Turkey

Turkey has a unique geographical position partly in Asia and partly in Europe. Throughout its history, it has acted as both a barrier and a bridge between the two continents. Turkey is also situated at the crossroads of the Balkans, Caucasus, Middle East, and the eastern Mediterranean, bordering the Black Sea, between Bulgaria and Georgia, and bordering the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, between Greece and Syria. It has borders with Armenia, Iran, and Azerbaijan in the east, and Iraq and Syria in the southeast, too. Turkey has numerous natural attractions, beaches, and cultural and historical locations and its largely free-market and diversified economy is driven by tourism, industrial and service sector, and agriculture. In 1945 Turkey joined the UN and became a member of NATO in 1952. In recent years, Turkey has become a major tourist destination in the world.

Turkey launched its citizenship by investment program in 2016 by granting residency, citizenship, and a Turkish passport to applicants investing either in real estate or a bank deposit.
