The Premise

Citizenship is the quiet layer beneath every other decision.

Markets shift. Borders tighten. Rules are rewritten in rooms you are not in. A second citizenship is the layer that holds steady underneath all of it — the freedom to move, to bank, to educate, and to keep options open when others begin to close.

Programmes change. Thresholds rise. Countries that welcomed investors three years ago now do so on harder terms, or not at all. The window rarely closes loudly. It narrows quietly — one revision, one threshold, one new requirement at a time.

Aurea focuses on routes where the acquisition is serious, the process is legible, and the outcome is worth holding beyond the application itself. Turkey is the first such programme. Others will be added only when the same standard is met.

The Real Returns

Four freedoms most balance sheets do not measure.

Beyond the passport itself, citizenship gives a family a specific set of practical freedoms — the kind that compound quietly over time.

Mobility

Visa-free or simplified access to the destinations that matter for business, education, treatment, and family movement — without turning every journey into an application.

Optionality

A second route held in reserve. Used rarely. Valued always.

Continuity

A decision made once can extend to children, and in many cases to the generations after them.

Financial Reach

Broader banking relationships, cleaner cross-border structuring, and access to systems designed for international lives — discussed properly, never aggressively.

The Route

Citizenship through real estate. The cleanest path we know.

There are several ways to acquire a second citizenship: contribution, bonds, business investment, or real estate. We focus on real estate because it is the route where capital does not simply disappear. You acquire a qualifying property. You hold it for the required period. The application proceeds through that acquisition.

Turkey

A G20 economy, a serious property market, and a passport with reach. A qualifying real-estate investment of USD 400,000, held for three years, can support full Turkish citizenship for the investor, spouse, and children under eighteen. No residency requirement. No language requirement. Typical processing is four to eight months.

More programmes coming

Additional routes are under review. Aurea will list a programme only when its real estate, legal regime, and family-inclusion terms meet the same standard as Turkey.

The Process

From acquisition to standing, in five steps.

From first conversation to passport issuance, each stage is managed with local counsel and a clear view of the asset, the applicant file, and the post-grant obligations.

01

Consultation

A private conversation about your family, current citizenship, mobility needs, and what this second passport must quietly solve.

02

Property Selection

A curated set of qualifying properties, chosen for resale logic and programme compliance — not merely because they meet the minimum threshold.

03

Acquisition

Valuation, transfer, registration, and payment are handled with legal oversight. The asset becomes the basis of the application.

04

Application

The citizenship file is prepared, submitted, and tracked through the relevant authorities with local counsel.

05

Grant

Citizenship is granted, passports are issued, and the post-grant obligations are made clear before the file is closed.

Our Perspective

True investment creates the next asset — a citizenship.

We evaluate programmes based on the strength and long-term resilience of their underlying real estate markets, guiding families toward acquisitions with genuine intrinsic value and sound investment fundamentals. At the same time, we believe a second citizenship is a strategically important asset that enhances long-term security, global mobility, and future optionality. The strongest programmes are those where both elements align: a solid real estate acquisition combined with a credible second citizenship framework.

Considered Questions

The questions serious clients actually ask.

Do I need to live in Türkiye?

No. Türkiye does not require residence before, during, or after citizenship is granted.

Can I sell the property after three years?

Yes. After the required holding period, the property may be sold.

Is this full citizenship?

Yes. This is citizenship, not residence. The passport is issued after approval.

Can my family be included?

Yes. Spouse and children under eighteen are typically included in the same application.

Does Türkiye allow dual citizenship?

Yes. Türkiye permits dual citizenship. You should still confirm how your current country treats second nationality.

Why real estate instead of donation?

Because the capital remains attached to an asset. It can be valued, held, managed, and later sold.
