Citizens of most countries worldwide (including Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine) are legally entitled to purchase residential and commercial real estate in Türkiye.
Key advantages of the Turkish property market:
-
Simplified compliance: Unlike the EU, buyers are not required to disclose or prove the origin of funds when registering a transaction.
-
Speed: Property ownership registration takes between 3 and 7 business days.
-
Legal security: The only document confirming ownership is the TAPU — an official title deed issued from the state land registry, legally indisputable if properly оформed.
-
A tax identification number (Vergi Numarası) for foreigners can be obtained online or at the tax office in about 15 minutes.
Important: Foreigners are not allowed to purchase land plots larger than 30 hectares or property located in military or border zones.
Purchase procedure and payment methods
A transaction can be completed either with personal presence in Türkiye or remotely.
Remote purchase
You issue a power of attorney at a notary office in your home country (with apostille) or at a Turkish consulate. The authorized representative (lawyer or licensed agency) submits documents to the Land Registry Office.
Financial settlements
-
DAB certificate (Döviz Alım Belgesi): Mandatory since 2022. A foreign buyer must sell foreign currency (USD/EUR) to the Central Bank of Turkey via a local bank and obtain confirmation of TRY purchase equal to the cadastral value of the property.
-
Cryptocurrency: Many developers accept payments in USDT and assist with conversion to obtain the DAB certificate.
-
Installments: Most developers offer installment plans until construction completion with a down payment of 30–50%. Installments are also available for ready properties.
