Turkey market overview
Turkey combines Istanbul city demand with coastal lifestyle markets such as Antalya and Bodrum. Buyers should separate lifestyle use from investment logic because currency, liquidity, building quality, and local demand vary widely.
Foreign buyers can generally buy property subject to nationality, military/security-zone, land-size, and title checks. Legal due diligence and independent title verification are essential.

Turkey visa, residency, and citizenship notes
Turkey has a citizenship-by-investment route linked to qualifying real estate, but the purchase must be structured correctly from the start.
Qasr Realty uses this section to separate property selection from immigration eligibility. A property may be useful for residence planning in some markets, but rules change and final eligibility should always be confirmed with official authorities or licensed immigration counsel.
Residency route
A qualifying real estate purchase can support Turkish citizenship by investment when the official threshold, valuation, title, and holding-period rules are met.
Permanent residence
Short-term residence may be separate from citizenship planning and is subject to changing local rules and district restrictions.
Citizenship position
Permanent residence and citizenship should be handled with specialist legal review, not treated as an automatic property add-on.
