# Module 5: The Buying Process Step-by-Step

From first viewing to TAPU collection — and Turkish citizenship by investment.

Course progress 0/6 modules 

A typical foreign property purchase in Turkey takes **2–6 weeks** from offer to TAPU, depending on whether you're paying cash or financing.

### The standard 9 steps

1.  Property selection & inspection (in person or virtual tour)
2.  Reservation deposit (€2,000–€5,000, refundable subject to contract)
3.  Get Turkish tax number (free, 30 minutes at the tax office)
4.  Open a Turkish bank account
5.  Sign sales contract (in Turkish + your language)
6.  Wire funds, obtain DAB certificate
7.  Independent valuation report ordered
8.  Apply for TAPU at the Land Registry
9.  Collect TAPU — you are now the owner

### Turkish Citizenship by Investment

Buy property worth **$400,000 or more** and hold it for at least **3 years** → you and your family (spouse + children under 18) qualify for Turkish citizenship and a Turkish passport. The passport gives visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to ~110 countries.

### What can go wrong

The single most common problem is buying off-plan from an unlicensed developer. Always verify the developer's _iskan_ (occupancy permit) track record on past projects and only release final payment against TAPU transfer.

### Key takeaways

-   The full process takes 2–6 weeks for a cash buyer 
-   Tax number and Turkish bank account are mandatory 
-   $400k investment held 3 years = Turkish citizenship for the family 
-   Always verify a developer's past iskan record 
-   Never release the full price before TAPU transfer
