Notes

$400k real estate (hold 3 yrs). Gateway to US E-2 investor visa. Recoverable investment (asset, not donation). Large-economy passport. ⚠️ Aug 2026: Turkey revoked citizenship of 6,134 CBI recipients — mostly fraudulent/inflated property valuations from the 2018–2022 $250k era, plus some security-vetting cases; revoked citizens must sell Turkish property within 1 year. Program remains open. Valuations are now state-controlled (GEDAŞ-only appraisals since Mar 2024, electronic TTB certificates since Dec 2024), so buy only at genuine market value through fully compliant, arm's-length transactions.
