Homes in Turkey priced at $200,000 or more, the value the migration authority sets for a residence permit as a property owner. This collection gathers 5,498 properties at or above that line, leaving out areas our data marks as closed to new foreign residents. The conditions, documents and application steps are set out on Turkey residence permit by buying property.
Which listings are in this collection
The collection takes Turkish listings whose dollar price reaches $200,000, the value the migration authority applies to homes offered for a residence permit. It leaves out areas that our data marks as closed to new foreign residents. These are the four neighbourhoods in Alanya covered by the July 2022 decision and the ten districts of Istanbul. It is a shortlist, not a decision. The Presidency of Migration Management (Göç İdaresi) rules on each application.
What to check in a listing before you pay
The collection filters by price, place and property type as the listing states them; the documents decide. Five checks before a deposit:
- Use on the deed. Ask for the title deed (tapu) and confirm the unit is registered as a dwelling (konut), not as an office, a shop or a plot.
- Value with a margin. The threshold is measured in lira on the day you acquire the home, so an agreed price close to $200,000 leaves no room for a discount or a swing in the lira.
- The neighbourhood on the deed. Whether an area is closed to new foreign residents depends on the neighbourhood (mahalle) on the deed, not the name of the complex. For the four Alanya neighbourhoods, local sources reported in June 2026 that applications had in practice resumed, but the authority has published no new list, so check the address with the provincial migration office. Not every closed neighbourhood is marked in our data.
- One dwelling. The document list refers to a single home that meets the value and says nothing about adding up two cheaper flats.
- Who will live there. A home used for a residence permit cannot be let. If rental income is the goal, the rental yield calculator helps weigh an investment purchase instead.
The full document list, applying on e-İkamet, renewal and family permits are covered on Turkey residence permit by buying property. Our guide to buying in Turkey covers the purchase itself, with its fees and steps. For a passport the home must be worth $400,000; see properties for citizenship by investment.
How we check the data
Methodology
Listings arrive by two routes: a developer feed refreshed every night, and adverts gathered from agency websites and international property portals. A price set in euros or lira appears on the cards in US dollars, converted each day at a reference rate. The collection uses that dollar figure. A listing taken off the market opens as a “listing removed” page.

Limitations
This page is general information, not legal advice. The seller or agent confirms the price and availability of each listing, and some prices may be out of date. Only the migration office confirms whether an address accepts new applications. The $200,000 figure comes from the authority’s document list rather than from a law or regulation, so it can change without notice.
