Buying property can grant residence in Türkiye, but not any property and not in any district. The value threshold, the role of the district and the path from choosing a unit to the residence card.
Does buying property grant residence
Yes, buying a home can be grounds for a short term residence that is then renewed. This is not the same as citizenship by investment, they have different thresholds and different rules.
It is important to understand: the purchase itself does not guarantee residence automatically. You need a suitable property, the right district and correctly prepared documents.
Which property qualifies
For residence through property the state sets a minimum appraised value, and this figure changes from time to time. So the current threshold and the official appraisal must be checked right before the deal.
The property needs a clean TAPU and an expert appraisal confirming the value. The home is best new or owned by the previous owner for a sufficient period, a detail people often miss.
The district decides
Even with a qualifying property you cannot get residence if the district is closed to foreigner registration. So the choice of district matters as much as the flat itself.
We check the status of the exact address before purchase, so you do not buy a home where registration is later refused.
Step by step: from choosing to the residence card
In short the path is: choose a property in an open district, check the TAPU and appraisal, complete the deal and get the TAPU in your name, then gather the residence documents, insurance and tax number and submit the application.
Then an appointment at the migration office, biometrics and waiting for the card. With the right preparation this path goes without extra visits and refusals.
