Saudi Arabia and Türkiye have deep cultural and tourism ties. Saudi nationals are major buyers of Turkish real estate — particularly in Istanbul, Trabzon, Bursa and Yalova — and Saudi seasonal residence in the Black Sea coast (Trabzon, Uzungöl) is a well-established pattern.
Saudi passport holders apply for an e-Visa via evisa.gov.tr for short visits up to 90 days. Long-term residence requires a Turkish residence permit, applied for in-country.
Banking access is generally smooth with a residence permit. Arabic-language private banking and real-estate brokerage is widely available in Istanbul.
