Can foreign nationals own property in Turkey?
Turkey works on a reciprocal agreement and if Turkish citizens are permitted to buy a property in their country, citizens from that country are allowed to buy in Turkey. With Turkey set to join the EU in 2007 this has opened its doors to allow citizens from many different countries to buy a property in Turkey in line with EU law. Foreigners are allowed to buy property or land in their own names in towns but not in villages or rural areas.
