    There are only four countries that cannot apply for citizenship through real estate investment: North Korea, Armenia, Taiwan and Syria. There are no restrictions on investors from Afghanistan.

    There are no restrictions on citizens of Afghanistan if they apply for Turkish citizenship. The most popular way to obtain Turkish citizenship is by investment. One could invest at least $500,000 into fixed capital; or purchase real estate for at least $250,000 when registering it and indicate that the property would not be sold for three years; or create a company; or use a deposit of at least $500,000 and keep the deposit amount for three years in banks operating in Turkey; or acquire a participation interest in a real estate investment fund, or an amount of participation in a venture investment fund of at least $500,000 and undertake to own these participation interests for three years.
