Comprehensive answers to all questions related to obtaining Turkish citizenship
Many foreigners aspire to get Turkish citizenship, in various ways, because of the importance of this nationality, and the advantages that Turkey offers to its citizens, in addition to the prosperity that Turkey is experiencing, and the clear and promising future that awaits it.
In our article today, we will talk about everything related to Turkish citizenship, how to get it, and the advantages of having Turkish citizenship in details, attaching the article to the many questions about that citizenship.
The Turkish government sought to attract foreign investors to Turkey, in order to support the national currency, so it provided many facilities and advantages for real estate investors, and Turkish citizenship was one of those advantages.
A foreigner who owns a property in Turkey worth at least 400,000$, and maintains ownership of the property for up to three years, can get Turkish citizenship. But, the Turkish government has set conditions for the real estate investor to get citizenship, in order to fill any gaps in the law on granting Turkish citizenship when buying a property in Turkey.
It is an amendment to a previously existing law, which stipulates that the investor can sell the property to a Turkish citizen, who can sell it to another investor of the same nationality as the first investor. The new amendment prevents the sale from being of the same nationality as the first investor, but rather it must be of a different nationality.
To get citizenship, the investor is not entitled to sell the property until three years after owning it, and he may sell it to a Turkish citizen, or to another foreigner. But, the foreigner in this case is not entitled to get citizenship even if he is of a different nationality than the seller, but must buy from a Turkish citizen to get citizenship.
