Turkey Residency Without a Job Offer
Do you want to move to Turkey but have no employer there? Good news. Turkey citizenship by investment skips work visas fully. You do not need a job, employer, or income from a Turkish company. Here are the best paths.
The Citizenship by Investment route
The Turkey Citizenship by Investment (CBI) is the most popular path with no job offer. Minimum $400,000 property investment held for 3 years. Or $500,000 in a Turkish bank deposit. Family included. No language test. No residency required.
Other no-employer paths
Beyond the Citizenship by Investment, you can use a passive income visa (rentista), a self-sponsored work permit, or a freelance / digital nomad permit. All skip the need for a Turkish employer.
What you still need
You will need a clean police record from every country you have lived in for 6+ months. You will need proof of funds. And you will need basic health insurance. No degree or language test for most paths.
