Real Estate in Istanbul for Residence Permit: How to Get Turkish Residency by Buying Property

Real estate in Istanbul is not only a smart investment, but also a legal way to obtain a Turkish residence permit (ikamet). Current laws allow foreigners who purchase residential property to apply for short- or long-term residency, which opens access to banking, healthcare, education, and business in Türkiye.

As of 2024, to qualify for a residence permit through property purchase in Istanbul, the property must:

  • Be residential, not commercial
  • Have a minimum value of $200,000 (or Turkish lira equivalent at CBRT rate)
  • Be located in an open district (not a restricted area — we provide updated lists during selection)

The process is straightforward: after you register the title deed (Tapu), you submit documents to the immigration office. The application is reviewed in 2–8 weeks. Residency can be renewed annually as long as you retain ownership.

Our agency helps you select real estate in Istanbul suitable for residency, based on current regulations. We work only with trusted developers and sellers, handle legal due diligence, and assist with all paperwork.

Benefits of residency through property purchase:

  • Legal year-round stay in Türkiye
  • Family members (spouse & children) included
  • Access to healthcare, banking, schools
  • Easy renewal without leaving the country

⚠️ Important: Not all areas of Istanbul are open for residence permits. Some districts have been closed due to high foreign ownership rates. We help filter and find eligible properties to avoid wasting time or money.

If you’re planning to buy property in Istanbul for a residence permit, contact our agency today. We’ll guide you through the entire process — from finding the right apartment to receiving your residence card.

Living in Türkiye is easy — when you have professionals by your side.
