Can Omani citizens get Turkish citizenship by investment?

Yes. Turkish citizenship by investment is open to Omani citizens on the same terms as other foreign nationals. Under Article 12/1-b of the Turkish Citizenship Law No. 5901 and Article 20 of its Implementing Regulation, it is enough to complete one of the qualifying investments and obtain an investor residence permit; citizenship is then granted by Presidential decision. There is no prior-residence or Turkish-language requirement.

Property types, payment rules, the Currency Purchase Certificate (DAB) and the certificate of conformity are explained in detail in our Turkish citizenship by investment guide; this page focuses on what is specific to Omani citizens.

Dual citizenship under Omani law

Oman replaced its 2014 nationality law with a new Omani Nationality Law issued by Royal Decree 17/2025, in force since 10 February 2025. Under the new law:

• Article 5: Omani nationality may not be combined with another nationality except by Royal Decree, on the recommendation of the Minister of Interior.
• Article 6: an Omani may renounce Omani nationality to acquire another, with the Minister’s approval.
• Article 23: an Omani who acquires another nationality in breach of the law loses Omani nationality by operation of law.

Omani documents: apostille

Oman acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on 12 May 2011, and it has been in force for Oman since 30 January 2012. Omani public documents are therefore certified with an apostille, then translated into Turkish by a sworn translator in Türkiye and notarised.

• Arabic names must be transliterated exactly as in the passport.

Visa, travel and power of attorney

According to the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Omani ordinary passport holders are exempt from visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

• Embassy of Türkiye in MuscatConsular services including powers of attorney.

Purchases and paperwork can be handled with a power of attorney issued at the embassy or before an Omani notary with an apostille, translated into Turkish.

Transferring funds from Oman

Oman does not apply general foreign-exchange controls; the rial is pegged to the US dollar. On the Turkish side, payment must be a documented bank transfer in the investor’s name, the foreign currency is sold to a Turkish bank and a Currency Purchase Certificate (DAB) is issued. Keep SWIFT and source-of-funds records.

Spouse and children

Under Article 12/1-b of Law No. 5901, the investor’s foreign spouse and the minor (under 18) or dependent children of the investor and spouse are included in the same file without additional investment. Parents and siblings are not covered and need their own investment.

• Where there is more than one spouse, only one spouse can be included, because of Turkish public order.
• For children from another marriage, the other parent’s consent or a custody document may be requested.
• For a child close to 18, the file should be prepared early, as the process can take time.
