Comprar imóvel em Turquia sendo cidadão iraniano

Iranian citizens may acquire apartments, villas and land in Türkiye with full ownership rights — Türkiye does not apply US sanctions to property purchase. The general limits apply to all foreigners: a 30-hectare national cap and an automatic military/security-zone clearance check the Land Registry runs before transfer, routine for ordinary residential addresses.

All payment must flow through a Turkish bank, your foreign currency must be exchanged into lira there, and the bank issues a Döviz Alım Belgesi (DAB) — a foreign-currency purchase certificate. Without the DAB the Land Registry will not transfer title, and you cannot obtain a residence permit or citizenship by investment. For transfers above USD 50,000, documentary proof of the transfer is required. The DAB is the spine of the whole transaction.

This is the hardest part for Iranian buyers. US 'maximum pressure' sanctions and Iran's own limits on foreign currency held outside banks mean money typically cannot move directly. Funds are usually routed through a bank in a third country — commonly Türkiye, the UAE or an EU state — before reaching the Turkish purchase account. Build in extra weeks, keep clean source-of-funds documentation, and confirm with the receiving Turkish bank that it will accept your funding route and issue the DAB before you commit to a property.

The tapu harcı is 4% of declared value (nominally split 2%/2%, usually paid by the buyer). A SPK-licensed valuation is compulsory for foreign purchases — GEDAŞ specifically for citizenship files — so the appraised figure anchors the deal and protects you from the inflated foreigner pricing common in developer sales. Compulsory DASK earthquake insurance must be in place to register the deed; after the 2023 earthquakes, verify the building licence (iskan) and survey anything pre-2000.

Investing at least USD 400,000 in qualifying property opens citizenship by investment (the threshold was raised from the earlier $250,000 figure some older guides still quote, and a further rise has been discussed — confirm the live number). The property must be bought from a Turkish citizen or Turkish-registered company, carries a three-year no-sale annotation, and the price paid (via DAB), the GEDAŞ appraisal and the declared tapu value must each clear the threshold. Türkiye allows dual citizenship and does not require renouncing your Iranian nationality.

Ownership supports a short-term residence permit (ikamet) renewable while you hold the property. Rental income is taxable in Türkiye (residential rent below TRY 58,000 for 2026 is exempt; above that, progressive rates). On exit, the same sanctions-era routing applies in reverse — repatriating sale proceeds out of Türkiye needs a clean banking channel, so keep every DAB and tax receipt from the purchase onward to evidence the source of funds.
