Obtaining citizenship from the Republic of Turkey is subject to various criteria. Turkish citizenship can be obtained for many different reasons.

One of them can of course be because of mixed marriages. The fact that one side of the married couple is a Turkish citizen, may give the other party the right to obtain Turkish citizenship.

Another way in which it can be obtained is on the basis of rights granted to those who were citizens of the Republic of Turkey in the past, but then lost their citizenship for various reasons. Such persons can, if they so wish, apply to Turkish consulates to get their citizenship back. As a result of investigation that will be conducted by the authorities, Turkish citizenship can be regained if there is no obstacle. In recent years, using this approach, many Greeks (more precisely, those who were born in Turkey, known as “Romios”), who had lost their Turkish citizenship, have regained it, which has also given them the opportunity to freely access their real estate assets in Turkey.

In addition, it is possible to obtain Turkish citizenship under certain conditions, by buying property, investing in Turkey, or in many other different ways determined by law.

You can apply to the relevant Turkish consulate in your country to explore what rights you have. If you need legal support, coordination and consultancy services on this subject, please feel free to contact us.
