A roadmap for your nationality
Turkish citizenship for Bangladeshi entrepreneurs: a new gateway from Dhaka
Many families in Bangladesh already know Türkiye through its television dramas, its food and the mosques of Istanbul. Now you can turn that affection into a solid step for your family's future. Buy a home worth USD 400,000, or put USD 500,000 into an eligible fund, bank deposit or government bonds: both paths lead to Turkish citizenship. Our investor relations team guides you from the very first call in Dhaka.

- Your spouse and children can be included in the application.
Why Türkiye for Bangladeshi investors
Familiar values, easy living
In Türkiye the call to prayer, halal food and family-centred life are a natural part of every day. Living among people who celebrate Ramadan and Eid around crowded tables makes settling in simple and comfortable for Bangladeshi families.
Direct flights from Dhaka
Direct flights connect Dhaka and Istanbul. From Istanbul Airport you can reach many cities in Europe, North America and the Middle East with a single connection, so business trips and family visits can all be planned from one hub.
A strong textile partnership
Bangladesh is a leader in ready-made garments, while Türkiye is one of the world's major producers of fabric, yarn and design. For investors in this sector, Turkish citizenship makes it much easier to open a company in Istanbul and work with suppliers and European buyers.
Quality schooling for your children
Many Turkish universities offer programmes taught in English and welcome international students. As Turkish citizens, your children can apply as domestic students, earn a degree recognised in Europe and start their careers with a much wider range of options.
Two investment routes to Turkish citizenship
Real estate: USD 400,000
Buy property worth at least USD 400,000 and keep it for 3 years. You can use it as a home for your family or rent it out.
Fund, deposit or bonds: USD 500,000
Invest USD 500,000 in eligible real estate or venture capital funds, a deposit at a bank in Türkiye or government bonds, and keep the investment for 3 years.
The process for Bangladeshi applicants
A first call in your language: goals, route (property or fund), budget and family composition.
Document preparation at home: legalisation and translation.
Bank account in Türkiye and traceable transfer of the investment amount.
Investment execution: property purchase with valuation and title deed, or fund unit purchase with MKK blockage.
Conformity certificate, investor residence permit and the citizenship application.
Decision and passport issuance; family members included in the same file.
Practical notes for Bangladeshi applicants
Bangladesh is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention (in force since 2025). Birth and marriage certificates and the police clearance certificate are apostilled at home and then translated by a sworn translator in Türkiye.
The investment is sent from Bangladesh by traceable bank transfer to your account in Türkiye. Keep the bank records and the exchange certificate, because they are part of the application file.
Bangladesh has its own rules on holding another citizenship. Our investor relations team goes through them with you before you apply, so your plan fits both countries.
Documents typically requested
- Valid passport for each applicant
- Birth certificates and, for spouses, the marriage certificate
- Police clearance certificate for the main applicant and spouse
- Biometric photographs
- Proof of the investment (title deed and valuation, or fund conformity certificate)
- Bank records showing the foreign exchange transfer and the exchange certificate
- Health insurance for the residence permit stage
Frequently asked
Can I follow the process from Dhaka?
Yes. Our investor relations team handles most of the steps on your behalf and keeps you informed at every stage. You only need to travel to Türkiye when it is truly necessary, at a time that suits you.
Which investment route suits me better?
That depends on your goals. If you want a home to use or rent out, the USD 400,000 property route fits well. If you prefer a simpler financial investment, the USD 500,000 fund, deposit or bond route stands out.
Could my children study at Turkish universities?
Yes. Children under 18 can become Turkish citizens in the same file. As citizens they can apply to schools and universities as Turkish students, and continue their studies in Türkiye or anywhere else in the world.
How are documents from Bangladesh legalised for a Turkish application?
By apostille: Bangladesh is a party to the Apostille Convention (in force since 2025).
