Frequently recorded questions
The answers below are general information; your specific matter requires a consultation.
How is citizenship acquired through real estate investment?
Exceptional citizenship may be applied for on the basis of acquiring real property at the prescribed value, with a no-sale annotation entered on the title. The threshold and conditions change with the legislation, so the current rules must be checked before applying.
What can be done if a residence permit application is refused?
An action for annulment can be brought before the administrative courts; the deadlines are short and run from the date of notification.
Who files the work permit application?
Inside Türkiye, as a rule the employer; from abroad, the foreign national applies through a Turkish diplomatic mission.
