GEDAŞ is no longer the only accepted valuer, and the TTB now lasts 12 months. Here is what changed on 28 September 2026, how often this rule has changed since 2019, and what it means for investors choosing a route.
| Before (March 2024 – September 2026) | Now | |
|---|---|---|
| Who can prepare the report | Only GEDAŞ | Any CMB-licensed valuation company in TADEBİS |
| How it is requested | WebTapu / TADEBİS | WebTapu / TADEBİS ("for citizenship" menu) |
| Validity of the TTB | 6 months | 12 months, then a new report |
| Paper copies | Not accepted | Not accepted |
| Minimum amount | USD 400,000 (deed price and payments) | USD 400,000 (unchanged) |
| REIT (GYO) sales | Exempt from TTB | KAP-published report or a new TTB report |
Any change in the land registry record between the report date and the application (for example a change of use, a new annotation or land given up for a road) requires a new report, whatever the date.
Valuation has been one of the most frequently changed parts of the property route.
Each change affects files already in progress: reports may need to be renewed, timelines move and costs rise.
Your file depends on a TKGM valuation and a TTB within 12 months of the application. If the valuation comes in below USD 400,000, the property does not qualify, whatever you paid.
You invest USD 500,000 in units of a CMB-regulated fund. There is no TKGM valuation or TTB for the investor: the CMB issues a conformity letter. The fund's own assets are valued regularly by independent licensed appraisers.
Fund assets are held by a custodian, accounts are independently audited and disclosures are public on KAP.
Both routes lead to the same Turkish citizenship, with spouse and children under 18 included.
