Obtaining a Turkish passport by investing

It is worth noting that the Turkish passport not so long ago was ranked 50th in the world, but thanks to the good relations between Turkey and the countries of the world, the government's interest in air transport, and support for tourism, Turkey was able to reach the 38th place in a short period, as it is expected that Turkey will make progress in the global ranking by 2023 due to its great interest in establishing and financing mega projects in the tourism and air transport sectors.
The Turkish passport allows its holder to enter 72 countries without issuing a prior visa, and also allows travel to 40 countries.

In addition to the previous privileges, the Turkish passport offers many privileges and facilities, as it is possible to apply for a passport directly upon obtaining Turkish citizenship without the need for a period of residence, as is the case in most countries.
