Turkey permits dual citizenship, allowing investors to maintain their current citizenship while acquiring Turkish citizenship.

Turkish citizens enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 110 countries, including Japan, South Korea, and many South American nations. Turkey's ongoing negotiations with the EU may lead to visa-free travel to the Schengen Zone in the future.
