  The allure of obtaining a second passport through investment has never been stronger. However, as we move through 2026, the global investment community is noticing a significant shift in the citizenship by investment in turkey landscape. While the $400,000 threshold remains the primary entry point, the process has evolved from a simple real estate transaction into a rigorous legal vetting procedure .     The "90% Hold" Phenomenon Recent data reveals a startling trend: nearly 90% of all CBI applications are currently being rejected or placed on an indefinite hold by the government . This surge in rejections is not due to a lack of funds, but rather a failure in technical due diligence.

Expanding your business to Turkey is an exciting milestone. But before you print your business cards or launch your Turkish website, there is one crucial step you cannot afford to skip: Trademark Registration. Intellectual Property (IP) rights are territorial. Your registered trademark in Germany, the UK, or the USA does not give you protection in Turkey. Without a local registration, you are legally invisible, and worse, you are vulnerable. Step 1: The "Life-Saving" Similarity Search  The Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT) examines applications not just for identical matches, but for "similarity." If your brand is "SolarMax" and there is already a "SolarMix" registered in the same sector, your application will likely be rejected. Filing an application without a preliminary search is the most common and costly mistake foreign investors make. A comprehensive search conducted by professional trademark attorneys in Turkey can save...

This article provides a structured overview of the investigation, its legal basis, and its practical impact on stakeholders involved in cross-border polyester tr...
