Frequently asked
questions.

Yes. Foreign individuals and companies can invest through structures including real estate, Turkish companies, businesses and other permitted investments, subject to the rules applying to the investor and asset.

Türkiye can offer opportunities, but no market is automatically a good investment. Evaluate price, location, return assumptions, liquidity, legal risk, currency exposure, taxes and exit strategy at asset level.

Depending on the investor and regulations: residential or commercial real estate, land and development projects, operating businesses, Turkish companies, commercial projects and qualifying citizenship-linked investments.

Generally no. Residence status and investment ownership are separate questions, although tax, banking and operational issues can vary by structure.

Not necessarily. Some investments can be held directly; others may be better or necessarily structured through a Turkish company depending on activity, tax, liability and long-term objectives.

There is no universal minimum for investing in Türkiye generally. Specific programmes can impose thresholds; for example, the current real-estate citizenship route uses a USD 400,000 qualifying threshold.

Understand the asset, ownership or control, legal structure, price, market position, debts or encumbrances, income and expenses, taxes, liquidity, regulatory requirements, exit strategy and any residence or citizenship objective.

Do not treat the asking price as market value. Review comparable evidence, location, asset quality, rental potential, supply, liquidity and independent valuation where relevant.

Not without independent review. Rental yields, appreciation, occupancy and resale forecasts are assumptions, not guarantees.

It answers how you may eventually recover capital: likely future buyers, liquidity, restrictions, taxes, transaction costs and realistic holding period.

Significant non-refundable commitments should ideally wait until the legal and commercial position has been sufficiently reviewed. Refund and cancellation rights depend on the agreement and applicable law.

Yes, subject to nationality-based and statutory restrictions and restrictions affecting certain locations, land types and holdings.

No. A Turkish residence permit is not generally a prerequisite for a foreign national to acquire eligible property.

Yes. Security-related, geographical and statutory restrictions can apply, so eligibility should be checked for the specific property.

Foreign natural persons are generally subject to a nationwide quantitative limit, commonly 30 hectares, together with other statutory restrictions.

Potentially yes, but undeveloped or agricultural land and certain locations can trigger additional rules, project obligations or approvals.

Tapu Senedi is the title deed associated with registered real-estate ownership. Ownership transfer is completed through registration at the Land Registry.

Review the registered owner, property description, mortgages, liens, attachments, annotations, restrictions, easements and whether the registered asset matches what is being sold.

Kat mülkiyeti generally refers to condominium ownership for completed independent units; kat irtifakı is a construction-servitude structure. The title, construction and municipal status should be reviewed together.

An iskan is generally the building occupancy or use permit. Its relevance should be reviewed with the property's construction and municipal records.

Yes, but off-plan deals require deeper review of the developer, land ownership, permits, construction status, contract, payments, delivery obligations and termination or security mechanisms.

Many transaction steps may be handled through an appropriately drafted power of attorney, subject to formal and transaction-specific requirements.

Independent legal representation is especially valuable for a foreign investor because the seller, developer and broker are involved in selling the asset; your lawyer's role is to protect your side of the transaction.

A structured review of the legal status and risks of an investment before commitment. Scope can include ownership, title, encumbrances, zoning, permits, contracts, seller authority and transaction structure.

Depending on scope: ownership, title, encumbrances, planning or zoning, building documentation, contract terms and citizenship eligibility where relevant.

Yes. Mortgages, attachments, liens, annotations and other restrictions may exist. Their effect and removal mechanism should be understood before completion.

Preferably before significant money becomes non-refundable: review, understand risks, negotiate, then commit capital.

Yes. Independent review should not depend on buying a property sourced by NAVITICAL; a property, developer or opportunity found elsewhere can be reviewed separately.

Legal due diligence asks: Can you buy it safely? Commercial review asks: Should you buy it at all? A legally clean deal can still be commercially unattractive.

It may consider asking price, comparables, location, rental potential, expenses, liquidity, supply and demand, resale potential, seller positioning and your objectives.

No. Returns, rental income and future values cannot be guaranteed. Analysis can improve the decision, but outcomes remain subject to market and asset-specific risk.

A simple gross yield is Annual Gross Rent ÷ Purchase Price × 100. Net analysis should also consider taxes, maintenance, management, vacancy, repairs, insurance and other expenses.

No. High advertised yield can reflect higher risk, optimistic assumptions, weak resale liquidity or higher operating costs.

Define objectives, shortlist, complete legal and commercial review, negotiate, prepare transaction documents, complete payment and regulatory steps, transfer at the Land Registry, then arrange post-acquisition setup.

Registered real-estate ownership is acquired through registration at the Land Registry; payment or a private agreement alone does not transfer registered ownership.

Depending on the deal: title-deed charges, taxes, valuation, insurance, notary, translation or interpreter, legal or advisory, banking, agency commission and ongoing property expenses.

Compulsory earthquake insurance, known as DASK, is relevant for covered buildings and Land Registry procedures. Additional insurance may also be appropriate.

It depends on the transaction and payment structure. Banking and foreign-currency compliance should be planned before closing rather than left until transfer day.

Yes, subject to Turkish company, tax and sector-specific rules. The suitable company type depends on ownership, activity, governance, tax, capital and operational needs.

Potentially yes. Review can include corporate ownership, financial position, debts, tax, employees, contracts, litigation, licences, intellectual property and regulatory compliance.

A systematic investigation of a target business before investment or acquisition to identify what is being acquired, existing obligations and risks affecting price, structure or the decision to proceed.

Yes. Depending on the project, NAVITICAL can coordinate establishment, legal structuring, tax and accounting support, banking, licences, work-permit considerations and market-entry services.

Certain qualifying investments can support exceptional citizenship. The current real-estate route uses a USD 400,000 threshold with applicable conditions and a three-year non-sale commitment.

No. Price alone is insufficient; the property and transaction must satisfy the applicable legal and administrative requirements.

Not necessarily. NAVITICAL's preferred logic is good investment plus citizenship eligibility, rather than citizenship eligibility at any investment cost.

Yes. Where connected, NAVITICAL can coordinate the investment journey and citizenship process with qualified Turkish legal oversight for the relevant legal work.

Post-acquisition work may include utilities, insurance, rental setup, property management, tax and accounting coordination, maintenance, residence or citizenship, reporting and eventual resale or exit.

NAVITICAL can coordinate post-acquisition services through its team and appropriate service partners depending on the required service.

Generally yes, subject to tenancy, tax, licensing and other rules. Short-term or touristic rentals can be subject to additional requirements.

The model is designed to support the lifecycle, including coordinating legal review, transaction preparation, documents, tax and accounting input and relevant market or service partners at exit.
