What is the security approval to purchase a property in Türkiye?

Because foreign citizens are prohibited from owning property near military sites or security centers in Turkey, security approval is required only once in any real estate project and from the first investor or buyer only and is not required from other buyers.

Obtaining security approval to purchase a property in Türkiye:

If you are the first buyer in a residential unit, you must obtain a security approval, which takes one to two months maximum. The application is submitted to the relevant authorities in the real estate project area.

However, if there are foreign investors who have previously purchased real estate in the complex or real estate project.. You will not be required to obtain security approval.

It is worth noting that it is better to ask before purchasing any property in Turkey whether you need to obtain security approval as the first buyer in the project or not.

It is worth noting that security approval requests are not rejected as long as the projects are not close to sensitive military and security points.

Most importantly, the selling party is responsible for submitting a request to the relevant authorities in order to obtain security approval for the first foreign investor in the project.
