.

Frequently asked
Can foreigners buy property in Türkiye?
Yes, with limits: purchases are barred in military zones, capped at ~10% of a district's area, and subject to a reciprocity list. Title passes via the tapu. The free eligibility check confirms your case.
Does buying property in Türkiye give me citizenship?
It can. A qualifying property investment held for the required period grants Turkish citizenship by investment. The dossier flags the current threshold and conditions for a specific purchase.
What Outpost is not
Not a law firm. We prepare and screen; an independent local solicitor does the legal due diligence and conveyancing. We can introduce one — you engage them directly.
Not an agent. We take no commission and list no property. Our read stays independent of whether any sale closes.
Not a portal. We don't sell you listings — we analyse the specific property you're already considering.
Not a money-mover. Payments and transfers run through your own bank and the notary, never through Outpost.
