The volume of applications to Turkey’s citizenship by investment program (CIP), as reported by the government, defies belief; nearly 25,000 new citizens in 17 months.
In September last year, Turkey’s Interior Ministry said 2,611 investors and 7,351 dependents had obtained citizenship by investment under Turkey’s CIP in the first year since investment requirements were reduced from US$1 million to US$250,000. Those figures came as a shock to the RCBI-world; seemingly out of nowhere, the program had become the world’s most popular CIP, the absence of a visa-waiver agreement with Schengen notwithstanding.
政府報告稱，通過投資計劃（CIP）向土耳其公民身份申請的數量不符合人們的一貫認識，反而在過去17個月內有近25,000名新公民通過公民投資計劃拿到土耳其護照。
去年9月，土耳其內政部表示，自投資要求從100萬美元減少至25萬美元后的第一年，就有2,611名投資者和7,351名受扶養人通過投資獲得了公民身份。這些數字震驚了RCBI世界。儘管沒有與申根簽證免籤協議，但該計劃似乎已成為世界上最受歡迎的CIP。
Now, a recent set of data from the government put to rest any suspicions that the record numbers from September may have been a flash in the pan. On Friday, exactly five months after the last data release, that number had nearly doubled, according to the Ministry of Interior.
Daily Sabah reports that Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu told Turkish press on Friday that 5,111 investors had now received citizenship and that an astoundingly large number of applications – up to 9,000 of them – are awaiting adjudication.
Furthermore, an additional 1,382 investors had already completed the process and were waiting to receive their citizenship documents, said the Minister.
現在，來自政府的一組最新數據消除了任何懷疑，即9月份以來的創紀錄申請已經證明一切。根據內政部的數據，在上一次發佈數據的五個月後的週五，這一數字幾乎翻了一番。
《沙巴日報》報道說，內政部長蘇萊曼·索伊魯（SüleymanSoylu）週五對土耳其媒體說，現在已有5111名投資者獲得了公民身份，令人震驚的大量申請正在等待裁決，多達9000份。此外部長強調，還有1,382名投資者已經完成了這一程序，並在等待接收其公民身份文件。

The numbers boggle the mind. Presuming the previously reported ratio of dependents to main applicants (2.82) remains relatively constant, Turkey has already naturalized nearly 20,000 individuals in the 17 months since September 2018. Include the number of applicants who have completed processing but still await their documents, that figure grows to nearly 25,000.
If the numbers are accurate, it means Turkey’s interior ministry has approved 3,882 main applicants in the last five months, an average of 776 per month. No other citizenship by investment program in the world comes close to matching that.
如果假設先前報告顯示的附屬申請人與主申請人的比率（2.82）保持相對恆定，那麼土耳其自2018年9月以來的17個月中已歸化近20,000個人。包括已完成處理但仍在等待其文件的申請人數量，該數字還在增高速長達抵近25,000。
這意味著土耳其內政部在過去五個月中已批准了3,882名主要申請人，平均每月776名。世界上沒有其他投資計劃的公民資格能夠與之匹敵。

Minister Soylu further divulged that the 5,111 investors have so far injected capital amounting to US$1.7 billion through the program and that the 1,382 investors still awaiting documents would bring in an expected US$407 million. The Minister’s figures imply an average investment of around US$325,000, well above the required US$250,000 minimum.
Since September, then, Turkey’s program has raised investment valued at an average of more than US$250 million a month which, if the trend is sustained, would equate to annual receipts of US$3 billion (!).
But even that number may turn out to be conservative considering 9,000 additional applicants still await processing. Presuming (conservatively) that only 80% of them are approved, Turkey has another US$2.34 billion of investments in the pipeline.
部長進一步透露，到目前為止，已有5111名投資者通過該計劃注入了17億美元的資金，尚在等待文件的1382名投資者將帶來4.07億美元的預期收益。這個數字意味著每位投資者平均投資額約為325,000美元，遠高於要求的最低投資額250,000美元。
自9月以來，土耳其的公民投資計劃每月平均增加了2.5億美元的投資，如果這一趨勢持續下去，將為土耳其帶來每年最少30億美元的收入！
但是考慮到仍有9,000名額外的申請人等待處理，即使這個數字也可能是保守的。假設（保守地）只批准其中的80％，土耳其還有23.4億美元的保守收益。
