Foreign investors ask us this every week. So here are the answers.
Turkey’s real estate market is open to foreign buyers, but the legal framework is full of details that can make or break a transaction.
📌 Key Legal Points for Foreign Buyers:
🔹 Foreigners can own property in Turkey with very few restrictions under Article 35 of the Land Registry Law
🔹 A military clearance check (askeri izin) is no longer required for most nationalities, but restricted zones still apply
🔹 Your title deed (TAPU) must be properly registered at the Land Registry Directorate. Contracts alone do not transfer ownership under Turkish law
🔹 Real estate purchases of $400,000 USD or more may qualify for the Turkish Citizenship by Investment program
🔹 Always verify that the property has a valid occupancy permit (iskan) before purchase. Missing iskan is one of the most common and costly mistakes foreign buyers make
🔹 Off-plan purchases carry additional risks. Understanding the developer’s obligations under Turkish law is essential before signing anything
⚠️ Due diligence is not optional. Title searches, zoning status, mortgage encumbrances, and building permit checks are critical steps before any transaction.
