about
Turkey’s most advanced Immigration and Citizenship firm
VIYA was founded by Israfil KAHRAMAN in 1996 in Istanbul. Throughout its 29-year journey from its establishment to the present, Viya has managed to distinguish itself from its competitors, which will take responsibility for providing many services to customers in the most profitable and safest way in Turkey and the world, and fulfill its responsibilities completely and on time. Today, Viya has become Turkey’s most advanced Immigration and Citizenship firm (with the brands ‘Viya Citizenship Investment’ “Viya Legal’ ‘Viya Migration’ ‘Viya Investment-Real Estate Consulting’), Investment consultancy firm and Real Estate sales agency.
Turkey’s Citizenship by Investment Program is the most popular of its kind globally, exceeding even the US EB-5 and UK Investor Visa Programs with tens of thousands of applicants in its 2.5 years. This is all thanks to interest from around the globe and especially from Iraq, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Iran, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia and China. Turkey’s citizenship law allows investors to acquire Turkish nationality by investing USD 400.000 – in approximately 90 days of processing time- with the assistance of Viya Citizenship. We have helped over 400 families to acquire their passports in our years of service- delivering experience and excellence.
