How to Obtain Turkish Citizenship?

In this article I wanted to give some guidlines about the  different options and requirements to get Turkish citizenship.

A guide providing information on different options and requirements for obtaining Turkish citizenship. The easiest and fastest option is to become a Turkish citizen by purchasing a property worth $400,000. Here is the application process and important points to consider.

The easiest and fastest way to apply for Turkish citizenship is through property investment. If you have purchased a property worth at least $400,000, such as a residential property, commercial property, land, or similar, you can initiate the application process by applying to the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre. It is important to prepare the required documents in accordance with the legal regulations.

Verification of Property Value: After submitting your application to the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre, real estate appraisers will verify whether the purchased property is worth $400,000 or not. This is an important point as many applicants face issues in this regard.

Minimum Holding Period: You must hold the purchased property for a minimum of 3 years. Selling the property within this period may result in the cancellation of your citizenship application.

Other Important Points: As of May 5, 2022, if you and your family wish to benefit from this initiative, you need to purchase a property worth $75,000 and above. This amount applies to buyers interested in properties located in one of the 30 metropolitan cities in Turkey. You can also benefit from the program by purchasing a property worth $50,000 in the remaining 51 smaller cities in Turkey.

Residence Permit for Family Members: Under this scheme, foreign national family members can apply for a residence permit if they have shared or joint ownership of the property. This includes the applicant's spouse, children under the age of 18, and dependent adult children.

It is advisable to consult with a lawyer to ensure compliance with legal requirements and to navigate the process smoothly.

It is always recommended to check the latest requirements and procedures from official sources or seek the assistance of a lawyer.
