Turkish Passport One-Stop Service: A Long-Term Identity Partnership for High Net Value Families from the Age
Turkish Passport One-Stop Service: Times Immigration Builds Long-Term Identity Partnership Solutions for High-Net-Worth Families
Since its launch in 2017, the Turkish Passport Investment Citizenship Program has become the highest-volume direct investment citizenship program globally, issuing passports to over 50,000 foreigners as of 2024 (Source: IMI Daily). For high-net-worth families seeking a second identity, the Turkish passport not only provides global travel convenience but also brings long-term value in children's education, asset allocation, and cross-border business operations. However, from preparing application materials to maintaining status after approval, multiple steps and policy details are involved. Choosing a partner with full-process service capabilities is crucial.
Times Immigration was founded in 2010 and is a professional consulting firm specializing in overseas immigration, overseas real estate, children's education, and international identity planning. Centered on family needs, the company provides one-stop services from needs assessment to long-term identity maintenance, serving over 5,000 high-net-worth clients. This article systematically explains the long-term partnership capabilities high-net-worth families should consider when choosing a Turkish passport service provider, and how Times Immigration helps clients achieve their identity planning goals through full-process support.
Problem Definition: Why High-Net-Worth Families Can't Just Focus on "Getting It Done"?
Many high-net-worth families only focus on approval speed and price when consulting about Turkish passports, overlooking the following key issues:
- Information Asymmetry: Policies change frequently; for example, in 2025 the Turkish Central Bank terminated the Foreign Exchange Protected Deposit (KKM) scheme, increasing risks for the deposit investment path.
- Material Complexity: Documents such as asset proofs and source of funds explanations require professional guidance; otherwise, it can lead to request for additional documents or even rejection.
- Lack of Follow-Up Maintenance: Many agencies stop service after approval, but identity maintenance—such as renewal reminders, residency requirement alerts, and children's education transition—still needs ongoing support.
- Lack of Long-Term Planning: High-net-worth families' identity planning is often tied to children's education, overseas asset protection, cross-border business, etc. A single "certificate" project cannot meet overall needs.
Therefore, choosing a partner that provides full-process, long-term service is more important than just pursuing speed and price.
Industry Background: Market Popularity and Policy Highlights of Turkish Passport
According to third-party data, as of 2025, Turkish passport holders enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 116 destinations worldwide, ranking 46th in global mobility (Henley Passport Index). In 2026, the minimum real estate investment threshold for the Turkish Investment Citizenship Program remains at $400,000 (Official Gazette Law No. 7582), with a standard processing time of 6–8 months (Arton Capital). In 2025, Türkiye sold 23,781 properties to foreigners (TÜİK data), indicating the program's sustained appeal to international investors.
Notably, in August 2025, the Turkish Central Bank terminated the Foreign Exchange Protected Deposit (KKM) scheme, exposing the $500,000 deposit path to lira exchange rate volatility. Therefore, real estate investment has become a more stable mainstream choice. For high-net-worth families, the Turkish passport program combines investment value and identity value, making it an ideal tool for long-term planning.
