Comparison of differences between Turkish immigrants and Antigua immigration projects! Which is more suitable for you

The investment immigration program is one of the mainstream immigration methods in the world. It has been in operation for more than ten years, and thousands of applicants have immigrated overseas through investment immigration.

Turkish immigrants and Antigua immigrants are two well-known projects in the investment market, but many people do not know the differences between the two projects.

EasyGo International has compiled a comparison of Turkish immigration and Antigua immigration programs in detail, and then helps you sort out the differences between the two citizenship programs.

1. Comparison of application conditions

Turkish immigrants: no language, no residence, no explanation of the source of funds and other requirements, only need to be at least 18 years old, meet the investment conditions, can be approved Turkish citizenship in one step.

Antigua immigrants: fast and simple, no language requirements, no proof of property source, 3 to 6 months or so will be able to get an Antigua passport.

2, subsidiary applicant requirements comparison.

Turkish immigrants: The main applicant, his/her spouse and children under the age of 18 can obtain Turkish citizenship at the same time.

Antigua immigrants: may bring in dependent applicants including the spouse of the principal applicant, aged 0 to 30 years, financially dependent on the principal applicant's children, aged 18 or over, but physically or mentally disabled, living with and fully supported by the principal applicant; parents or grandparents of the principal applicant, or their spouse, aged 55 or over and financially dependent on the principal applicant; siblings of the principal applicant, or unmarried siblings of their spouses.

In terms of affiliated applicants, the Antigua immigration program should be more relaxed. It can not only bring spouses and minor children, but also adult children under 30 years old, parents over 55 years old and siblings. It is far more relaxed than Turkish immigrants and is suitable for three or even four generations of a family to immigrate together.

3. Comparison of investment funds

Turkish immigrants:

1. Purchase of property

Purchase of Turkish property: $400000 (one or more units) and hold it for three years, during which it can be rented;

2. Bank deposits

Deposit $500000 in a Turkish bank, or $500000 in bonds, denominated in the Turkish lira and held for three years.

3. Enterprise Options

Invest at least $1.5 million in an approved business as a single investor; or invest at least $5 million in an approved business for 2 or more joint investors, each investor must individually donate at least $400000.
