Is it possible to buy an apartment in Turkey without a residence permit?

Yes, you can purchase an apartment in Turkey without holding a residence permit or citizenship. Turkish laws regarding real estate purchases do not discriminate between Turkish citizens and foreigners, including non-residents. Citizens of Russia, as well as other nationalities, are allowed to buy property in Turkey regardless of their residency status.

This inclusive property law means that foreign buyers can invest in Turkish real estate as a simple transaction without the prerequisite of living in Turkey or holding any form of residency permit. This has made Turkey an attractive destination for international property investors and those seeking holiday homes or retirement properties. It's important to comply with all legal procedures and possibly consult with a local real estate attorney to ensure all aspects of the purchase comply with Turkish law.
