The cost of medical services in Turkey is considered more than acceptable, especially in comparison with the European Union. Although Turkey spends less money on medicine as a percentage of GDP (about 4.5%), this does not affect the quality and availability of medical services. Life expectancy in Turkey is at the level of developed countries.
For example, the cost of an X-ray starts from $30, ultrasound from $50, gastroscopy from $60.
New Zealand has announced a significant update to its business immigration strategy, launching the new Business Investor Visa (BIV) in November 2025. This program replaces the previous Entrepreneur Work Visa and is designed to attract experienced investors to inject capital into established New Zealand businesses.
Effective August 1st, the program offers second citizenship in 6 weeks via Dubai-based PPP. From $90k donation + $5k fee (single applicant).
Starting August 20, certain visa applicants must post bonds up to $15,000. The program explicitly targets Citizenship-by-Investment holders over vetting concerns. Initially affects Malawi/Zambia nationals, but CBI countries face potential inclusion with 15 days' notice. 30-day stay limit applies.
