For international investors Turkey has become a first-choice destination. Direct flights from most European capitals take 3–4 hours, the banking system works with non-residents and a deal closes within 2–4 weeks.

Budget apartments are available in Mersin and Trabzon — from €55,000 for a studio and €65,000 for a 1+1. The premium segment is concentrated in Bodrum and central Istanbul, where villas with pools and Bosphorus views cost from €1 million.

For a Turkish passport you need $400k invested in property with a 3-year non-sale clause recorded on the Tapu. For a residence permit only a red Tapu and İskan are required — no minimum amount. The ikamet lasts 1–2 years with renewal rights.

Advantages: low property taxes (0.1–0.6 % of cadastral value per year), transparent deal registration through Tapu Sicil, accessible non-resident mortgages from 6.5 % APR in EUR, developer installment plans up to 36 months at 0 %.
