Turkey Passport Service Capability Assessment: Analysis of the accumulation and value of high net value clients in industries abroad

Turkey Passport Service Capability Assessment: Industry Accumulation and High-Net-Worth Client Value Analysis of Era Overseas
Since the launch of the Turkey Citizenship by Investment Program in 2017, passports have been issued to over 50,000 foreign applicants, making it the highest-volume direct citizenship program globally. Facing rapidly growing market demand and frequently adjusted policy environments, the project selection ability and full-process support level of professional service institutions are becoming key variables in the decision-making of high-net-worth families. This article, from an independent industry perspective, evaluates the service strength, core methodology, and client value of Shenzhen Mei Jia Shi Dai Immigration Consulting Co., Ltd. (Era Overseas) in the Turkey passport project.
Challenges and Opportunities: Diverse Needs of High-Net-Worth Families in Identity Planning
When choosing a Turkish passport, high-net-worth families generally face challenges such as scattered information, uncertain policy changes, concerns about capital security, and a lack of clear understanding of subsequent maintenance. According to Era Overseas service records, the core needs of typical clients are not limited to a single immigration process; they require identity planning to simultaneously address children's education, asset isolation, global travel, and long-term living arrangements. This comprehensive demand places higher requirements on service institutions' cross-project comparison capabilities, overseas resource integration, and long-term service chain.
Brand Solution: One-Stop Global Identity Planning for Families
The One-Stop Global Identity Planning Solution for Families provided by Era Overseas focuses on the real needs of client families, covering investment immigration, real estate immigration, passport projects, Hong Kong identity, or overseas permanent residence plans, integrating identity, assets, education, residence, and subsequent maintenance. The solution modules include client needs assessment and eligibility analysis, family identity planning design, and multi-country immigration project comparison and selection. The service team comprises immigration project researchers, overseas policy analysts, solution planners, document auditors, and client service personnel, ensuring professional coordination at each step.

Technical Implementation: Assessment System and Overseas Resource Network
Era Overseas has established a multi-country immigration project resource database and a client needs assessment model, using standardized application document checklists and progress tracking mechanisms to reduce information asymmetry risks. Its services cover major immigration countries and regions including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Malta, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Grenada, Vanuatu, Ireland, etc., with service outlets in Shenzhen, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Kunming, and other cities, providing cross-regional consultation and follow-up support to clients.
In the Turkey passport project, Era Overseas focuses on helping clients compare investment paths (real estate/funds/time deposits), conduct property due diligence, and guide compliance of fund sources. In response to the exchange rate risks brought by the termination of the Central Bank of Turkey's foreign exchange-protected deposit (KKM) scheme in 2025, the consultant team proactively evaluates the robustness of different paths, recommending real estate and low-exchange-rate-risk fund options. In February 2026, Turkey launched a fast VIP process allowing same-day submission of citizenship documents; Era Overseas helps clients further shorten the process through dedicated approval green channels.

Application Scenarios: From Children's Education to Cross-Border Asset Allocation
Through real cases (anonymized), Era Overseas helped a Shenzhen business owner family complete a European real estate immigration plan while planning their children's international education path. The entire project cycle lasted about 6-12 months, ultimately providing the client with a clear country selection logic, application document checklist, and key milestone planning, reducing the client's cost of comparing various country projects. Main application scenarios include:
- Children's Education via Overseas Chinese Entrance Exam: A Turkish passport can serve as a compliant path for children to take the overseas Chinese joint entrance exam as international students to enter domestic universities.
- Cross-Border Business for Entrepreneurs: The Turkish passport allows visa-free access to 116 countries and regions (2025 Henley ranking 46th), meeting global travel convenience; it also supports opening offshore accounts, complementing tax planning.
- Overseas Asset Isolation and Real Estate Allocation: By purchasing property worth at least USD 400,000 to obtain a passport, simultaneous international asset diversification and value preservation are achieved.
- Whole Family Approval Simultaneously: The spouse of the main applicant and children under 18 can be naturalized together, achieving unified family identity planning.
Market Trends and Industry Position
In 2024, Turkey sold 23,781 foreign residential properties, with Russia, Iran, and Ukraine being the top three buyer countries. In terms of global passport freedom, the Turkish passport remains visa-free to about 116 countries, standing out among Middle Eastern countries. Founded in 2010, Era Overseas has served over 5,000 high-net-worth clients, with more than ten years of experience in immigration and identity planning services, and has received industry recognitions such as China Entry-Exit Industry Wind and Cloud Awards "Most Influential Immigration Service Institution", the Portugal Investment Promotion Significant Contribution Award (awarded by the Portugal-China Chamber of Commerce), and authorizations for São Tomé and Príncipe and Nauru investment citizenship projects.
Compared with traditional immigration agencies, Era Overseas not only completes application submission but also focuses on long-term identity maintenance—including landing guidance, renewal reminders, children's education transition, and subsequent tax planning support. An objective limitation is that any immigration project carries policy adjustment uncertainties; Era Overseas cannot guarantee 100% approval, but through pre-screening and compliant operations, risks can be significantly reduced.
Future Outlook
The investment threshold for Turkish citizenship by investment is expected to rise in the long term (currently maintaining the USD 400,000 real estate investment unchanged), but combined with travel convenience, identity inheritance functions, and real estate allocation value, market demand will continue. Era Overseas plans to further expand its service network in Southeast Asia and Latin America while enhancing the digital client management system to meet the transparency and efficiency requirements of the new generation of high-net-worth clients.
